Home Locksmith Services We Provide
House Lockouts
Locked out of your house, townhome or apartment? We use non-destructive entry techniques to get you back inside quickly without damaging your door or lock. Once you are in, we can make a spare key on the spot so it does not happen again.
Lock Rekeying
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work. It is an affordable way to secure your home after moving in, losing a key or ending a tenancy. We can also key all of your exterior doors alike, so one key opens the front door, back door and garage entry.
Lock Change & Replacement
If your locks are worn, damaged or simply outdated, a lock change is the better choice. We install quality deadbolts, knob and lever sets and handlesets from brands such as Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, and we can help you choose hardware that carries a strong ANSI/BHMA grade rating.
Smart Lock & Keypad Installation
Keyless entry makes life easier for busy families, dog walkers and short-term rental hosts. We install and set up smart locks and keypad deadbolts and make sure they are properly aligned with your door so they lock reliably every time.
Security Upgrades & Other Locks
We also reinforce strike plates, install high-security deadbolts, repair sticking locks and service mailbox, cabinet, sliding door and window locks.
Rekey or Replace? A Quick Guide
- Rekey when your locks work well but you want to make sure old keys stop working, such as after buying a home in Kentlands or Lakelands.
