Rekey or replace?
If your locks work well and you simply want old keys to stop working, rekeying is usually the more economical option: we change the pins inside the cylinder and cut new keys. If a lock is worn, loose, damaged or you'd like a stronger deadbolt or a smart lock, replacement makes more sense. We'll tell you which we'd recommend and why.
Security advice for older East Bay homes
Many homes around Albany have original doors and frames. A good deadbolt helps most when the strike plate is anchored with long screws into the framing, so we check the whole assembly, not just the lock. If you're unsure where to start, ask for a security walk-through and we'll suggest practical upgrades for your doors and windows.
After a break-in
If a door has been forced, we can secure it the same visit where parts allow: repairing or replacing the lock, reinforcing the strike and rekeying any locks whose keys may have been taken. If you're in danger, call 911 first.

Frequently asked questions
Can you rekey all my locks to one key?
Usually, yes, as long as the locks share a compatible keyway. We'll check your locks and tell you before starting.
Do I need to prove I live at the address?
Yes. For a home lockout we ask for ID or other proof of residence once you're inside, so we only open doors for people who have the right to enter.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes. We fit keypad and smart locks and can advise on models that suit your door and how you'd like to use them.
Can you change a mailbox lock?
Yes. We replace most residential mailbox locks. For USPS cluster boxes, the property manager or post office may need to be involved.
