Home Locksmith Services

Residential locksmith work can range from getting someone back into a locked house to changing which keys operate every exterior door. We provide mobile locksmith service for many common residential lock and key situations.

Home Lockouts

Locked out of the house? We provide mobile home lockout service and evaluate the lock before choosing the appropriate entry method.

Lock Rekeying

If your existing locks are in good condition but you don't want old keys to work anymore, rekeying may allow us to change the operating key without replacing the entire lock.

Lock Repair

A lock that's sticking, loose, difficult to turn or no longer latching correctly may be repairable depending on the condition of the hardware.

Lock Replacement

If a lock is damaged, worn out or simply needs to be upgraded, we can remove the existing hardware and install a compatible replacement.

Deadbolt Installation

We install and replace residential deadbolts on compatible doors and can help determine what type of hardware is appropriate for the door.

Smart Lock Installation

Have a compatible keypad or smart deadbolt you want installed? We provide installation for many residential electronic lock systems.

Broken Key Extraction

If a key snaps off inside a residential lock, we can remove the broken piece and inspect the lock and remaining key.

Emergency Residential Locksmith

24-hour help for urgent home lockouts, damaged locks, broken keys and other residential access problems throughout Atlanta.

Just Moved In? Consider Rekeying the Locks.

When you move into a house, there's usually no way to know exactly how many copies of the old keys are still out there.

Previous owners, tenants, contractors, cleaners, family members or property managers may have had keys at some point.

If the existing locks are compatible and in good condition, rekeying can change the working key while keeping the lock hardware itself in place.

If the locks are worn, damaged or outdated, replacement may make more sense.

We can inspect what's currently on the doors and explain the difference between rekeying and replacing it.

Front Doors, Back Doors & Exterior Locks

Most residential locksmith calls involve exterior entry doors.

We work with many common residential lock configurations, including:

  • Deadbolts
  • Knob locks
  • Lever locks
  • Keypad deadbolts
  • Electronic locks
  • Compatible smart locks

Door alignment and hardware condition matter just as much as the lock itself.

If a lock is difficult to operate because the door isn't lining up correctly, simply replacing the lock may not solve the entire problem.

We'll evaluate what the lock is actually doing before recommending a repair or replacement.

Do You Need Rekeying or New Locks?

These services solve different problems.

Rekeying changes which key operates an existing compatible lock.

Lock replacement removes the old hardware and installs a different lock.

Rekeying may make sense when:

  • You moved into a new home
  • Keys were lost
  • An old key should no longer work
  • The lock itself is still in good condition

Replacement may make more sense when:

  • The lock is damaged
  • The hardware is worn out
  • You want different hardware
  • You want to add a keypad or smart lock
  • The existing lock isn't suitable for rekeying

If you're unsure, tell us what you're trying to accomplish and we'll help determine which service fits.
