One number for the job, agreed before anyone is sent.

3

Your ID is checked

Photo ID and proof you live there, checked before the door is opened.

4

The job itself

Rekeyed or replaced with the right hardware, then every new key is tested.

Your door, your call

What you decide, every step

Who can ask

The owner, a tenant with the landlord's agreement, or a property manager with ID.

What you approve

A rekey stays a rekey. A full lock change only if you ask for it.

Before you call

Questions about the visit

What do I need to tell you when I call?

Your address, which doors or locks you want changed, and whether you want a rekey or a full lock change.

Can the price change after I hear it?

Not for the job you described. If the door needs more once we are there, you hear the new price first.

Do I have to be home for the whole visit?

Yes, or someone who can show ID with your address. We check ID before the door is opened.

One call: the price, then every step above.

Open daily 7am-10:30pm.
