Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lock change after moving into a new place?

It’s strongly recommended because you can’t know who still has copies of the old keys. A lock change or a rekey gives you full control over access. It’s one of the easiest security upgrades you can do on day one.

Is rekeying as secure as changing the lock?

Rekeying is secure when the lock is in good condition and the cylinder supports proper pinning. Old keys stop working, and you get a new key set. If the lock is damaged or low-grade, a full lock change can be a better long-term choice.

How long does a typical lock change take?

Many standard residential lock changes can be done in under an hour. Mortise locks and smart locks can take longer due to fitting and alignment needs. The condition of the door and frame can also affect timing.

Can you match multiple locks to one key?

Often, yes, depending on lock type and keyway compatibility. This is commonly done through rekeying or compatible cylinder systems. We’ll confirm what’s possible after checking the hardware on site.

Should I choose a deadbolt or a mortise lock for my front door?

If your door is prepped for standard bored hardware, a quality deadbolt is usually the best value. If your door already has mortise prep, replacing with a proper mortise lock typically keeps the door stronger and cleaner. We’ll recommend what fits the door and your security goals.

Do smart locks work on older doors?

Many do, but alignment and door condition matter more with smart locks. Some doors need minor adjustments or reinforcement to prevent bolt binding. We’ll help choose between standard and retrofit smart locks based on what your door can support.

What if my door frame is damaged?

We can often improve frame security with stronger strike hardware and proper alignment. If there’s serious damage, we’ll explain repair options before installing new locks. A strong lock works best with a solid frame.

Can you replace commercial locks on aluminum storefront doors?

Yes, and those doors often need specific narrow-stile hardware like Adams Rite style components. Proper fitting and alignment are important for smooth latching. We can replace, service, or upgrade these setups.

Do you provide warranties?

Yes, we include a 6 months warranty for parts and labor on qualifying installations. We’ll explain what’s covered at the time of service. Proper use and normal wear are considered in warranty terms.

Will I know the total price before you start?

Yes, after diagnosing the door and lock situation, the technician provides a final price for approval before starting work. Estimates help you plan, but the on-site check confirms the exact hardware and labor needs. No work begins until you approve the quote.
