What does a residential locksmith do?

Your front door lock does more work than almost any other hardware in the house. We install, repair, and rekey locks in houses, rowhouses, townhomes, condos, and apartments.

  • Rekey locks

    Keep your existing hardware but make every key you don't hold useless. Common after a move or a lost key.

  • Lock change and deadbolt installation

    Grade 1 deadbolts and lever sets installed cleanly, keyed to your existing keys where possible.

  • High-security locks

    Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinders with restricted keys that cannot be copied without authorization.

  • Rowhouse lock repair

    Mortise locks and rim cylinders common in Baltimore rowhouses, repaired or rekeyed when they are worth keeping.

  • Landlord rekeys and master keys

    Rekeys between tenants, and master key systems so one landlord key opens every unit.

  • Smart lock installation

    Keypad and app-connected locks installed and set up before we leave.

  • House lockouts

    Back inside without unnecessary damage to the door or frame.

  • Garage and mailbox locks

    Garage side and entry doors, manual garage door locks, and mailbox locks installed, replaced, or rekeyed.

Should you rekey or replace your locks?

Rekey when the lock is sound and you only need old keys to stop working. Replace when it is damaged, worn, or low-security, or you want a smart lock.

Home lock questions.

Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving in?

Rekeying is usually the better first move. It keeps your existing hardware but makes every old key useless. We'll tell you honestly if a lock is worn or low-security enough to replace.

Can you key every door in my house to one key?

Yes. Keying everything to a single key is one of our most common residential requests, done during a rekey or a new installation.

Do you work on old rowhouse mortise locks?

Yes. We repair, rekey, or replace mortise locks and rim cylinders, keeping the look of an older door when the lock can be saved.

Do you install smart locks?

Yes. We install keypad and app-connected locks and set them up, as well as standard mechanical deadbolts.

Do you rekey rental properties between tenants?

Yes, for landlords and property managers across Baltimore City and the county, including master key systems for multiple units.

Can you install high-security locks?

Yes. We install high-security cylinders, including Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, whose keys cannot be copied without authorization.
