Lockouts, Rekeying & Lock Changes in Fairfax, VA

Home Lockout Service

Locked out of your house? We’ll get you back in quickly using non-destructive entry methods whenever possible, so you don’t end up paying for a new door or frame. Before opening any home, we confirm that you live there—it protects you as much as it protects us.

Lock Rekeying After a Move

When you move into a new home, you have no idea how many copies of the old keys are still out there. Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing locks so old keys stop working—usually for less than replacing the hardware. We can also key every exterior door to a single key, so you carry one key instead of a ring full.

Lock Changes and Deadbolt Upgrades

Worn, sticking, or damaged locks should be replaced, not tolerated. We install new knobs, levers, and deadbolts, and we can upgrade you to high-security hardware that resists picking, bumping, and forced entry. If you’re not sure which option fits, we’ll explain the trade-offs and give you the price upfront.

Smart Locks and Keyless Entry

Keypad and smart locks let you skip the keys, grant access to family or a dog walker, and see who comes and goes. We install and set up smart locks and keyless entry systems and make sure the deadbolt still throws fully and aligns with the strike plate.

Home Security Tips From Our Fairfax Locksmiths

  • Rekey after every move or lost key. It’s the simplest way to control who can get in.
  • Use longer strike-plate screws. Three-inch screws that reach the wall stud make doors much harder to kick in.
  • Don’t hide a key outside. A keypad lock or a spare with a trusted neighbor is safer than a rock or doormat.
  • Lock sliding doors and gates too. They are common entry points that are easy to overlook.

Residential Locksmith FAQs

Should I rekey or replace my locks?

If your locks work well and you’re happy with how they look, rekeying is usually the more affordable choice. If they’re worn, damaged, or you want better security or a smart lock, replacement makes more sense.

Can you make all my doors work with one key?

In most cases, yes—as long as the locks share a compatible keyway. We’ll check your hardware and let you know on the spot.

Do you work with landlords and property managers?

Yes. Our residential locksmith Fairfax, VA team rekeys rental units between tenants and can set up master key systems for multi-unit buildings. For larger properties, see our commercial locksmith services.
