A lock is a small part with a big job, and the same is true of the work around it. Whether you need a door opened, a new key made or a whole building put on one system, the pages below explain what each service involves and when it makes sense.
An after-hours lockout is different from a planned visit, so we treat it differently. Fewer questions about upgrades, more attention to getting you inside, checking the lock still works and leaving you with something that locks properly behind you.
A knob lock alone is a latch, not a lock. Adding a proper deadbolt is the single most useful upgrade on most houses, and the residential pages explain how we choose one, install it into the door and frame, and match it to your existing keys.
When a landlord or employer holds keys to many doors, a restricted key system with a master hierarchy gives control without a fistful of keys, and stops any tenant or staff member copying theirs. The page explains how the keyway, the register and the hardware work together.
For landlords of commercial units, turnover means locks. We rekey between tenants, set up master systems that let the building manager reach every unit, and replace hardware that a decade of tenants has worn out.
