Residential locksmith
in Dallas–Fort Worth
21 years in the trade opening homes. We come to your door and explain what it needs before touching it — nothing gets broken.
A walk through your home
Every entry has its own lock and its own risk. This is the order we check them in.
01 · Entry
The door you use every day
Damage-free entry if you're locked out, and a commercial-grade deadbolt with frame reinforcement if the door gives to a push. It ends up closing with one finger, not a shoulder.
Lockout · New deadbolt · Frame reinforcement
02 · Interior
Who else has a copy
You moved in, a lease ended, or someone left with a key. We rekey the locks you already have and the old keys stop working — it costs less than replacing them and the result is the same.
Rekey · One key for every lock
03 · Keyless
Smart locks you'll actually use
Keypad, fingerprint or app. We install it, set up each family member's code and teach you to change them before we leave. If the battery ever dies, the physical key still gets you in.
Installation · Setup · Key backup
04 · Back and outside
The ones nobody wants to deal with
Patio sliding door, windows, gate, mailbox and the garden shed. These are the cheap locks intruders go through — and the ones that stick worst in Texas heat.

Before you pay
Rekey or new lock?
Almost nobody needs to replace every lock. Here's the difference, plainly.
The most common
Rekeying
The pins inside your existing lock are reset. Every old key stops working.
- When it makes sense
- The lock works fine
- Typical time
- 20–40 min
- Relative cost
- The lowest
When it's due
New lock
The full assembly is replaced: cylinder, deadbolt and sometimes the strike. It raises the door's security grade.
- When it makes sense
- It's worn or was forced
- Typical time
- 45–90 min
- Relative cost
- Higher, with hardware
We tell you which of the two you need before booking the visit.
What neighbors ask
Another question? Ask in the chat →- Do you ask for ID?
- Yes. To open a home we ask for ID or a document linking you to the address. That's your own protection.
- Do you work nights?
- Yes, 24 hours. Night hours have a different rate, and you see it in the chat before accepting.
- I'm a renter — can you rekey it?
- Yes, with the owner's or property manager's authorization. We can leave you a sealed copy to hand over.
- One key for the whole house?
- Yes, if the locks are compatible. We leave entry, patio and garage on the same key and confirm it when we inspect them.
