Real reviews from Raleigh homeowners, drivers, and businesses we have helped.
“I left my keys in my car late at night in Raleigh. I called and they came out and got me in with no damage at all. Really good help when I needed it.”
“David was a lifesaver! I locked myself out and he came over, was super friendly, explained what he was doing, and got me back in without any damage.”
“Great service from David! He showed up on time, was very professional, and got the job done. He made the whole process stress-free, and the price was fair too.”
“Great prices and great work. You won't be disappointed. I will definitely use them again if I need help.”
We figure out whether the lock, the door, or the strike is the real problem, because forcing a stiff lock usually just makes it worse.
We talk through repair versus replacement honestly, and we do not push a new lock when a service or a rekey will do the job.
You get the price before the work, and once we are done the lock turns smoothly and the door latches on the first try.
Most of the calls we take for lock installation fall into a handful of familiar shapes. Here are a few we see often around Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle:
A back door was kicked at some point and the strike never seated right again.
A buyer closes on a place near Oakwood and wants the locks rekeyed rather than guessing who still has a key.
A worn cylinder turns rough and grabs halfway, so it gets serviced before it fails for good.
A homeowner wants the front, back, and garage-entry doors all turning on one key.
If we spot something else worth knowing about, a loose hinge, a strike that is about to give, a door that is dropping, we will mention it. You decide what to do about it.
We show up in a marked vehicle stocked for the work, so most jobs are handled on site in one visit instead of a parts run and a second appointment.
We keep the work area tidy, clean up after a drill or a hardware swap, and leave your door looking like we were never there apart from the lock working better.
What a job costs comes down to a few honest things, and we would rather explain them than hide behind a vague number.
How many doors or locks are involved changes the math. Keying several locks alike in one visit usually works out better per door than calling us back for one lock at a time.
The condition of the door and frame plays a part. A lock that fails because the door has dropped or the strike is chewed up needs that underlying issue fixed, not just the lock swapped.
The type of lock or hardware matters. A basic cylinder is one thing; a high-security or restricted system is another, and the parts cost more because they do more.
Where you are and when you call factors in too, and we will give you an honest arrival window for your spot before anyone is committed to anything.
We service and install knob and lever sets, deadbolts, mortise locks, and high-security cylinders, and we can rekey most of them so old keys stop working without the cost of all-new hardware.
If you are not sure what you have or what you need, that is normal. Tell us what the door is doing, or send a photo, and we will point you the right way before anyone commits to anything.
A door is a system. The lock, the bolt, the strike, and the frame all work together, so upgrading the hardware and reinforcing the strike makes the whole door stronger. The upgrades with the biggest impact are a quality deadbolt, a reinforced strike plate fastened with long screws into the wall framing, and a solid handleset.
The strike is often the weak point. Short screws that only reach the thin door jamb can tear out under a hard kick, even when the deadbolt itself holds. Long screws driven through a solid plate into the framing behind the jamb anchor the bolt to the structure of the house, which greatly increases how much force the door can take before it gives.
We install complete entry hardware: handlesets, deadbolts, bolts, strikes, and reinforcements. Each bolt and latch is fitted accurately so it seats fully and operates smoothly, and every upgrade is matched to your door rather than forced onto it. If you are replacing a handleset and deadbolt at the same time, we fit both in one visit so the set looks and works as a pair.
The result is a door that resists forced entry and still opens smoothly every day.
We are a mobile locksmith based in Raleigh, which means the work happens where you are. Around the city we get out to Five Points, Glenwood South, Brier Creek, and ITB neighborhoods regularly, and we cover the wider Triangle including Apex, Cary, Fuquay-Varina, Wake Forest, and Knightdale.
Because we live and work here, we are used to the doors and hardware common to this area, from older homes inside the beltline to the newer subdivisions and offices going up around the edges of Wake County. That local footing is part of why Lock Installation tends to go smoothly rather than turning into a guessing game.
For most homes, yes. Rekeying changes the pins so old keys no longer work, which is exactly what you want after a move or a lost key, without the cost of new hardware.
We look at the cylinder, the door, and the strike. Many sticking or loose locks are a service or an alignment fix rather than a replacement, and we will tell you honestly which it is.
