Locked out of your home
Most residential calls start the same way: the door clicked shut, the key is on the kitchen counter. A technician opens standard door locks without drilling where the lock allows it. If a lock is high-security or damaged, you hear that, and the price change, before any drilling happens.
Tip. If a window is open, don't climb. Ladders and screens cause more injuries and repair bills than a lockout ever does.
Rekey or replace?
Rekeying swaps the pins inside the cylinder so every old key stops working. It costs less than new hardware and keeps the finish you already like. Replacement makes sense when the lock is worn, cheap or the wrong grade for an exterior door. A good rule: if the lock still turns smoothly and the deadbolt throws fully, rekey it.
Many Newark homes have a front door, a garage entry and a side gate on different keys. Ask to have them keyed alike so one key covers all three.
Smart and keypad locks
Keypad and app-controlled locks fail in predictable ways: flat batteries, a lost code, a firmware update that drops the pairing. Many have a mechanical override cylinder. A technician can work that cylinder, then help you reset or replace the unit.

Questions
Will rekeying work on my existing Kwikset or Schlage locks?
Yes. Both brands rekey easily, and so do most residential cylinders. Bring every key you want to keep working; the rest will stop.
Can a landlord change locks between tenants the same day?
Call with the address and the number of doors. Lock changes for basic locks start at $25.00 per lock plus the call fee.
Do you install deadbolts on doors with no hole?
Yes. New lock installation on a door without a hole starts at $85.00, because the door has to be bored and fitted.
