Change or Rekey Locks
Landlords call us between tenants. Owners call us after a move. Families call us when a key goes missing. The reason differs, the remedy is often the same: rekey the cylinders, cut a known number of keys and make a note of who holds them.

Change or Rekey Locks
New keys for the locks you have, or new locks where the hardware has worn out: rekeying, replacement, deadbolts, smart locks and older mortise hardware.
Lock Rekeying
Walking every door that should be included
Before a single cylinder comes out, the locksmith walks the property with you and lists each opening: the front door, the back and side doors, the door from the garage into the house, a walkout basement, a gate with a keyed latch, a shed, a mailbox, and any interior door you want on a key. It is surprising how often the garage's side door or the storm door is forgotten and left on the old key. The list becomes the plan for the visit and, at the end, the record of what was done.
A door that is not on the list is not rekeyed, so the walk is worth two careful minutes.
