When It Is Time for New Locks
Locks wear out. Pins wear down, springs weaken and the bolt starts to drag. Fernley’s dry, dusty wind does not help, and grit can build up inside a cylinder over the years. A lock that needs jiggling today is the one that strands you next month.
A lock change is the right call when:
- The lock is stiff, sticks or the key is hard to turn.
- The door was forced or the lock is damaged.
- You want a stronger deadbolt on an exterior door.
- You want a keypad or smart lock so you can skip keys.
- You are updating the look of your doors with matching hardware.
If your locks work fine and you only need old keys to stop working, you may not need new hardware at all. You can rekey instead of replacing, which is usually cheaper. Our residential locksmith page covers all of the home options.
Rekey or replace?
- Lock works well, keys are the issue: rekey
- Lock is worn, stiff or damaged: replace
- Want keypad or smart entry: replace
- Want one key for every door: often a rekey

How a Lock Change Visit Works
01
Plan the job
We talk through the doors, the lock style and whether you are supplying hardware.
02
Check the door
We check the door, bore holes and strike plate so the new lock fits and latches cleanly.
03
Install the lock
Old hardware comes out, new hardware goes in, and the strike is adjusted if needed.
04
Test and set up
We test every key and, for smart locks, help set up codes before we leave.
Landlords, Rentals and Small Businesses
Rental owners often change or rekey locks between tenants. We can work around your turnover schedule and set several units up quickly. For storefronts, offices and warehouses, including panic bars and commercial-grade hardware, see our commercial locksmith page.
What Changes the Price of a Lock Change
The biggest factor is the hardware itself. A basic knob lock costs much less than a smart deadbolt. The price also depends on how many doors we work on, whether the door needs adjusting so the lock fits, whether you supply the locks, and how far we travel. You will get a quote before we start. See our lock change and locksmith prices page for more.
Tips for Choosing a New Lock
The best lock for your door depends on how you use it. A few things to think about before you buy:
- Look for a solid deadbolt on exterior doors. A knob lock alone is easy to defeat. A deadbolt with a long throw and a sturdy strike plate is much stronger.
- Check the door thickness and backset before buying, especially for smart locks.
- Think about who needs access. Keypads let family, sitters or contractors in with a code you can change.
- Match the finish across the front door, back door and garage entry for a clean look.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a lock I bought myself?
Yes. Tell us the brand and model when you call so we can check it suits your door. If it does not fit, we will explain the options.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes, we install keypad and smart locks and can help you set up codes. Some smart locks need a particular door thickness or a nearby Wi-Fi signal.
Can new locks use the same key as my other doors?
Often, yes. New locks can usually be keyed to match your existing key or each other, so one key opens every door.
Single or double-cylinder deadbolt: which should I get?
A single-cylinder deadbolt has a thumb turn inside, which is quicker to get out in an emergency. A double-cylinder needs a key on both sides. We can explain the trade-offs for your door.
