Common home lock problems
- Key will not turn
- Deadbolt sticks
- Key snapped in lock
- Lost house keys
- Door will not latch
- New home, old keys
- Smart lock battery died
- Loose door handle
Many of these problems start small. A deadbolt that needs a push, a key that needs jiggling or a handle that has worked loose is usually cheaper to fix now than after the lock fails. If you are not sure whether to repair or replace, we will explain both options.
Rekey or replace?
If your locks work well and you simply want old keys to stop working, rekeying is usually the economical choice: we change the pins inside the cylinder so a new key operates it. If the lock is worn, damaged or you want a stronger or smart lock, a lock change makes more sense.

- We are a mobile service, so the work happens at your door.
- You get the price before work begins, not after.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on apartments as well as houses?
Yes. We help renters, landlords and property managers with lockouts, lock changes, rekeying and mailbox locks. Renters should check their lease, since many landlords require a working key.
Can you rekey all my locks to one key?
Usually, yes, as long as the locks accept the same type of key. If one lock uses a different keyway, we can suggest a matching replacement.
Will you check that I live at the address?
Yes. Before opening a home we ask for photo ID and something that links you to the address. It protects you as much as us.
