Residential locksmith FAQ
How fast can you get to my home?
It depends on where you are and how busy we are. Call and we will give you an honest arrival window before you commit.
Do I need to be home for a rekey?
Someone should be present to let us in and receive the new keys. We test every lock with you before we leave.
Will changing the lock damage my door?
In most cases no. Rekeying leaves the hardware in place, and replacements are matched to the existing door preparation.
Can renters change locks?
Check your lease and talk to your landlord or property manager first. Many leases require permission or a copy of the new key.
