How residential work usually goes

Residential locksmith work splits into three broad situations, and they call for quite different responses. There is the emergency, where you are outside your house and need to be inside it. There is the change of circumstance, where the locks work perfectly well but the wrong people may still have keys. And there is the upgrade, where nothing is wrong yet and you want the hardware to be better than it is.

The emergency is the simplest: get in without damage, and check on the way why it happened, because a door that locks itself behind you is usually a latch problem waiting to become a habit. The change of circumstance almost always points to rekeying rather than replacement, since it is the keys in circulation that are the issue and not the locks.

Upgrades are where it pays to be selective. Money spent on a deadbolt that throws a full inch and a strike plate anchored into the stud does more for a house than money spent on a more expensive front door lock with a poorly fixed strike behind it. We would rather tell you which of your doors is actually the weak one than sell you the same lock for all of them.

Frequently asked questions

The strike plates. A deadbolt anchored with three-inch screws into the stud resists a kicked door far better than a more expensive lock in a strike screwed to the trim. It is a small job and the best value in residential security.

For a lockout, yes, since we need to establish that you live there. For scheduled work such as rekeying or installation, someone with authority over the property needs to be present to let us in and take the new keys.

Yes. Pre-war mortise locks and period hardware can usually be serviced, rekeyed, or fitted with a modern cylinder rather than replaced, which matters when the door is original and you do not want it altered.
