House Lockouts
Locked out of your own home is stressful, especially in cold weather or late at night. A licensed technician can open most residential locks using picking or bypass tools without damaging the door or the lock itself, usually within 20 to 30 minutes of your call.
Lock Rekeying
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work, without replacing the hardware itself. This is the standard recommendation after moving into a new home, since a previous owner, contractor, or real estate agent may still have a working key. Rekeying is almost always less expensive than full lock replacement.
Lock Replacement & Deadbolt Installation
If a lock is damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade to a higher security grade, replacement makes more sense than rekeying. We install new deadbolts, knob sets, and lever handles from major brands including Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale, matched to your door and your budget.
Smart Lock Installation
Smart locks let you lock and unlock your door with a code, a phone app, or a fingerprint instead of a traditional key. Most models include a physical key override in case the battery dies, and battery powered smart locks continue to work normally during a power outage. We install and service Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled smart locks throughout Highlands Ranch.
Mailbox & Patio Door Locks
Beyond your front door, we also service mailbox locks, sliding patio door locks, and other secondary entry points that are just as important to keep secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekey if your existing lock works fine and you just need new keys, such as after moving in. Replace if the lock is damaged, very old, or you want to upgrade the hardware itself.
How soon after moving in should I rekey?
Immediately. Rekeying right after closing is standard advice from most home security professionals, and it usually costs far less than people expect.
Do smart locks work during a power outage?
Most battery operated smart locks continue working normally, since they run on internal batteries rather than home electrical power.
Will a locksmith unlock my house without damaging it?
Yes, in nearly all cases. A trained technician uses picking or bypass tools designed to open the lock without harming it.
Can you replace just one lock, or does it have to be the whole house?
Just one lock is fine. We can replace or rekey a single lock or handle every exterior door in your home, whatever you need.
