When to Choose a Lock Change vs. Rekeying

Many property owners aren't sure whether they need to change their physical locks or just change the internal pins (rekeying). A complete lock change is the best choice if:

• Your Hardware is Worn or Rusted: Older locks become easy targets for forced entry or lock bumping.

• You Want to Upgrade Your Security: Transitioning from basic locks to high-security deadbolts, restricted keyways, or smart electronic systems requires a new installation.

• Moving into a Brand-New Door: If you're building out a new space or replacing a door entirely, a clean lock installation is essential.

• Style and Aesthetic Updates: Upgrading the visual look of your residential entry handlesets or modernizing

commercial office levers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does it take to change a door lock?

A standard residential or commercial lock swap typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes per door, assuming the current door cuts line up perfectly with the new hardware. Fresh lock drilling on a door without pre-existing slots may take slightly longer.

Can I buy my own locks and have you install them?

Yes! While we carry an excellent inventory of heavy-duty locks directly on our service trucks, we are more than happy to provide professional installation services for hardware you have purchased independently.

Do you provide high-security locks that cannot be picked easily?

Absolutely. We offer restricted keyways and advanced high-security cylinders featuring unique pin configurations and hardened steel inserts designed to resist drills, picking tools, and lock bumping.
