Change or Rekey Locks
Smart locks are a good fit for some households and an irritation for others. We install them, connect them, and are honest about where a keypad or phone makes life easier and where a solid mechanical deadbolt is the better answer.
Which one do I need?
- One key for the front door, another for the back, a third for the side door into the garage, and a fourth for the shed.Lock Rekeying
- The front door has a handsome lever and a keyed knob, and that is all.Deadbolt Installation

- Arthritis has made the small house key hard to grip and turn, especially with gloves on in January.Smart Lock Installation

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.

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.
