Change or Rekey Locks
Residential locksmithing is small, careful work on the doors you use every day. We take the time to look at how the door hangs, how the latch meets the frame and how the key turns, because those details decide whether a lock lasts.

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.

Smart locks and user-rekeyable cylinders
Modern hardware gets its own look. Many keypad or app-controlled deadbolts have a conventional override cylinder behind a cover that can be rekeyed to the house key so the backup key is not a stranger on your ring, though some models are key-free and use an external battery backup instead. Some residential cylinders are designed to be reset by the owner with a small tool and a working key; the locksmith checks whether one has been reset correctly and whether it accepts the new key.
Where a smart lock is being kept, codes are reviewed at the same time so a departed keyholder's code goes the way of their key.
