What we handle

Home lockouts: Locked out of the house, garage, or shed. We get you in and leave the lock working.
Lock rekeying: New pins inside your existing locks so old keys stop working. The fastest, least expensive fix after a move or a lost key.
Keying multiple locks alike: Every exterior door on one key, so you carry one key instead of four.
Kwikset SmartKey rekeying and resetting: Lost the key to a SmartKey lock? We reset it to a new key so you keep the lock you have.
Lock replacement and repair: Worn, damaged, or sticking locks repaired, or swapped for new hardware.
Deadbolt installation: New deadbolts installed and aligned so the bolt throws fully into the frame.
Door knobs and levers: Knob and lever sets installed or replaced, matched to your door and finish.
Residential door hardware: Handlesets, strike plates, hinges, and latches adjusted, repaired, or replaced.
Broken key extraction: Key snapped off in the lock? We remove the piece and cut you a new one.
Home key duplication: Copies of house, deadbolt, and garage entry keys.
Rental property and homeowner rekeys: Rekeys between tenants for landlords, and for homeowners after a sale, a lost key, or a change in who has access.
Mailbox and specialty locks: Mailbox locks and other compatible specialty locks rekeyed, opened, or replaced.

Lost the key to a Kwikset SmartKey lock?

You don't have to replace it. We can reset or rekey compatible Kwikset SmartKey locks without the original key, so you keep your existing lock and just get new keys. It's usually faster and cheaper than new hardware.

Rekey or replace?

Rekey when

Your locks work fine and you want old keys to stop working: you just moved in, a key went missing, or a roommate or contractor still has one.

Replace when

The lock is damaged, worn out, or hard to operate, or you want stronger or different hardware. We'll tell you which one makes sense once we see the lock.

Just moved in?

Rekey before you unpack. You don't know how many copies the previous owner, their family, or their contractors made.

Common questions

Will you need proof that I live there?

Yes. For a home lockout we ask for photo ID showing the address, or another document that shows you live there. It protects you as much as it protects us.

I lost the key to my Kwikset SmartKey lock. Do I need a new lock?

Usually not. We can reset or rekey compatible SmartKey locks without the original key, so you keep the lock and get new keys.

How long does a rekey take?

Most standard locks take a few minutes each. We'll give you the total for the whole house before we start.

Can you match my new locks to my old key?

Often, yes, if the brand and keyway are compatible. Bring a current key and we'll check.
