New Keys Without New Locks
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing locks so old keys stop working and a fresh set takes over — the hardware stays on the door, only who can open it changes. It is the smart first move after moving in, handing back a rental, losing a key, or parting ways with anyone who had one. Because we reuse your current locks, it usually costs far less than replacement, and we can set several doors to a single key while we are there.
Locked Out of the House? We’ll Get You Back In
A door that clicks shut behind you, a key that snaps in the lock, a deadbolt that won’t turn — a house lockout always lands at the worst moment. We answer day and night and reach most Billings addresses fast. Our technicians open doors with the right tools rather than force, so your lock and door keep working once you are inside. If a key has broken off in the cylinder, we take out the pieces and cut you a fresh one on the spot.
New Lock & Deadbolt Installation
Whether you are finishing a new build, adding a deadbolt to a back door, or swapping out a flimsy builder-grade knob, we install locks that fit the door properly and line up with the frame — no sticking, no wobble, and no gap for a draft or a pry bar. We work with trusted brands and the hardware homeowners actually ask for: keyed entry sets, deadbolts, full handlesets, and interior privacy and passage sets. Tell us how secure you want to feel, and we match the right grade to your door and your budget.
Lock Repair That Saves a Full Replacement
A key that sticks, a knob that spins, a deadbolt that only throws halfway, a door you have to lift to lock — most of these trace back to worn pins, a loose set screw, or a strike plate that has drifted out of line. Often a repair and a quick realignment bring the lock back to smooth for a fraction of the price of new hardware. We will tell you plainly when a lock is worth fixing and when it has reached the end of the road, so you never pay to patch something that should simply be swapped out.
Lock Replacement & Security Upgrades
Some locks are past rekeying or repair — rusted, painted over, bent from a break-in attempt, or simply decades out of date. Replacing them is the honest fix, and a good moment to step your security up at the same time. We can move you to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt, fit bump- and pick-resistant cylinders, or bring every exterior door onto matching hardware in one finish. If a break-in is the reason for your call, we treat it as urgent and make sure the whole home is buttoned up before we leave.
Smart Locks & Keyless Entry
Tired of hiding a spare under the mat? A smart lock or keypad lets the family in with a code, a phone, or a fingerprint — and lets you give a guest or cleaner a code you switch off later. We help you choose a model that genuinely suits your door and your home wifi, then install and set it up so it works from day one. We fit keypad deadbolts, Bluetooth and wifi locks, and keyless handlesets, and are glad to keep a traditional key as a backup so a flat battery never leaves you stranded.
Broken Key Removal & Spare Keys
Keys wear out, bend, and snap — usually inside the lock, and usually when you are already running late. We extract the broken piece without harming the cylinder and cut you a clean replacement, so the door is working again before we pack up. It is also the easy moment to sort out spares: one for the house-sitter, one for a teenager, a couple for the family. We cut accurate copies on site, including many higher-security keys. We also handle commercial locksmith jobs and car key replacement for vehicles whenever you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a rekey or a full lock replacement?

Yes. Lockouts and break-in repairs do not wait for business hours, so we answer day and night across Billings and the surrounding towns.
