Most home calls fall into three groups: getting back in (house lockout), making old keys useless (lock rekeying and new home rekeying), and upgrading hardware (lock change, deadbolt installation, smart locks and high-security locks).
Residential Locksmith services
House Lockout
Locked out of your home? We open residential doors using methods that avoid damaging your lock whenever possible.
Lock Rekeying
Rekeying changes the pins inside your lock so old keys stop working, keeping the hardware you already have.
Lock Change
We replace door locks with new hardware when you want a new look, better security or the old lock is failing.
Lock Installation
Installing locks on new doors, replacement doors or doors that never had a lock — fitted and aligned correctly.
Deadbolt Installation
A properly installed deadbolt is one of the most effective upgrades for entry doors. We fit them with reinforced strike plates.
Deadbolt Replacement
We replace sticking, rusted or damaged deadbolts — common near the coast where salt air wears hardware.
Smart Lock Installation
We install smart locks and make sure the door is aligned so the motor runs smoothly and the battery lasts.
Keyless Entry Lock Installation
Keypad and keyless locks let you enter with a code — handy for families, caregivers and rentals.
Digital Door Lock Installation
Digital locks with fingerprint, code or card access installed and configured for your household.
Residential Lock Repair
Sticking keys, loose handles and locks that won't latch — repaired so you don't need new hardware.
Broken Key Extraction
A key snapped in your front door? We remove the broken piece and can cut a replacement.
House Key Duplication
Accurate key copies for homes, cut and tested on site.
High-Security Lock Installation
High-security locks resist picking, bumping and drilling and use keys that can't be copied without authorization.
Door Lock Replacement
Full door lock replacement for entry, side and interior doors, matched to your door and style.
New Home Rekeying
You don't know who has copies of your new home's keys. Rekeying every exterior lock fixes that.
Mailbox Lock Replacement
Replacement mailbox locks for homes and many community mailboxes, subject to property or postal rules.
Sliding Door Lock Repair
Sliding glass doors are common in South Florida — and so are worn latches. We repair and secure them.
Patio Door Lock Replacement
We replace patio and French door locks, including multi-point locks.
Garage Door Lock Replacement
Replacement locks for garage entry doors and manual garage doors.
Bedroom Door Lock Installation
Privacy and keyed locks installed on bedroom and interior doors.
Door Hardware Replacement
Handles, levers, knobs and strike plates replaced for function and appearance.
Home Lock Security Upgrades
A walk-through of your doors with practical upgrades: stronger strikes, deadbolts and better locks.
How residential locksmith visits work
- Tell us what's happening and the type of lock or door.
- We arrive with the right hardware and confirm you live at the property.
- We explain options — repair, rekey or replace — before starting.
- Work is completed, keys tested and the door checked for smooth operation.
What affects the price
- Number of locks and doors
- Rekeying existing hardware vs. new hardware
- Lock grade and brand (standard, high-security, smart)
- Door condition and any modification needed
We explain the factors that apply to your job before any work begins. Lockouts and rekeys are usually handled in a single visit. Installing several new locks or smart hardware takes longer and can be scheduled.
What to have ready
- Photo ID showing the address, or a lease or utility bill
- Number of doors or locks involved
- Photos of the current lock if you have them
- Any HOA or landlord hardware rules
