Many duplexes and fourplexes share locks across units. Landlords often ask us to rekey between tenants or set up keyed-alike systems.
What happens when you call
Our technicians carry identification and will tell you their name when they arrive.

Payment is taken once the work is done and you're happy with it. Ask which methods we accept when you call.
Security tips
- Keep garage-to-house doors locked; they're often overlooked.
- A sticking lock usually needs dry lubricant like graphite, not oil, which collects grit.
- If you lose a key with your address on it, rekey that day.
- Keypad locks let you share a code with a dog walker or cleaner and delete it later.
