When should you change your locks?

One of the simplest and most effective ways of protecting your property is to replace your locks. Some only think about it once there is a problem, but there are some circumstances in which replacing the lock is the obvious thing to do:

After moving into a new home: You can never be certain who else might still hold a copy of the old keys. A fresh lock replacement gives you the assurance that you’re the only key holder.

Following a break-in or lost keys: If your keys are missing or your lock has been compromised, changing it right away restores your security for peace of mind.

When tenants move out: For landlords and property managers, a lock change between tenants helps protect your property and future renters.

Upgrading to high-security or smart locks: If your existing locks are too old or simple, replacing them with new strong security or smart locks can significantly enhance security.

Worn-out or unstable locks: Locks deteriorate with age, becoming more difficult to operate and more vulnerable to breaking. A lock replacement ensures that your doors continue to function properly and securely.

We move quickly in all of these situations. Whether you’re booking an upgrade or responding to an urgent security problem, we provide same-day service so that you don’t have to wait to feel secure at home or at your business.

Residential & commercial lock change services

Residential lock changes

Your home is always meant to be a place where you’re safe. We provide professional lock replacement for front doors, rear doors, garage doors, and even interior doors like bedrooms or basements. 

For example, if you’ve just moved into a new home in Ardmore, we can change all of the locks in the home on the same day so you don’t have to worry about old keys.. 

Families often upgrade to stronger deadbolts for front doors and back doors, or switch over to smart locks for ease of use and more control. Whatever you need, we get your home secure and your locks easy to use.

Commercial lock changes

Businesses have unique security issues beyond standard locks. We provide lock change service for offices, storefronts, restaurants, rental properties, and warehouses. 

For example, if a business near King of Prussia Mall needs an urgent lock change after an employee leaves, we can stop by on the same day to keep the business secure. 

Landlords also call us when tenants leave the property, so new tenants can have exclusive use. We also install high-security office locks and access control systems for buildings that require multiple levels of security.

Our lock change process

We make lock changes simple, quick, and convenient. Our step-by-step process ensures that your new locks are installed correctly and working perfectly:

Assessment: We take a look at your current locks and doors, then recommend the best options based on your needs and budget.

Choosing the lock: You can supply your own lock, or we can provide quality choices like deadbolts, keypad locks, and smart locks. We handle the best brands out there.

Professional removal: We take out the old lock cautiously without giving any damage to your hardware or door. 

Installation: Install the new lock carefully for having a smooth operation and good security. 

Testing: We test the keys or the smart features, check if the lock is aligned properly, and ensure that everything is functioning as it should be.

We try to do it quickly with the best care. Most home locks are changed in under 30 minutes, and commercial work is accomplished with as little disruption to your business as possible.

Lock replacement vs. rekeying

Most people wonder whether to replace their locks or simply rekey them. Both provide improved security but serve different purposes:

Lock replacement: The entire lock and hardware are replaced. This is the ideal choice if your locks are outdated, deteriorated, or you require upgrading to more secure or smart locks.

Rekeying: The lock is not removed, but the key mechanism inside is changed so that the old keys no longer work. This is generally cheaper and is the preferred choice if your locks themselves are in good condition.

If you’re unsure as to which one is right for you, our locksmiths will guide you through the decision. There are times when it’s best to know when rekeying is the better option and when a full lock replacement is better for security in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lock Changes

How long does it take to change a lock?

Most standard lock changes are done in 20–40 minutes. It will take longer if you are having a high-security lock or smart lock upgrade because we don’t rush through programming or setting up the new system. We need to get the job done fast but also get everything installed correctly.

You have both choices. Many customers bring their own locks, especially if they’ve already chosen a style or brand. We also carry a wide selection of quality locks, including deadbolts, keypad locks, and smart locks from trusted brands like Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale. Choosing our supplied hardware typically includes both manufacturer and workmanship warranty.

It depends on your situation. Rekeying is cheaper and works well if you have good locks already but need to stop old keys from working. Replacing the lock is ideal if you have old, broken, or if you’re switching to new or stronger locks. You can learn when rekeying will be a better option on our website, or simply ask our locksmith at the time of your appointment.

Yes. Smart locks are becoming increasingly popular for homeowners and landlords. We handle installation, setup, and programming, whether that involves creating digital entry codes or synching your lock with a mobile app. If you’re shopping for a smart lock, we can recommend good brands that fit your door and security needs.

The price depends on the type of lock and difficulty of installation. Standard home lock replacements are very affordable, but electronic or high-security locks may cost more. We always provide an upfront, free quote before we start work so there are no unexpected costs.
