  • Check the lock works properly after opening

Cost: $85-$150 for standard house lockout

Lock Rekeying Phoenix

Just moved into a house? Lost your keys? Need to cut off access for someone?

Rekeying changes the lock so old keys stop working. We take apart your existing lock, rearrange the pins inside, and give you new keys. Original lock stays in place — cheaper than full replacement.

When to rekey:

  • Just bought or rented a house (previous owner/tenant had keys)
  • Lost your keys somewhere
  • Broke up and want ex's keys to stop working
  • Employee/contractor had keys and shouldn't anymore
  • Just want fresh keys for any reason

Process:

  1. We arrive with rekeying equipment
  2. Remove lock cylinders from your doors
  3. Change the pin configuration (takes 5-10 minutes per lock)
  4. Cut new keys on-site
  5. Test everything works
  6. Give you 2-3 copies of new keys

Time: About 10 minutes per lock. Typical house with 3 exterior doors takes 30-40 minutes total.

Cost:

  • First lock: $85-$120
  • Additional locks: $25-$35 each
  • Example: 3 doors rekeyed = $135-$190

We can rekey most lock brands: Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Weiser, Baldwin, and others.

New Lock Installation

Need new deadbolts? Want smart locks? Old locks falling apart?

We install all types of residential locks:

Deadbolts: Standard deadbolts for front and back doors. Grade 1 or Grade 2 (commercial-grade) options available.

Cost: $120-$180 installed (includes lock)

Smart Locks: Keyless entry with smartphone control. Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, August, Kwikset Halo, and others. We install and program them to your phone.

Cost: $200-$350 installed (lock + programming)

High-Security Locks: Pick-resistant cylinders, hardened steel components, restricted keyways. Good for homes that have been broken into before or valuable property inside.

Cost: $180-$280 installed

Door Handle Sets: Combined lock and handle (common for front doors). Available in various finishes to match your door hardware.

Cost: $140-$220 installed

What's included:

  • Lock hardware
  • Installation labor
  • Keys (usually 2-3 copies)
  • Strike plate reinforcement
  • Testing to ensure it works properly

Time: 20-30 minutes per door

Lock Repair

Lock sticking? Key hard to turn? Latch not catching?

Phoenix heat and dust are tough on locks. We fix common problems on-site:

Problems we repair:

  • Keys that stick or won't turn smoothly
  • Locks that jam up
  • Loose doorknobs or handles
  • Misaligned strike plates (door has to be forced shut)
  • Broken internal springs or pins
  • Worn lock cylinders

Process: We disassemble the lock, identify the problem (worn pins, broken springs, dust buildup), replace broken parts, lubricate, and reassemble.

Time: 15-30 minutes for most repairs

Cost: $75-$140 depending on parts needed

Sometimes replacement makes more sense: If your lock is very old or badly worn, replacing it might cost about the same as repairing it. We'll tell you both options and let you choose.

Master Key Systems (Multiple Doors)

Have several doors and want one key that opens them all?

Master key systems give you one key that works on multiple locks. Good for:

  • Large houses with many exterior doors
  • Want one key for you, different keys for kids/guests
  • Rental properties (master key for landlord, individual keys for tenants)

How it works: Each lock gets its own key that ONLY opens that lock. You get a master key that opens ALL the locks. Other people only get keys to their specific door.

Cost: Depends on number of doors, but typically $200-$400 for 4-6 door setup.

We'll design the system based on which doors you want controlled by which keys.

Why Rekey Instead of Replace?

Rekeying is usually cheaper and faster when your existing locks work fine.

Rekey when:

  • Locks are in good condition
  • You like the current hardware style
  • Just need to change who has access
  • Want to save money

Replace when:

  • Locks are old or damaged
  • Want to upgrade to better locks
  • Current locks don't match your doors
  • Moving from keyed locks to smart locks

Not sure? Our tech will check your locks when they arrive and recommend which option makes sense for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get to me if I'm locked out?

Most Phoenix neighborhoods: 15-30 minutes. Depends on where you are and where our closest van is when you call.

When you call, dispatch will tell you the estimated arrival time to your specific address.

Can you get me into my house without breaking the lock?

Usually yes. We use lock picks and bypass tools that open the lock without damage. Works on most standard residential locks.

If you have a high-security lock or the lock is damaged/jammed, we might need to drill it. We'll tell you before proceeding if that's necessary.

What do you need to prove I live there?

For lockouts, we need:

  • Photo ID (driver's license, state ID)
  • Something with your name and the address (utility bill, mail, lease agreement, mortgage statement)

This protects you from someone claiming they live in your house and getting us to open it for them.

Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving in?

Rekey is usually the right choice if the existing locks are in good condition. It's cheaper ($135-190 for 3 doors) and you don't have to worry about who has old keys.

Replace if the locks are old, damaged, or you want to upgrade to better locks.

How long does it take to rekey a house?

About 10 minutes per lock once we start working. A typical house with:

  • 1 door: 15-20 minutes total
  • 3 doors: 30-40 minutes total
  • 5 doors: 45-60 minutes total

We can usually do same-day rekeying if you call in the morning.

Can you install smart locks that work with my phone?

Yes. We install Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, August, and other smart lock brands. We'll mount the lock, program it, connect it to your phone, and show you how to use it.

Typical installation takes 30-45 minutes per door.

Do you provide keys with rekeying service?

Yes. We cut 2-3 keys for each lock we rekey (included in the price). Need more keys? We can cut additional copies for $5-10 each.

What if my lock breaks again after you fix it?

Our work comes with a 30-day warranty on labor. If a lock we repaired or installed stops working within 30 days (and you didn't damage it), we'll come back and fix it at no charge.

Parts carry manufacturer warranties (usually 1-3 years depending on brand).

Can I get all my house keys on one key?

Only if you rekey all the locks to match each other. We can rekey every lock in your house to work with the same key — one key opens front door, back door, side door, garage door, etc.

Cost: First lock $85-120, additional locks $25-35 each

Common Phoenix Home Lock Problems

Heat-Related Issues

Phoenix's extreme heat causes:

  • Metal expanding and locks getting tight
  • Plastic smart lock components warping
  • Door frames shifting (makes locks misalign)

Solution: Regular lubrication with graphite spray (not oil) helps. Misaligned locks need adjustment.

Dust and Debris

Desert dust gets inside locks and causes:

  • Keys that stick
  • Locks that feel gritty
  • Mechanisms that jam

Solution: Blow out dust with compressed air. Re-lubricate with graphite.

Worn Out Locks

Daily use wears down pins and tumblers:

  • Key hard to insert or turn
  • Lock feels loose
  • Key wiggles excessively

Solution: Usually needs rekeying or replacement depending on wear level.
