Residential Locksmith Services
Every job below is something a homeowner or renter in Dearborn calls us for regularly — not a padded list.
House Lockouts
Locked out at your front, back, or garage entry door. Non-destructive entry methods first, on a simple interior door where that’s safe — never forced on a deadbolt.
Most house lockouts we’re called for happen after dark, not during business hours.
Rekeying
Rekeying after a move-in, a break-in, a roommate change, or a lost key — one new key, same hardware, without replacing the whole lock.
Just closed on a house? Rekeying in the first week is the most overlooked security step new owners skip. See rekey vs. replace →
Lock & Deadbolt Installation
New deadbolt or lockset installation on an existing door, including upgrades to a higher security grade.
Smart Lock Setup
Installation and setup of keypad and app-connected smart locks, matched to your existing door hardware where possible.
Lock & Handle Repair
A stiff, sticking, or partially-working lock or handle repaired instead of replaced outright, when that’s the cheaper honest option.
Broken Key Extraction
A key that’s snapped off inside a residential lock, removed without damaging the cylinder where possible.
Why Dearborn Homeowners Call Us
Just Moved In
You don’t know how many keys are floating around from a previous owner, tenant, or contractor. A full-house rekey closes that gap in one visit.
Locked Out After a Door Auto-Locked
A door that locks itself behind you is one of the most common reasons for an evening lockout call — it’s not a sign anything’s wrong with your home.
Key Broke in the Lock
Metal fatigue on an old key snaps more often than people expect, especially in cold weather — extraction is usually faster than a full lock replacement.
Upgrading After a Break-In Attempt
Scratched or damaged hardware around a lock, even without a successful break-in, is worth a professional look and often a security-grade upgrade.

Common Questions About Home Locksmith Service
Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving in?
Rekeying is almost always cheaper and is enough for most move-ins, since it invalidates every old key on hardware that’s already in good condition. Replacement only makes sense if the hardware itself is damaged or you want a security upgrade. See the full comparison →
Can you get into my house without damaging the door?
For a simple interior spring-latch door, yes, in most cases. A deadbolt is built specifically to resist that kind of entry, so a deadbolt lockout is handled with proper locksmith tools rather than force — that’s the difference between a $150 lockout and a $600 door-frame repair.
Do you install smart locks, or only traditional locks?
Both. We install and set up keypad and app-connected smart locks in addition to traditional deadbolts and locksets, matched to your existing door where possible.
What if I can’t afford a locksmith right now?
Check whether a landlord, property manager, or an insurance/roadside policy you already have covers the visit first. See the full free-options checklist →
