If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
You Were Broken Into and the Lock Was Picked or Bumped
Standard locks can be defeated with tools anyone can buy online for $20. High-security locks use internal mechanisms that make picking and bumping virtually impossible.

Standard keys can be duplicated at any hardware store or kiosk in 60 seconds. Our restricted keyways use patented blanks that only we can cut - and only with your authorization card.
Your Insurance Requires Better Locks
Some policies require UL-listed or Grade 1 hardware to maintain coverage for high-value inventory or equipment. We install the specific hardware your insurer needs to see.
You Have High-Value Items Behind a Standard Deadbolt
Jewelry, cash, firearms, sensitive documents, server rooms - if what's inside is worth more than a standard lock can protect, it's time to upgrade the hardware.

High-Security Locks FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Are these locks really pick-proof?
No lock is theoretically impossible to pick, but high-security locks like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are designed to resist expert manipulation for extended periods. For practical purposes, they stop the tools and techniques used in real-world break-ins.
What's an authorization card and why do I need one?
It's a unique card that comes with your lock system. Without presenting it, no locksmith can legally cut additional keys for your restricted keyway. It's how you maintain total control over who gets copies.
Can I put high-security locks on my house, not just a business?
Absolutely. Many homeowners install Medeco or Mul-T-Lock deadbolts on their front and back doors - especially after a break-in or if they have valuables, firearms, or a home office.
Do I need new doors to install these locks?
Usually not. High-security cylinders retrofit into most standard commercial and residential doors. We check compatibility during the site visit and let you know if any door prep is needed.
How much more do high-security locks cost compared to regular ones?
They cost more upfront than hardware-store locks, but they last significantly longer and eliminate the ongoing cost of rekeying after unauthorized key copies. We provide exact pricing during the quote.
