Rekey, repair, or replace?
The right home lock service depends on whether the problem is key control, worn hardware, or a door that does not close correctly. Describe what happens when you use the lock so we can discuss the appropriate next step.
| Your situation | Option to discuss | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| You moved in or lost a house key | Rekeying compatible, serviceable locks. | The cylinder works with a different key; the existing lock hardware stays. |
| The key turns, but the door catches | An assessment of the latch, strike, hinges, and door alignment. | The cause of the sticking needs attention; changing the key alone will not correct alignment. |
| The lock is damaged or worn | Repair or replacement after inspection. | The technician explains which components are serviceable and which need replacing. |
| You want a keypad or smart lock | A compatibility check for the chosen lock and door. | Installation may need suitable door preparation, hardware fit, and the owner's app or account setup. |
Before the appointment
- Count the doors and locks, including garage entry and side doors.
- Keep existing keys and any new hardware available for the appointment.
- For a rental, arrange the property owner's approval before changing locks.
Before the job is finished
Test every new key in every lock included in the work, with the door open and closed. Check that latches engage without forcing the door. For a smart lock, confirm the access functions you requested and keep any backup key in an accessible, secure place.

Home questions
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekeying changes which key operates an otherwise serviceable lock. Replacement may be better when hardware is worn, damaged, or no longer meets your security needs.
Can several doors work with one key?
Often, yes, when the lock cylinders are compatible. We can inspect the hardware and explain the practical options.
Do you install customer-provided smart locks?
Compatibility depends on the door, backset, handing, and existing preparation. Call with the model and photos so we can confirm the best next step.
