Lock replacement means removing the existing lock and installing new hardware. It is the right choice when a lock is worn out or damaged, when you want a sturdier deadbolt or a different style, or when rekeying is not practical. We talk through the options with you and fit hardware that suits the door.

Authorization and safety

Replacing a lock changes who controls access, so we ask for proof that you own the property or manage it. Renters usually need written approval from the landlord or property manager.

Good to know

Some doors need extra preparation or repair before a new lock fits properly.
Specialty, high-security, or custom hardware may have to be ordered.
A new lock cannot make up for a weak door or frame; if we see a problem, we will point it out.

Common questions

Should I rekey or replace?

If the lock works well and you only need to change the key, rekeying is usually enough. If the lock is worn, damaged, or sticking, or you want different hardware, replacement is the better fit.

Can I buy my own lock and have it installed?

In most cases, yes. Keep the hardware and packaging together, and share the brand and model when you get in touch so we can confirm it suits your door.

What does a lock grade mean?

Many residential locks carry an ANSI/BHMA grade from 1 to 3 that reflects durability and strength testing, with Grade 1 the most demanding. It is one useful factor when choosing hardware, alongside the door itself and how the lock is installed.
