"I contacted Doorbusters Lock & Key for rekeying several locks at my home, and they were excellent from start to finish. The technician arrived quickly, was professional and polite, and rekeyed everything perfectly. All the locks work smoothly, and the price was fair and exactly as quoted. I really appreciate how efficient and honest they were, definitely a company I’ll call again for any locksmith needs. Highly recommended!"

"Despite a hiccup with scheduling, AA Lock & Key was professional, cost-efficient, and great to do business with. I had the pleasure of working with the owner, who even went above and beyond the call of duty by helping me a door that was jamming when we tried to close it. He kept me abreast of everything he was doing, made me test his work while he was there, and all-in-all proved that the hiring of AA Lock & Key was a good decision. Should we need a locksmith in the future, I will be hiring them."

"Wonderful. Returned my call shortly after I reached out through Angie's List, came out that same day (a Sunday no less!), and had the work completed with in short amount of time. Replacing a door knob and dead bolt sounds like an easy proposition, but this really wasn't. I had tried and failed several times finding hardware that would work in the undersized holes and decided I needed to use a professional. Good decision."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

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.

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.
