Rekey or replace your locks?
If your locks work well and you simply want old keys to stop working, rekeying is usually the simpler choice: we change the pins inside the cylinder and cut new keys, while the hardware stays on the door. Replacing makes sense when a lock is worn, damaged, low-grade, or when you want a different style, a stronger deadbolt or a keypad. We'll tell you which one fits your door and why.
Just moved into a new home?
You don't know how many copies of the old keys are out there: previous owners, contractors, neighbours, dog walkers. A move-in rekey is one of the easiest security upgrades you can make. Ask us to key every exterior door to a single key while we're there so you only carry one.
Landlords and property managers
We change and rekey locks between tenants, after an eviction, or when a key goes missing, and we can set up a master key system so you hold one key for every unit while each tenant's key opens only their own door.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rekey a house?
It depends on how many locks you have and their type. Call 410-874-9022 with the number of doors and we'll give you a quote before any work begins.
Can you match all my locks to one key?
Usually, yes, if the locks share a compatible keyway. We'll check your hardware and tell you what's possible.
Do you install smart or keypad locks?
We install keypad and digital locks and can advise on choosing one that suits your door and how you use it.
Can you get me in if I'm locked out of my home?
Yes. Call us, tell us where you are, and we'll let you know when a technician can get to you. We'll ask for proof that you live there before opening the door.
