Quality locks, fitted to your door

A new lock only protects you if it’s installed correctly. We fit the strike, reinforce where needed and adjust alignment so your deadbolt throws fully every time.

Signs it's time for new locks

If any of these sound familiar, give us a call.

The key sticks or won't turn

Worn pins and springs make locks hard to use and easier to defeat.

You see damage or rust

Bent, cracked or corroded hardware should be replaced, not repaired.

After a break-in attempt

Upgrade to stronger deadbolts and reinforced strikes.

You're renovating

Match new hardware finishes to your updated doors.

Move to high-security or grade-rated locks for exterior doors.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ran into an unexpected issue on my vacant listing in Indian Trail, and Ted was a lifesaver! The batteries died to a smart lock, and we could not get into the home. I called Ted and within an hour he had a new set of keys made… problem solved! He was very responsive and professional and helped me avoid having the buyers get locked out of the house on closing day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The locksmith was able to set up an appointment shortly after I called to re-key several keys in my house. He was very cordial; the work was done promptly and at a fair price. Would recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed doors re-keyed and a keyless entry lock installed.  When scheduling service, Teddy advised me of the type of keyless system I would need (to ensure compatibility with my existing locks).  Who knew that was a thing?!  Teddy came the next morning for service and he also made sure I knew how to use my new keyless system.  He was professional, punctual, and reasonably priced.  I wish there were more stars to give him!
