Lock Repair
A lock that sticks, turns hard, or doesn’t latch properly can usually be fixed by cleaning, lubricating, or replacing a worn internal part.
Door Lock Repair
Loose strike plates, misaligned latches, and worn cylinders on exterior and interior doors.
Stuck Lock Repair
Locks that jam from age, dirt, or a slightly warped door often need adjustment rather than a new lock entirely.
Stuck Key Removal
A key that won’t turn or won’t come back out can usually be freed without damaging the lock, using the right extraction tools.
Key Extraction Service
A key that snaps off inside the cylinder gets pulled out piece by piece so the lock keeps working afterward.
Rekeying
Changes the internal pins inside a lock so old keys stop working, while the lock itself stays on the door.
House Rekey
A full rekey of every exterior door in a home, done in one visit and coordinated so all locks work off a single new key.
Lock Replacement
Installing a new lock when the existing hardware is damaged, outdated, or being upgraded to a higher security option.
Lock Change Service
Swapping out old or unreliable hardware for new locks across one door or an entire property.
Lock Installation
Fitting new locks into doors that don’t currently have the hardware installed.
Key Cutting Service
Cutting a new key from a blank, matched to the pins inside your lock.
Key Making
Creating a working key from scratch when no original exists, by reading the lock itself.
Duplicate Keys
Making spare copies of a working key for family members, staff, or backup use.
Rekey or Replace: How to Decide
Not sure whether you need new hardware or just a re-pinning? Here is how to choose the right approach for your property.
When to Choose Rekeying
Rekeying is the right call when the lock itself still works fine and you simply want old keys to stop working, such as after a move, a lost key, or a roommate change.
When to Choose Replacement
Replacement makes more sense when the lock is physically damaged, badly worn, or you’re upgrading to a different type of hardware, like a smart lock or a higher security cylinder.
