Just moved in? Rekey first
You rarely know how many copies of the old keys are still out there. Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing locks so old keys no longer turn, and it usually costs less than replacing hardware. If the locks are worn or low quality, we will say so and quote for an upgrade instead. Need extra keys afterwards? We cut copies on the spot.
Repair before replace
A sticking key, a bolt that will not throw fully or a handle that has dropped is often a repair rather than a new lock. Our lock repair service looks at alignment, worn pins and the strike plate before suggesting new parts.

Frequently asked questions
Can you open my door without breaking the lock?
In most cases, yes. Our technicians use non-destructive opening methods first. If a lock has to be drilled, we tell you before we do it and quote for the replacement.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving?
If the locks work well, rekeying is usually enough and costs less. If they are worn, damaged or basic models, replacing them with better hardware may be worth it.
Do you fit smart or keypad locks?
Yes, we install electronic and keypad locks and can check that your door and frame suit the model you choose.
