What is covered

Residential locksmith services

Home lockouts

Entry for front doors, back doors and garage side doors, using picking or bypass tools before anything more invasive.

Rekeying

New pins inside your existing locks so old keys stop working. A smart first step after a move or a lost key.

Deadbolt installation

Single and double cylinder deadbolts fitted to existing holes or new bores, with strike plates set on long screws.

New lock installation

Knobs, levers, handle sets and smart locks, including doors that have never had a lock hole cut.

Master key systems

One key for the owner, limited keys for tenants, cleaners or family. Handy for duplexes and ADUs.

Mailbox and garage locks

Replacement mailbox cams and garage door locks, plus spare keys cut while the locksmith is there.

Other home work people ask about

  • Peephole installation on solid doors
  • Door hardware: hinges, strike plates and latch adjustments
  • Spare key cutting for standard house keys
  • Digital keypad and smart locks
  • Eviction lock changes for landlords, carried out on the day of the lockout
  • Home security advice and lock consultations

Picking the right lock grade

ANSI/BHMA grades locks from 1 to 3. Grade 1 has passed the toughest cycle and strength tests, so it is the sensible choice for exterior doors such as the front door and the door from the garage. Grade 2 suits most interior doors that still need privacy. Grade 3 is the light-duty option, fine for closets and low-traffic rooms.

Not sure what you have now? The grade is often stamped on the packaging, not the lock. Ask for a look during the visit and you will get a plain answer about whether an upgrade is worth the money.

Questions

Residential locksmith FAQ

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing the lock?

Usually, yes. Rekeying keeps the lock body and swaps only the pins, so you pay for labour and a few small parts. The price list shows rekeying starting at $19.00 plus the $29 service call fee.

Can you make all my doors use one key?

In most homes, yes, as long as the locks share the same keyway brand. If they don't, one lock may need to be replaced first.

Do I need to be home for a lockout?

Yes. Expect to show ID or proof of address before the door is opened. It protects you as much as anyone.
