Whether you're moving into a new home, updating security at your business, lost a key, need a lock repaired, want to add another lock, or simply aren't sure which option makes the most sense, you've come to the right place.
Some situations call for a rekey. Some require a lock change. Others may only need a simple repair or adjustment.
You don't need to know the difference. Just tell us what happened. We'll explain your options and help you determine which solution makes the most sense for your home or business.
Not necessarily. In many situations, you may be able to keep your existing locks and simply rekey them. A rekey changes which key operates the lock, allowing the old keys to stop working without replacing the entire lock.
If the locks are worn out, damaged, outdated, or you want different hardware, replacing the locks may make more sense.
Not necessarily. If you have a spare key, rekeying the existing locks is often a simple and cost-effective solution. If you've lost your only key, the best option depends on the type of lock, condition of the hardware, and your security concerns.
In many situations, yes. Several locks may be rekeyed to work with one key. For larger properties, a master key system may allow employees to access only the areas they need while management uses a master key.
In many cases, the lock is not the problem. Weather, humidity, settling, and everyday use can cause a door to shift. A simple adjustment may be all that is needed.
Not necessarily. The problem may be inside the lock, or a worn component may no longer be engaging correctly. Inspect first; replace only if needed.
Most mailbox locks can be opened and replaced without replacing the entire mailbox. In some situations, a repair or adjustment may be enough.
Just tell us what the inspector, fire department, property manager, or insurance company asked for. We'll take a look, explain your options, and help you determine what makes the most sense for your business.
In many situations, yes. Even if the previous owner provided all the keys, there is often no way to know how many copies were made or who may still have access.
Not necessarily. Rekeying may be all that is needed. Depending on the size of the property and the type of locks, additional changes may also make sense.
