🔐 What We Help With
Locked out, lost your keys, or need a quick fix? We come to you—fast, damage-free, and dealership-free.
Home Lockouts
Quick, non-destructive entry to get you back inside safely without damaging your door.
- Lost or forgot your house keys?
- Stepped out and got locked out?
- Key broke off in the lock?
- Locked out late at night or in bad weather?
- Tenant or family member locked out?
Case Example:
A homeowner in Clifton stepped outside to grab the mail and the wind locked the door behind her—no phone, no keys, and freezing temps. James arrived in 35 minutes and had the door open in seconds without causing any damage.
Lock Rekeying & Key Replacements
Change who has access to your home without replacing your entire locks.
- Just moved into a new house?
- Lost keys and don’t know who has them?
- Changing access after a breakup or roommate moves out?
- Need one key to work on all doors?
- Renters coming and going?
Case Example:
A couple who just bought a home in Montclair wanted peace of mind after closing. We rekeyed all the exterior locks in under an hour, ensuring old keys no longer worked and set them up with a single key that worked on every door.
Lock Installations & Repairs
Ensure every door in your home works properly and stays secure.
- Damaged deadbolt or door knob?
- Lock won’t turn or sticks?
- Upgrading to newer hardware?
- Doors not closing or latching correctly?
- New locks needed for added doors or entry points?
Case Example:
A family in Paramus was having trouble with multiple doors not latching properly, making it hard to lock up at night. We repaired two misaligned frames, replaced one failing deadbolt, and upgraded the front door hardware—all in one visit.
Smart Lock Installations
Keyless entry systems installed and set up for secure, modern access.
- Want to lock/unlock your door from your phone?
- Need key codes for guests or deliveries?
- Replacing broken keypads?
- Kids losing physical keys?
- Want to track who comes and goes?
Case Example:
A busy family in Ridgewood wanted to stop hiding spare keys under the mat. James installed a smart lock with app access and unique codes for their kids, dog walker, and house cleaner—plus alerts so they always know who’s coming and going.
High-Security Lock Upgrades
Stronger, pick-resistant locks for next-level protection.
- Concerned about break-ins?
- Want bump-proof, drill-resistant locks?
- Need better security for valuables inside?
- Upgrading from cheap builder-grade locks?
- Live in a high-traffic or shared building?
Case Example:
After a break-in two doors down, a homeowner in Jersey City called us for an upgrade. We replaced all exterior locks with high-security, bump-proof deadbolts and reinforced the door frames—giving the client peace of mind and serious protection.
Home Owner Security Checks
A full walkthrough to spot weak points and recommend improvements.
- Unsure how secure your entry points are?
- Just had a neighbor get burglarized?
- Need advice on deadbolts, latches, or strike plates?
- Want to secure sliding doors or basement entries?
- Planning a vacation and want peace of mind?
Case Example:
A couple in Nutley was heading out of town for two weeks and wanted to make sure their home was secure. James did a full walkthrough, reinforced two weak door frames, added locks to the basement windows, and installed a smart deadbolt on the front door—all in one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Honest Answers to Your Most Important Locksmith Questions.
Can you get me back inside without damaging my door?
Yes—non-destructive entry is our standard. We won’t drill unless absolutely necessary.
I just bought a house—should I rekey the locks?
Definitely. You never know who might still have keys. Rekeying is a quick and affordable way to secure your home.
Can you install smart locks I bought online?
Yes, we can install and configure most smart locks and help you set up access codes or mobile control.
My lock feels loose or hard to turn—should I replace it?
Not always. We can often repair or adjust it to restore smooth function without a full replacement.
Do you offer emergency service at night or on weekends?
Yes. We handle residential emergencies 7 days a week—especially lockouts or urgent rekeys.
What’s the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working. It’s more affordable than a full replacement and just as secure.
Do you install high-security locks for homes?
Yes. We carry bump-proof, pick-resistant, and drill-resistant locks that offer next-level protection.
