Professional Lock Change and Replacement Services

Sometimes rekeying is not enough and you need an entirely new lock. Whether your current lock is damaged, outdated, or you are looking to upgrade to a higher-security option, our professional lock change service has you covered. Our licensed locksmiths provide fast, reliable lock replacement for homes and businesses nationwide, with same-day appointments available in most areas.

When Should You Change Your Locks?

Knowing when to change locks rather than simply rekey them can save you time and money. Here are the most common scenarios where a full lock replacement is recommended:

• Damaged or worn locks: If your lock sticks, does not turn smoothly, or shows signs of tampering, replacement is the safest option.
• Outdated hardware: Older locks may not meet modern security standards. Upgrading to a newer model provides significantly better protection.
• After a break-in: If a lock was compromised or damaged during a burglary attempt, it must be replaced, not just rekeyed.
• Security upgrade: Switching to a high-security, smart, or Grade 1 lock adds a meaningful layer of protection to your property.
• Aesthetic renovation: Changing locks to match new door hardware or a home renovation is a popular and practical update.
• New property purchase: For complete peace of mind, replacing locks entirely ensures no old keys exist anywhere.

Types of Locks We Install

Our locksmiths are trained to install a wide variety of lock types to suit every need and budget:

• Deadbolts: The gold standard for residential security. Available in single-cylinder and double-cylinder configurations, deadbolts provide strong resistance to forced entry.
• Knob and lever locks: Common on interior doors and secondary entry points. We install and upgrade these for both function and security.
• Smart locks: Keypad, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and app-enabled locks offer keyless convenience with remote access management. Ideal for tech-forward homes and rental properties.
• High-security locks: Brands like Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and ASSA Abloy offer pick-resistant, drill-resistant, and bump-resistant cylinders for maximum protection.
• Padlocks and hasps: For sheds, garages, storage units, and secondary access points.
• Mortise locks: Heavy-duty locks often found in commercial settings. We install and replace mortise hardware for offices, apartment buildings, and retail locations.

High-Security Lock Options

Standard hardware store locks are adequate for everyday use, but high-security locks provide measurably superior protection. Key features of high-security locks include:

• Pick-resistant pin configurations
• Drill-resistant hardened steel components
• Key control so keys cannot be duplicated without authorization
• Bump-key resistance
• ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating, the highest commercial security standard

Our technicians can recommend the right high-security solution based on your property type, door construction, and budget.

Our Lock Change Process

When you call us for a lock change, a licensed technician will arrive at your location, assess your door and existing hardware, and help you select the best replacement lock for your needs. The old lock is carefully removed, the new lock is installed and adjusted for perfect alignment, and all keys are tested before the technician leaves.

In most cases, a standard lock replacement takes 20 to 45 minutes per door. We carry a wide inventory of lock brands and styles, so same-day installation is almost always possible.

Pricing

Lock change pricing depends on the type of lock selected and the complexity of installation. Basic deadbolt replacement typically starts around $75 to $150 including labor. Smart locks and high-security options vary by brand and model. All quotes are provided upfront with no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if I should change my lock or just rekey it?
A: If the lock is physically damaged, outdated, or you want a security upgrade, replace it. If the lock is in good condition and you just want new keys, rekeying is sufficient and more affordable.

Q: Can you match new locks to my existing keys?
A: In many cases, yes. Our technicians can rekey new locks to match your existing key, so you do not need to carry extra keys for different doors.

Q: Do you carry locks with you, or do I need to buy one first?
A: We carry a stock of common residential and commercial lock brands. However, if you have a specific model in mind, let us know when you call and we will confirm availability.

Q: How long will the new lock last?
A: Quality locks from reputable manufacturers can last 20 or more years with normal use. Higher-grade locks tend to have longer lifespans and better warranties.

Q: Is it worth upgrading to a smart lock?
A: Smart locks offer convenience features like keyless entry, remote access, and activity logs, but they still need to be physically secure. We can help you choose a smart lock that balances connectivity with strong physical security.
