Our Locksmith Services
Lock repair and replacement
Fix grinding, binding, or freely spinning locks. We correct worn cylinders, bent latches, and misaligned strikes, and we replace hardware to the proper grade for your door. Keys work smoothly and the door latches with a light push.
Deadbolt installation
Install a true one‑inch throw deadbolt into a reinforced strike with long screws. We drill clean bores, match finishes, and align the bolt so it seats quietly and securely every time.
High security lock installation
Add restricted‑keyway cylinders and heavy‑duty deadbolts to resist picking, bumping, and unauthorized copies. Key control protects retail, clinics, and rentals that need tight access.
Smart lock installation
Set up keypad, Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth locks on wood, steel, or aluminum doors. We align latches, pair the app, update firmware, and show you how to add or remove codes without a rekey.
Mortise lock repair and replacement
Service vintage and commercial mortise cases: broken spindles, retreating latches, worn springs. We rehand or replace to match your trim and tune the closer so the latch catches.
Door latch and strike plate replacement
When a door won’t catch, the strike or latch is usually off. We correct reveal, move the strike neatly, and set depth so the deadlatch functions—restoring security and a quiet close.
Reinforced latch guard and security plate installation
Protect the gap against pry attacks with latch guards, wrap plates, and long‑screw strikes. Discreet options keep curb appeal while adding real resistance.
Peephole door viewer installation
Install wide‑angle viewers at the right height with privacy covers on request. See who’s there before opening—ideal for seniors and basement units.
Panic bar installation
Install Grade‑1 rim or surface‑vertical‑rod exit devices for fast egress. We pair with compliant closers and set dogging or alarmed trim to meet building and fire code.
Panic bar repair exit device repair
Fix sagging or sticking exit devices. We service rods, latch heads, and strikes, and we eliminate binding from warped doors or mis‑set closers to restore free egress.
Door closer installation heavy duty
Fit heavy‑duty closers and dial in backcheck, sweep, and latch speeds. A tuned closer protects hinges, prevents slams, and ensures a positive latch.
Lock rekeying for new tenants
Keep the hardware, change the keys. We re‑pin cylinders after move‑outs or staffing changes and can set up simple master systems with labeled key sets.
IC core cylinder replacement
Swap and pin interchangeable cores (SFIC/LFIC) on site. We record bitting and issue new cores and keys for clean, fast turnovers.
