Residential Locksmith FAQs
Rekeying is faster and cheaper if the locks are in good shape — it changes the key, not the hardware. Replace when locks are worn, damaged, or you want a security upgrade.
Yes, that is called keying alike. We can set your front, back and side doors to open with a single key for convenience.
We serve houses, apartments, condos and townhomes. Tenants should confirm permission with their landlord before changing locks.
Absolutely. We can add deadbolts, upgrade to high-security or smart locks, and point out weak spots at entry doors.
Most rekeys and lock changes take under an hour. Larger upgrades or multiple doors may take a bit longer, which we will estimate up front.
