Home lock services we provide
Most residential calls fall into three groups: getting you back inside, controlling who has a working key, and upgrading hardware that is worn or easy to defeat.
- Opening doors after a home or apartment lockout
- Rekeying existing locks so old keys stop working
- Lock replacement, including deadbolts and smart locks
- Master key setups for homes with several doors
- Broken key extraction from door locks
- Key cutting and copies for doors, gates and cabinets
- Peephole and mailbox lock installation
- Repairs for sticking, loose or damaged locks
Rekey, repair or replace?
If your locks work well and you only need to cut off old keys, rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder so a new key works and the old ones do not. It is usually the lower-cost option.
If a lock is loose, rusted, hard to turn or simply low-grade, a lock change is the better investment. We can talk you through deadbolt grades, smart lock features and what suits each door.
Landlords, tenants and new owners
Rekeying between tenants or right after you buy a home is one of the simplest ways to know exactly who has access. Property managers often ask us to key several units alike, or to set up a master key so maintenance staff carry fewer keys.
Renting? Check your lease and ask your landlord before changing or rekeying a lock. See our guide on why to rekey when you move.
Brands we work with
The current site lists Yale, Mul-T-Lock, Falcon, ASSA and Schlage among the high-security brands we stock, along with other common residential hardware. Ask what is available for your door when you call.

Frequently asked questions
Can you get me back into my apartment without damaging the door?
We use non-destructive entry methods whenever the lock allows it. If a lock cannot be opened without drilling, we explain why and quote the replacement before we proceed.
How long does rekeying a house take?
It depends on how many locks you have and their condition. Tell us the number of doors when you call and we will give you an estimate along with the quote.
Can all my doors use one key?
Often, yes. If your locks share a compatible keyway, we can rekey them to work with a single key.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes. We can install smart locks you have bought or suggest models that fit your door and how you want to use it.
