A Closer Look at Our Residential Services
Residential Rekeying
Rekeying changes the internals of your existing locks so old keys no longer work, without replacing the hardware itself. It’s a fast, lower-cost way to regain control of your home’s security after a move, a lost key, or just for peace of mind.
Lock Replacement
When a lock is damaged, outdated, or doesn’t match the rest of your home’s hardware, replacement is usually the better option over rekeying. We can match new locks to your existing keys where possible or set your home up so a single key works throughout.
House Lockouts
Locked out of your home? A residential locksmith can get you back inside without damaging the door or frame, whether it’s a standard deadbolt or a smart lock that’s lost power or stopped responding. If it happens outside normal hours, our emergency locksmith service also covers home lockouts.
Deadbolt Installation
A quality deadbolt is one of the simplest upgrades for a home’s entry doors. We install single- and double-cylinder deadbolts and can recommend options based on your door type and existing hardware.
Smart Lock Installation
Smart locks let you lock and unlock a door with a code, fob, or phone instead of a traditional key. We install and set up popular brands like Schlage, Yale, and August, and can walk you through how the system works once it’s in place.
Security Upgrades After Moving Into a New Home
You never know how many keys are out there for a home’s previous owners, tenants, or contractors. Rekeying or replacing the locks after closing is one of the simplest ways to make sure you’re the only one with access.
Lock Changes After Lost Keys or Tenant Turnover
A lost key and a tenant moving out both call for the same fix: change or rekey the locks so the old key no longer works. This is common for landlords between tenants and for homeowners who aren’t sure where an old key ended up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rekeying changes the internal pins in your existing lock so old keys stop working, while the hardware itself stays the same — it’s the faster, lower-cost option. Replacing the lock swaps in an entirely new unit, which makes more sense if the lock is damaged, outdated, or you want a different style or higher security grade. We’re happy to take a look and tell you which option fits your situation.
Call us and stay in a safe spot — we’ll send a locksmith to your address who can typically get you back inside without damaging your door or frame. Avoid prying at the door or forcing a window, since that often turns a simple lockout into a repair job.
In most cases, rekeying is enough — it changes which keys work in your existing locks, so any keys you’ve lost or can’t account for stop opening your door. If the lock itself is old, damaged, or you’d like to upgrade your security, it’s worth replacing it at the same time.
Yes — we install smart locks from brands like Schlage, Yale, and August on most standard residential doors. Many homeowners pair a smart lock with a traditional deadbolt so there’s still a physical key backup if the batteries die.
Both. We install a new deadbolt on a door that doesn’t have one yet, and we replace or upgrade existing deadbolts that are worn, damaged, or due for a security upgrade.
Yes — it’s one of the most common calls we get. You have no way of knowing how many keys a previous owner, tenant, or contractor might still have, so rekeying or replacing the locks right after move-in is the simplest way to make sure you’re the only one with access.
Yes, that’s a smart precaution. Rekeying after a roommate, tenant, or house-sitter moves out is a quick, affordable way to make sure a key they may still have no longer works on your door.
