Home Lockout Service in Baltimore
Locked out with the keys on the kitchen counter, or a key that snapped in the lock? We open residential doors using non-destructive methods whenever possible, so you’re not left paying for a new door or frame. If a lock is worn or damaged, we can repair or replace it on the spot so you can lock up again before we leave. When you call, let us know whether the door has a deadbolt, a knob lock or both – it helps us bring the right tools.
Lock Rekey in Baltimore: New Keys Without New Locks
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock cylinder so old keys stop working and a new key takes over. It’s usually the fastest, most affordable way to take back control of who can get into your home. We recommend rekeying when you:
- Move into a new house, condo or apartment
- Lose a key or have one stolen
- Have a roommate, tenant or contractor move out
- Want one key to open the front, back and basement doors
Lock Change and Deadbolt Installation
When a lock is worn out, damaged in a break-in, or simply too weak for the door it protects, a lock change is the better choice. We install and service residential locks from trusted brands like Kwikset, Schlage, Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, and can recommend a higher-grade deadbolt, reinforced strike plate or longer screws to help a door resist forced entry. For exterior doors, look for a deadbolt rated Grade 1 or Grade 2 under the ANSI/BHMA standards.
Smart Locks and Keyless Entry
Keypad and smart locks let you skip the spare key under the mat, give temporary codes to dog walkers or cleaners, and check your door from your phone. We help you choose a model that fits your door and install it correctly, so the deadbolt throws fully and the lock stays reliable.
Security for Baltimore Rowhouses and Older Homes
Many Baltimore homes have original doors, mortise locks and rear or basement entrances that face an alley. These doors often need a different approach than a new suburban build. We repair and rekey older mortise hardware, upgrade weak back-door locks, and secure sliding patio doors and basement entries so every way into your home gets the same attention as the front door.
Lock Services for Landlords and Rental Properties
Baltimore has a large rental market, and every tenant turnover is a security risk if the old keys still work. We help landlords and property managers rekey units between tenants, set up simple key systems for multi-unit rowhouses, replace damaged locks after move-out, and install keypad locks that make changing access as easy as changing a code. Scheduling ahead is easy, and we can coordinate with you if the unit is vacant.
