Help with your home locks
Discuss house lockouts, rekeying and lock repair. Tell us about your door and hardware when you call to check availability.
01.
House and apartment lockouts
Locked out? Share your location, door type and whether the key is missing, broken or turns without opening the door. The entry approach depends on the hardware and its condition.
02.
Move-in rekeying
You may not know who still has a copy of your home’s keys. Rekeying can change the key that operates a compatible cylinder while keeping serviceable lock hardware.
03.
Lock or door problem?
A sticking deadbolt may involve door movement or latch alignment. A damaged or worn lock may need repair or replacement. Avoid forcing a stiff key or handle while you arrange service.
After a move or lost key
Rekey or replace your home locks?
Rekeying changes the key that operates a compatible lock, so the previous key no longer works in that rekeyed cylinder. It is worth considering when the hardware is in good condition. Replacement may be more suitable for damaged, badly worn or unsuitable locks. If you want one key for several doors, the cylinders and keyways must be compatible. For a rental, check the property manager’s instructions before arranging changes. Rekeying a mechanical cylinder does not reset electronic access codes.
Check the fit before choosing a lock
We offer keypad and smart-lock installation, subject to door and hardware compatibility.
Call with the exact product model before buying hardware or arranging installation. Door preparation, lock type, power requirements and the features you need all affect suitability. Remote access, app control and integrations vary by product; they are not automatic features of every lock. French and multipoint doors can need different hardware from a standard single-point deadbolt. Describe the existing mechanism so the options can be checked.
Prepare for a residential service visit
A few details about the locks, door and access needs help us discuss the next step.
Count locks and gather keys
List the doors you want included, gather available keys and explain whether you want separate keys or a single-key arrangement. Mention lost keys and any lock that already sticks.
Describe what happens
Tell us if the key turns normally with the door open but becomes difficult when it is closed. That can help distinguish a lock problem from a door or strike alignment issue. Have hardware model details ready.
Arrange authorized access
For a rental, follow the property manager’s instructions. Have identification and proof of authority available as requested. Ask about current availability and how the price will be confirmed before work begins.
Questions about residential locks
Choose the next step based on the condition of your locks and the way your household needs access.
Should I rekey after moving?
Consider rekeying when you do not know who has copies of the existing keys and the locks are serviceable. Damaged or unsuitable hardware may need replacement instead. Compatible cylinders and keyways are needed for several doors to use one key.
Does a sticking lock always need replacement?
No. Door movement or a latch that does not line up with its strike can make a working lock difficult to use. Describe the symptoms and have the door and hardware checked before choosing repair or replacement.
Will any smart lock fit my door?
No. Fit depends on the door preparation, existing mechanism and product requirements. Call with the exact model, including a lock you already bought, so compatibility and the requested features can be checked first.
