Our services include:

Should You Rekey or Replace Your Locks?

Good question - and we hear it a lot. If you've just moved in or lost a house key, rekeying your existing locks is usually faster and more affordable than replacing them. But if the locks are damaged, outdated, or you're upgrading to high-security options, a full lock change might make more sense. We're happy to explain your options on site, and we always give you a clear price before we begin any work.

Smart Locks, Keypads, and Modern Entry Systems

Looking to ditch the keys entirely? We install and program smart locks and keypad entry systems for homeowners who want convenience without sacrificing security. Control access from your phone, assign codes to family or tenants, and never worry about losing your house key again. If you're not sure which smart lock is right for your door, we can help you choose one that fits your needs and budget.

Deadbolt Lock Upgrades

Deadbolts are still one of the most effective ways to keep intruders out - but only if they're installed properly. We replace worn-out hardware with new, high-quality deadbolt locks that match your door style and security level. Whether it's a single-cylinder, double-cylinder, or keyless deadbolt, we make sure it's installed tight and aligned correctly for years of smooth use.

Landlords and Rental Properties

If you manage a rental or short-term property, you already know how often locks need to be rekeyed or changed. We offer fast turnaround for rekeying between tenants, as well as lock repairs and upgrades that meet Baltimore rental code. Need multiple units done in one day? We can schedule and complete jobs in bulk.

  1. You call - no automated system, just a local dispatcher
  2. We ask what's going on and give you a price estimate up front
  3. We send the nearest locksmith to your home
  4. We arrive, assess the lock, and confirm the job and price with you
  5. We get the work done right, quickly and professionally

Common Questions Homeowners Ask Us

Can you unlock my front door without damaging it?

Yes. In nearly all cases, we use non-destructive tools and techniques. Drilling is always a last resort - and we explain everything before doing it.

How long does it take to rekey all my locks?

Most standard homes take about 45 to 90 minutes, depending on how many locks you have and what type they are.

Do I need to replace my locks after buying a new home?

It's a smart idea. You never know who might still have a copy of the old keys. Rekeying is a fast and affordable way to secure your home after closing.

Can you install a smart lock I bought online?

Yes. We can install and configure most smart locks, even if you already purchased it. We also carry several options if you want us to bring one.

What if my key turns but the door won't open?

This usually means something is stuck or misaligned inside the lock or latch. We can fix it or replace the necessary parts on the spot.
