Looking for a lock replacement locksmith? You’ve come to the right place as we have extensive experience working with all types of locks and assisting customers with finding the most affordable options that fit their needs. First, we’ll address a few common questions.
Why do you need a locksmith to install a new lock? Why not just do it yourself? For some simple lock changes such as interior doorknob lock change, you can probably do it yourself and not run into any problems. When it comes to more complicated lock changes such as front door deadbolts, this is where customers usually find themselves in a mess. Because you can have a lot of difficulty getting the old lock off to begin with, then if the holes are not the exact right size for the new lock, you really need an expert to start chiseling the wood of your door frame, because you don’t want to damage the door frame as door frames are very expensive to repair and then of course, with a new door frame you need fresh lock installation. The fresh lock installation should only be done by a true expert because if it’s done incorrectly, the repair can cost you a whole new door or even a new door frame. Fresh installation is when a locksmith drills a perfect hole in the door and a perfect latch hole in the door frame to install a lock where there previously was none. If you have an entry door with no deadbolt and only a doorknob, you want to get a deadbolt installed because a doorknob can be broken into so easily, they can sometimes be opened with just a credit card or butter knife. We also install swing bars for added security and security plates for door frames that allow too much access. Simply, any time the job will possibly include any drilling, chiseling, or cutting, you should hire a professional. If it’s just a simple doorknob change and you’re a handy person, you read the instructions on the new lock and save the cost of a locksmith by doing it yourself.
How much does lock change cost?
Simple lock change such as doorknobs can start as low as $25 depending on which one and how many you need done. More complicated locks such as designer locks, storm door locks, fresh installations, smart locks, keypads, and antique locks, cost more. Fresh installation prices start at $125, and smart lock installation and setup starts at $100.
How do you choose the right lock for your needs?
For specific lock advice, call us anytime and we’ll be happy to advise you. As a basic guideline: if you have a business, you’ll most likely want a mortise lock or keypad, and if you have multiple employees, you’ll either want code entry locks, or master key systems. If you manage properties or apartments, you’ll need smart key locks as you will need to rekey frequently so you’ll save a lot of money by having easy lock rekey that you can do yourself. Additionally, it’s best to have a keypad with the smart key cylinder because tenants lose their keys and get locked out, so with a code they can get in and you can come later with the spare key and rekey the lock. This is true for any rental property but especially short-term rentals. For most homes we recommend smart key locks because of the added security vs classic pin locks, and for a sleeker and more modern look, smart locks. If your home has a certain look such a large antique style door, the right hardware does everything for the look and you’ll want to keep it consistent, so we can recommend many styles of antique looking locks, or brass handles for gothic style French doors, and more.
Very often, you can save the cost of lock change by getting the locks repaired or rekeyed if rekeying solves your lock and key needs. Locks can be repaired about 50% of the time. Is lock repair cheaper than lock change? And how much does lock repair cost? Lock repair is cheaper than lock change when the repair is something like a spring being broken. If the whole lock needs to be taken apart and reassembled, it’ll probably be cheaper to just replace the lock. We’re always happy to try to repair the lock and if it doesn’t work, replace. Lock repair prices start as low as $15. What is lock rekeying and how does it save you money? Lock rekeying is when we change the key that locks and unlocks the lock, but you keep your existing lock. This saves you money because lock rekeying is cheaper than lock change because there are no parts. How much does lock rekey cost? Prices start as low as $15 per cylinder. When should you rekey your locks? Anytime you move into a new home, you suspect an unwanted person may have a copy of your house key, or you changed tenants or employees.
