"Dental practice with 6 operatory rooms needed a master key system. Kwikey designed it so hygienists access supply rooms and I access everything. Took half a day and works flawlessly. Exactly what we needed."

"Had Schlage smart locks installed on both doors. The technician helped us set up the app, create codes for the kids, and even showed us how to check the access log. More thorough than I expected!"

"Lease changed and the landlord required all locks be replaced before our new retail store could open. Kwikey installed commercial-grade Schlage locks on the front entrance, stockroom, and office — all within the landlord's specification. Quick turnaround so we could open on schedule."

Everything You Need to Know About Lock Rekeying
Can you install smart locks on standard residential doors? expand_more

Yes, we specialize in retrofitting standard doors with modern smart locks. We can help you choose a compatible system that integrates with your home automation while ensuring the physical installation is secure and professional.

Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more

Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.

Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more

Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.

Where should I keep spare keys? expand_more

Never under the doormat, flowerpot, or fake rock—burglars check these first. Give a spare to a trusted neighbor instead. Smart locks eliminate this worry entirely. We can also install a secure key lockbox that requires a code.

What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home? expand_more

We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs.

How long will the locksmith service take? expand_more

The duration of our locksmith services varies based on the complexity of the hardware. Most emergency vehicle and home lockouts are resolved professionally in a single visit. Technical rekeying is a relatively quick process per cylinder, while complex automotive programming or high-security hardware installation may require additional time. We provide an honest duration estimate during our initial diagnostic assessment.
