Lock Rekeying for Better Security

Two recent residential door lock jobs: We rekeyed a thumb latch door lock (left) and installed a beautiful new Baldwin deadbolt and handle set (right).
Rekeying locks offers a cost-effective way to improve your home’s security without replacing all hardware. We change the pins in the internal lock cylinder so they work with a new key and restore control over who can access your home. Rekeying is ideal if:
- You’ve moved into a new house
- You’ve lost keys or shared copies with contractors or previous residents
- You want all exterior locks to work with a single key
Lock Installation and Repair and Security Upgrades
If your locks are old and/or damaged, we can improve your security and convenience with a new smart lock on your front door. If you want to improve your home’s curb appeal, we can install a new lockset and other door hardware with an updated matching set in the color and finish of your choice.
A jammed or broken lock makes it hard to secure your home. We diagnose lock problems and complete necessary repairs or replacements. Our team services deadbolts, knob locks, smart locks, interior privacy locks, and garage entry doors. We install trusted brands that balance durability, style, and security while reinforcing weak door frames and strike plates to deter forced entry.
We also provide home security upgrades, such as reinforcing hinges, adding secondary locks on sliding doors, and installing basic access control solutions for added protection.
