Their price was pretty reasonable. They responded really fast and the job was taken care of really fast. It was a pretty good service. They told me that they would be there in twenty minutes and they surely were there. They were very professional. I would use them again in the future.

After having the locks re-keyed on my rental property, I couldn't open the deadbolt lock the next morning. The original locksmith refused to fix the problem until after his shop had closed. As the tenants were en route, I had to get the door open right away. I called Lock Squad and they were...

The keys I wanted made were from an orginal that perhaps was not the best. Other locksmiths had made keys for me, but none of them worked. The keys White Bear Locksmith made worked perfectly! I will definitely go back when I need any future keys made.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key:

They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.
They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.
They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key.

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

The cost to rekey locks on your home is $40 to $100 plus $15 to $40 per lock. Rekeying means you can keep your existing locks but simply change the key. You’ll still need a pro to cut a new key and rekey the lock, but no new hardware is required. Rekeying is a good option if:

You need a quick way to upgrade your current locks
You have a quality lock that works well
You recently moved in and want to ensure you’re the only one with access
You lost a key

Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:

Type of services required
Emergency call fees
Home and lock location
Number of locks to repair or install
Peak hours
Type of locks
