Residential Locksmith Services - Keeping Your Home Safe

Your home should be your sanctuary. From basic lock changes to advanced solutions like Kwikset smart locks, our residential services are designed to ensure you sleep soundly knowing your house is secure.

Our Residential Services Include:

Rekeying Locks: Just moved in or lost a key? Rekeying is an affordable way to reset your locks without replacing them entirely. One recent client in Midtown Palo Alto had a tenant move out and wanted the peace of mind that their locks were exclusive. We rekeyed all their door locks in under an hour.
Lock Changes: Sometimes, a lock is just too old or damaged to save. We can swap it out for a fresh, high-security option, including Schlage or Kwikset models.
Emergency Lockout Assistance: Locked out of the house at midnight? Don't worry. We'll get you back inside quickly and safely. One Crescent Park homeowner told us, "You guys saved me after I left my keys inside with the oven running"!
