The most common residential call we take is a lockout. The most valuable one is a rekey. If you just moved in, you have no idea how many working copies of your key are out there: previous owners, tenants, contractors, a property manager, a neighbor who watered the plants in 2019. Changing that is cheap and takes about an hour.
Each of these is a job we do routinely, not a keyword list. If what you need is not here, call and ask. The answer is usually yes, and if it is not, we will tell you who to call instead.
385-436-0353We pick, bypass, or decode the lock and get you back inside without damaging the door. Drilling is a last resort, not a default. We ask for identification and proof you live there before we open anything, and that protection is the reason you can trust the locksmith your neighbor calls.
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing locks so old keys stop working, while your hardware stays exactly where it is. It is dramatically cheaper than replacing locks and takes under an hour for a typical house. Every exterior door ends up on one new key.
New home, new rental, end of a lease, after a roommate moves out, after a breakup, after a lost keyring. Any of those is a reason to rekey. Landlords: keying a building alike with a single master turns every turnover into a much smaller job.
Most kicked doors fail at the frame, not the lock. Reinforced strike plates with three-inch screws driven into the stud, a solid Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt, and a properly aligned bolt throw do more for real-world security than any amount of electronics.
Keypad, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth deadbolts installed, configured, and, importantly, keyed to match the rest of your house so the mechanical override actually works when the batteries die. We also repair failed motors and dead keypads without destroying the door.
A snapped key in a deadbolt does not mean a new door. We extract it, service the cylinder, and cut a replacement. Sticking locks are usually dirty or misaligned, both of which are repairs, not replacements.
Cluster mailbox locks, file cabinets, gun cabinets, and residential safes with lost combinations. Small jobs, but they are the ones nobody else wants to take.

Rekey if the hardware is in good condition and you simply want old keys to stop working. Replace if the lock is worn, damaged, low-grade, or you are upgrading security. Rekeying costs far less. We will tell you honestly which one your door needs, including when the answer is the cheaper one.
Most houses take 45 to 90 minutes depending on the number of exterior doors and whether the hardware needs cleaning or repair along the way.
Yes. We ask for photo identification and something tying you to the address: a lease, a utility bill, mail, or a vehicle registration. Every reputable locksmith does this, and anyone who skips it should worry you.
Almost never. The overwhelming majority of residential lockouts are opened non-destructively. When a lock genuinely cannot be picked, as with certain high-security cylinders, we tell you before we do anything irreversible, and we quote the replacement first.
