Should I rekey or replace my locks when I move into a new home?

This is one of the most common questions new homeowners ask, and the answer depends on the condition of your existing hardware. Rekey locks when the deadbolts and knobs are in good shape and you simply want to make sure the previous owner’s keys no longer work. During a rekey, the lock itself stays on your door while the internal pins are adjusted so old keys are useless and only your new keys operate the lock. A full house can typically be rekeyed in under two hours, and it keeps your current door hardware and appearance intact while costing less than full replacement. Rekeying also supports master key systems for larger properties and can consolidate multiple different locks to a single key. Full details are on the Rekey Locks page. If your locks are old, worn out, damaged, or you’ve experienced a break-in, a complete home lock change with new hardware is the better choice — see the Lock Change page for the difference between changing and rekeying and to get a free consultation.

How much does it cost to rekey a house?

Every job comes with transparent, upfront pricing and no hidden fees, so you’ll know the cost before any work begins. Rekeying is generally more affordable than replacing locks outright since it reuses your existing hardware, and most homes can be fully rekeyed in under two hours.

Can a locksmith install a new deadbolt or upgrade my door locks?

Yes. A Residential Locksmith can install deadbolts and security hardware from trusted manufacturers, including single and double-cylinder deadbolts and high-security upgrades for homeowners wanting stronger protection after a nearby break-in or simply for peace of mind. Technicians also repair deadbolts that are difficult to turn, jammed, misaligned, or have worn cylinders and loose strike plates. Full installation and repair details are covered on the Deadbolt Install & Repairs page. For homeowners who want smartphone-controlled smart locks with temporary access codes for guests and contractors, smart locks are also installed and programmed as part of a home security upgrade. Broader lock and hardware work, including installations across all major lock brands, is detailed on the Lock Repair & Installation and Security Lock Installation pages.

How often should homeowners change their locks?

As a general rule, change or rekey your locks whenever you move into a new home, lose a key, go through a change in household occupants, or notice hardware that’s old, worn, sticking, or otherwise unreliable. Regular home lock changes and rekeys are one of the simplest, most affordable ways to maintain home security locks and control exactly who has access to your property. If it’s time for an upgrade rather than a repair, the House Locksmiths team can also secure garage entries and sliding glass doors alongside your primary entry points.

Can a locksmith fix a loose or broken door knob?

Yes, door knob and lever hardware issues are one of the most common residential calls received. Loose knobs, faulty latching mechanisms, sticky locks, and worn interior or exterior hardware can usually be fixed in a single visit. Technicians handle entry door knob installation with a security check, interior door hardware repair, lever handle upgrades, and can recommend a deadbolt upgrade if your entry door needs additional protection. See the Door Knob Install & Repairs page for more on how smooth, secure operation is restored to every door in your home.

Do you install mailbox locks?

Yes. Mailbox locks take a beating from weather and daily use, which leads to lost keys, stuck mechanisms, and rusted cylinders over time. New mailbox locks are installed, broken or worn units are replaced, jammed mechanisms are repaired, broken keys are removed, and duplicate keys are cut for homeowners, apartment buildings, and property managers throughout Fayetteville, NC. Installations meet USPS compliance standards for apartment mailbox clusters. Visit the Mailbox Lock page for the full list of mailbox lock services.
