Alpha Lockmith

"We recently purchased a home in Hendersonville and wanted to have all the exterior door locks (including a keypad) re-keyed. I called Mark and he came out that afternoon and did the job. He also made extra keys for us for a very reasonable charge. He was very friendly and did a super job, including giving me pointers on how to reset the code on the keypad. I highly recommend Alpha Locksmith!"

"I honestly don't know what I enjoyed the most. The keys that were expertly made, or the conversation I had with one of the most pleasant men I have ever met. I guess I needed the keys, but I will long remember the MAN known affectionately as Moose. Priceless!"

"Sal is the technician and he is amazing! I have 12 indoor knobs to replace and he finished all the work neatly within two hours, and, in addition, fixed my front storm door and my back door. He is very talented and super professional, and the whole process is very quiet without excessive noise (as I am having a meeting in my office). He also wore a mask and shoe covers.

"David, owner, demonstrated truly high skill with his picking tools. I never saw anything like it. He had the lock open in a minute! He then cut me a couple of keys, that was in itself, a wonder. Because my file cabinet happens to use a specialized, that is really very hard to find. And the cost? Very reasonable. American Eagle Locksmith sets the standard. Furthermore, Dave is a very pleasant man. Very highly recommended."

We are a full locksmith service as well as fire safe provider. Been in business since 2002 and happy to answer any questions you have. Please contact us any time.

"The manager at A.L. Odom managed to squeeze me in on the same day I phoned so I didn't have to leave my house unsecured with a broken lock for another night. The techs very courteously phoned to say they were on the way. They worked very efficiently and did a great job on the install as well as cleaning up the mess from the wood door cutting and drilling. They also didn't try to sell me more than I needed. The final cost even came in a few dollars under the estimate. Very professional and courteous company. I will use them again!"

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.

While a strong conventional deadbolt offers enough security for most homeowners, if you’re looking for extra features beyond just simple locking, smart deadbolts are the way to go. Smart deadbolts allow for keyless entry using your phone or a code, remote access in case someone is locked out, and features like temporary access codes, automatic locking, tamper alerts and entry-exit monitoring. Smart deadbolts also come with downsides: they rely on batteries and wireless networks and are potentially vulnerable to hacking by skilled home intruders.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

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.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.
