Residential Locksmith in Sun City, AZ

Rekey or replace?

If your locks work well and you simply want old keys to stop working, rekeying is usually the lower-cost choice: the technician changes the pins inside the cylinder so a new key operates it. Replacement makes more sense when a lock is worn, damaged or corroded, or when you want a higher-security, keypad or smart lock. We look at your hardware and explain both options before you decide.

Many households like having every exterior door on one key. When the locks share a compatible keyway, we can rekey them to match so one key opens the front door, side door and garage entry. Read more in our guide to rekeying when you move.

After a break-in attempt

Scratches around the keyhole, a latch that no longer lines up or a door that won't close cleanly can all mean a lock has been tampered with. A damaged lock may still turn while giving far less protection. We can repair or replace the hardware, reinforce the strike plate and tell you honestly whether an upgraded deadbolt is worth it for your door.

If anything was taken, report it to law enforcement first: the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office covers Sun City and Sun City West, and Surprise has its own police department. Call 911 if you think someone is still inside.

Smart locks and keypads

Keypad and smart locks end the hunt for keys, let you give family or caregivers their own code, and can lock themselves automatically. They also bring batteries, app updates and Wi-Fi to think about. We help you choose a model that suits your door and routine, install it, show you how to change codes, and make sure you keep a working key backup.
