Our Residential Locksmith Services
Emergency Home Lockouts
There’s never a “good time” to be locked out of your home. Whether it’s late at night after work or early Sunday morning in your pajamas, a home lockout is stressful. Our emergency locksmith team responds within 30 minutes anywhere in Chicago with the tools and expertise to get you back inside quickly without damaging your door or lock mechanism.
What to expect during a home lockout service:
- Quick response time (typically under 30 minutes)
- Professional assessment of the lock
- Non-destructive entry whenever possible
- Complete cleanup after service
- Optional security check of other entry points
“Mark arrived within 20 minutes after I called. I was locked out with groceries melting in the car. He opened my door in less than 2 minutes without a scratch on my new deadbolt. Worth every penny!” – Sarah K., Lincoln Park
Lock Repair & Replacement
Locks wear out over time. You might notice your key sticking, the lock turning roughly, or needing to jiggle the key to make it work. These are warning signs that your lock mechanism is failing – and it’s always better to address these issues before you end up locked out or with a broken key in the lock.
Our residential lock repair services include:
- Fixing jammed or sticky locks
- Repairing broken deadbolts
- Addressing misaligned locks
- Lubricating and maintaining lock mechanisms
- Complete lock replacement when repair isn’t feasible
We work with all major residential lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, and Medeco.
Rekeying Services
Recently moved into a new home? Had a roommate move out? Lost a set of keys? Instead of replacing all your locks, rekeying is often a more cost-effective solution that changes the internal pins in your existing locks so old keys no longer work.
Our professional rekeying service includes:
- Removing and disassembling the lock cylinder
- Replacing the internal pins to match a new key
- Reassembling and testing the lock
- Providing new keys for all household members
- Option to key all your home’s locks alike for convenience
Home Security Upgrades
Home break-ins are unfortunately common in Chicago, with over 12,000 residential burglaries reported annually. The good news? Most burglars are opportunistic and will skip homes with quality security measures.
Our security upgrade options include:
High-Security Deadbolts
The deadbolt is your door’s main defense. Standard builder-grade deadbolts can be compromised in seconds. Our high-security options feature:
- Hardened steel bolts that extend deeper into the door frame
- Anti-drill plates to prevent destruction
- Bump and pick resistant cylinders
- Reinforced strike plates with 3″ screws into the door frame
Smart Lock Installation
Enhance convenience and security with keyless entry options:
- Keypad entry systems
- Smartphone-controlled locks
- Fingerprint recognition locks
- Integration with home security systems
- Remote locking/unlocking capabilities
Home Security Assessments
Not sure where your home’s weak points are? Our 27-point security assessment examines:
- All entry doors and frames
- Window locks and security
- Sliding door vulnerabilities
- Garage security measures
- Lighting and landscape security factors
You’ll receive a detailed report with prioritized recommendations to improve your home’s security within your budget.
Key Duplication & Creation
Need extra keys for family members? Our mobile service brings the key shop to your door with:
- Precision key cutting equipment
- High-quality key blanks for all common residential locks
- Ability to duplicate restricted keyways (with proper authorization)
- Creation of spare emergency keys
For added convenience, we recommend keeping a spare key in our secure locksmith vault rather than hiding keys around your property (which burglars know to look for).
