Lock Change and Replacement for Houses, Rentals and Offices

New locks are worth it when the old ones are worn, damaged, cheap or simply not what you want. We fit them properly, since a good lock on a poorly aligned door is not secure.

Who calls us about this

• Locks are worn, stiff or damaged.
• You want better hardware than the builder gave you.
• You are updating a rental between tenants.
• A lock was damaged in a break-in.

How the visit goes

1. We look at the doors and the locks in use.
2. We recommend replacement or rekeying.
3. We fit the new hardware and check alignment.
4. We give you keys and show you how they work.

What we look at

• The condition of the door and the strike
• Whether the finish should match other hardware
• The grade of lock that suits the door
• Whether a matching key for all doors is wanted

What affects the price

The type and grade of lock, the number of doors, and any door or frame work.

Before you call

Tell us the number of doors, the finish you like and whether you want the same key for all.

Good to know

A new lock should be matched to the door. Thin, hollow or damaged doors may need repair or reinforcement before a better lock makes a difference, and we point that out honestly.

When this is not the right fix

A door that is out of square needs adjustment first. A new lock on a bad door will not solve the problem.
