Residential Locksmith Service in Anaheim, CA

Home lock and key work we arrange

A home locksmith call usually falls into one of three groups: getting you back inside, changing who has access, or making the doors harder to defeat. The dispatcher asks a few questions about the door and lock so the locksmith who comes out brings the right parts.

• House and apartment lockouts – non-destructive entry where the lock allows it.
• Rekeying – the old keys stop working and you get a new set; ideal after moving or losing a key.
• Lock change and new installs – deadbolts, knob and lever sets, mailbox and garage door locks.
• Lock repair – sticking, loose or worn cylinders and latches.
• Spare keys and master key setups – one key for several doors where the hardware allows it.
• Peepholes, door hardware and digital locks – fitted and adjusted on site.
• Eviction lock changes – for property owners once the legal process allows it.

Choosing a deadbolt for your front door

Door hardware in the US is graded under the ANSI/BHMA standard. Grade 1 is the toughest residential and light-commercial rating and is a sensible choice for exterior doors such as the front door and the door from the garage. Grade 2 is common on good-quality residential locks, and Grade 3 suits interior doors where security matters less. A locksmith can tell you which grade your current locks carry and whether an upgrade, rekey or simple adjustment makes more sense.

Rekey or replace?

If your locks work well and you only want to stop old keys from opening them, rekeying is usually the cheaper route because the existing hardware stays in place. Replacement makes sense when a lock is damaged, worn out, a low grade for an exterior door, or when you want a different style such as a keypad deadbolt.

How pricing works

Every visit starts with the published $29 service call fee, then labor and any hardware you choose. See the price list for starting prices and check the current coupons – there is a move-in special and a rekey offer.
