Home Re-Key

Rekeying your locks is important when moving to a new home, or when changing tenants on rental properties, or even when loosing a key. Rekeying is also a great option if your keyways are compatible and you want to have one key that works all your locks instead of one for each door.

Smart Lock & Deadbolt Installation

You’ve purchased a smart lock, now what? We can take the guesswork out of installs with proper door alignment and smooth bolt throw. A common issue why DIY installs fail is poor door alignment. We can adjust the strike to ensure smooth engagement.

Create/Duplicate/Code Cut Keys

Just need an extra key or two? We can duplicate any key. Have an old worn out key that isn’t working great? We can decode keys and create code cut keys so that you don’t have a copy of an already poor working key.
