What Does a Residential Locksmith Do?
A residential locksmith installs, repairs, rekeys, and replaces every type of lock in your home. That covers front door deadbolts, sliding door locks, window latches, mailbox locks, gate locks, garage entry locks, and safes. We also install modern keypad and smart lock systems from brands like Schlage, Yale, August, and Kwikset.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are roughly 35,000 working locksmiths in the US. Not all of them are good. We've been doing this for over 20 years and have 252 five-star Google reviews to prove it.

When Should You Call a Residential Locksmith?
Call us when you can't get in, can't keep others out, or want better security. That's the short version. The most common calls we get are home lockouts (keys left inside, lock jammed, broken key stuck in the cylinder) and rekeying after moving into a new house.
But we also get a lot of calls from people upgrading old locks. If your home still has builder-grade Kwikset or Defiant knobs from when the house was built, those are easy to pick. A Grade 1 deadbolt from Medeco or Mul-T-Lock is a different story. We can walk you through the options when we arrive.
How Does Our Residential Service Work?
You call (561) 524-8500. We show up in about 20 minutes. Done. That's really it. Our vans carry Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and Medeco hardware, plus pin kits for rekeying, smart lock programming tools, and safe-cracking equipment. We don't need to run to a supply house first.
We give you a firm price before touching anything. If you don't like the number, you owe us nothing and we leave. That almost never happens because our prices are fair, but the option is always there.
Where Do We Provide Residential Locksmith Service?
We're mobile across 25 cities in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Our busiest residential areas are Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, and Plantation. But we cover everything from Delray Beach down to Miramar.
Residential Locksmith Questions
How much does it cost to rekey a house?
Our rekeying starts at $125 for the service call plus your first lock. Each additional standard pin tumbler lock is $45. So a typical 4-lock house runs about $260. High-security locks like Medeco cost more due to the specialized pins. We'll confirm the exact price on site before starting.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after buying a house?
Depends on the lock condition. If the existing locks are solid and you just need to make old keys useless, rekeying is faster and cheaper. If the hardware is worn out, rusted, or builder-grade junk, replacing makes more sense. We'll look at what you have and give you an honest recommendation when we get there.
Can you install a smart lock on my existing door?
Almost always yes. Most smart locks from Schlage, Yale, and August fit standard door preps. We handle the physical installation, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth pairing, app setup, and programming user codes. Takes 45-90 minutes depending on the lock model and your door type. We'll also show you how to use it before we leave.
How fast can you get here for a home lockout?
Average is 20 minutes. We keep vans spread across Broward and Palm Beach counties so someone's always close by. We've had calls in Boca where we were there in 12 minutes. Late night or holidays, it might take 25-30. But we're 24/7 and we don't charge extra for after-hours residential lockouts.
What's the best lock brand for a front door?
For most homes, Schlage B60N deadbolt. It's ANSI Grade 1 (the highest), bump-resistant, and runs about $40-60 for the hardware. If you want maximum security, Medeco Maxum or Mul-T-Lock Hercular. Those start around $200+ but they're virtually pick-proof. Honestly, a Schlage B60N stops 99% of break-in attempts.
Do you handle safe lockouts and installations?
Yes. We open safes that are locked, jammed, or have forgotten combinations. We also sell and install home safes and gun safes. Opening a standard residential safe runs $95-$200. We can usually get it open without drilling, but if drilling is needed we'll discuss it with you first.
