Home lock questions
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekeying changes the pins so old keys stop working and costs less than new hardware. Replacing makes sense when a lock is worn, damaged or you want a stronger grade. We will tell you which fits your door.
I just moved in. What should I do about the locks?
Rekey or replace every exterior lock, including the garage and side doors, because you cannot know who still has a key. A single key for all doors can be set up at the same visit.
Do you change locks after an eviction?
Yes. Property owners and managers can book a lock change for after an eviction. Have proof that you own or manage the property ready.
Are double-cylinder deadbolts a good idea?
They need a key on both sides, which helps on doors next to glass but can slow an exit in a fire. Ask us about the trade-offs and local code before choosing one.
