Residential Locksmith Questions

Should I rekey my locks or replace them after moving?

Rekeying is usually enough and more affordable. Lawrenceville Locksmiths can rekey all your locks to a single key for convenience too.

What's the difference between rekeying and changing locks?

Rekeying keeps your hardware but changes the pins inside, so old keys no longer work. Changing means swapping the entire lock mechanism.

Can you install smart locks on older doors?

Definitely. We install smart locks all the time. Even if your door's a little old-school, we can make it work with the right adapter plate or latch.

I lost my house keys - can you make new ones without replacing the lock?

Yes. We can rekey the lock and make you fresh copies. No need to change the whole lock unless it's worn out or broken.

How long does a home rekey usually take?

About 15-30 minutes per lock. Most homes are done in under an hour. Quick, clean, and secure.

What's the most secure front door lock for a home in Lawrenceville?

We like Grade 1 deadbolts or smart locks with auto-locking and alerts. Brands like Schlage and Kwikset offer solid options we trust.

Do you work on interior doors and sliding patio locks too?

Yes. Bedrooms, basements, bathrooms, patios - if it locks, we work on it. Lawrenceville Locksmiths handles whole-house security.

Commercial Locksmith Questions

Can you repair or replace broken panic bars at my office?

Absolutely. We fix panic bars, exit devices, and all emergency egress hardware. Don't wait till it fails an inspection.

Do you offer access control systems for businesses?

Yes - from simple keypad entry to card readers and audit-trail systems. We help you control who goes where and when.

How much does it cost to change locks in a commercial building?

It depends on the number of doors and type of locks, but we'll always give you clear estimates before we start.

What's a master key system and do I need one for my shop?

Master key systems let one key open multiple doors, while employees have keys to only the doors they need. Very useful in stores, offices, and warehouses.

Can you do after-hours service for offices or restaurants?

Yes. We often schedule evening or overnight jobs for businesses that can't stop operating during the day.
