Our family has been solving lock problems since the late 1800s. We’re not newcomers trying to figure things out as we go.

You get residential rekeying when you move into a new home or need to control access. We handle deadbolt installation for enhanced security, plus door knob and lever replacements.
Electronic locks are increasingly popular in Springfield neighborhoods, especially for busy families who want keyless convenience. We install and service smart locks while maintaining the backup key option.
Mailbox locks and mortise locks require specialized knowledge that comes from decades of experience. We stock the parts and have the expertise to service locks that other companies might tell you to replace entirely.
Rekeying typically costs $30-$70 per lock, depending on the type and complexity. For a standard three-door house in Springfield, you’re looking at $150-$250 total.
This is significantly less expensive than replacing all your locks, which can run $200-$400 per door when you factor in hardware costs. Rekeying gives you the security of new keys while keeping your existing hardware.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so there are no surprises. Most rekeying jobs take 10-40 minutes per lock, and we can usually handle your entire home in one visit.
Rekeying is usually the smarter choice when you move into a new home in Springfield. Your existing locks are probably fine – you just need to make sure previous owners, contractors, or real estate agents can’t get in.
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys won’t work, but keeps your current hardware. This is faster and more affordable than full replacement.
Replace locks only if they’re damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade to electronic locks or higher security hardware. We can assess your current locks and recommend the most cost-effective approach for your situation.
Yes, we handle emergency lockouts for Springfield residents. Being locked out when you have somewhere to be is stressful, and we understand the urgency.
We can open your door without damaging your lock or door frame in most cases. Our goal is to get you back inside quickly while preserving your existing hardware.
For future peace of mind, consider having a spare key made or upgrading to an electronic lock with backup access options. We can discuss these solutions while we’re there for your lockout.
A deadbolt provides significantly more security than a standard door knob lock. The bolt extends deeper into the door frame and can’t be easily forced or manipulated like spring-loaded locks.
Most Springfield homeowners benefit from having both a door knob lock and a deadbolt on exterior doors. The knob handles everyday convenience, while the deadbolt provides the real security.
We recommend Grade 1 deadbolts for maximum security, especially on front doors. These meet the highest industry standards and provide the best protection against forced entry attempts.
In most cases, yes. Electronic locks can be installed on older doors in Springfield homes, but sometimes modifications are needed to accommodate the new hardware.
The door preparation might need to be enlarged or adjusted, especially if you’re upgrading from a basic knob to a full electronic deadbolt system. We assess your door and frame to determine what’s required.
Many electronic locks are designed to fit standard door preparations, making installation straightforward. We ensure proper fit and function, plus show you how to program and maintain your new electronic lock.
Quality residential locks can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, but this depends on usage, weather exposure, and the lock’s quality.
Signs it’s time for replacement include difficulty turning keys, visible wear on the hardware, or locks that don’t engage properly. Sometimes cleaning and lubrication can extend a lock’s life significantly.
We use factory OEM parts and quality brands that hold up well in Pennsylvania weather. Regular maintenance every few years – cleaning, lubrication, and minor adjustments – keeps locks functioning smoothly for their full lifespan.
