Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lock Patriot is a mobile locksmith service, which means we come directly to your home with the tools and equipment needed to complete the job on-site whenever possible.

Question 5

Can you rekey the locks on my house?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rekeying allows your existing locks to work with a new key, so old keys will no longer operate the lock. This is a great option if you moved into a new home, lost a key, had a roommate move out, or are unsure who may have copies of your current keys.

Question 6

When should I rekey my home?

Accepted Answer

You should consider rekeying your home when:

You move into a new house
You lose a house key
Experience a breakup or roommate change
Someone moves out
A tenant leaves
A contractor, cleaner, or service provider had a key
You are unsure who has copies of your keys
You want one key to work multiple doors
anytime you are unsure who has access to your property.

Rekeying helps restore peace of mind and gain better control over who has access to your home.

Question 7

Do I need to replace my locks, or can they be rekeyed?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, locks do not need to be fully replaced. If the lock hardware is still in good condition, it may be possible to rekey it instead. A professional locksmith can inspect your locks and let you know whether rekeying, repairing, or replacing them is the best option.

Question 8

Can you make all of my house locks work with one key?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. If your locks are compatible, we can rekey them so one key works for multiple doors. This can make your home more convenient and reduce the number of keys you need to carry.

Question 9

Can you replace or install new door locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lock Patriot can replace or install many types of residential door locks, including deadbolts, knob locks, lever locks, and other common home security hardware. Our technician can help determine the best option based on your door, lock type, and security needs.

Question 10

Can you install a deadbolt?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Deadbolts are one of the most common ways to improve home security. Whether you need a new deadbolt installed, an old one replaced, or an existing deadbolt repaired, our technician can help.

Question 11

Can you repair a lock that is hard to turn?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your lock is sticking, hard to turn, or not working smoothly, the issue may be caused by wear, misalignment, dirt, damage, or a problem with the key. Our technician can inspect the lock and determine whether it can be adjusted, repaired, rekeyed, or replaced.

Question 12

Can you help if my key broke inside the lock?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a key breaks inside the lock, our technician can inspect the lock and attempt to remove the broken piece safely. Depending on the condition of the lock and key, we may also be able to make a replacement key, rekey the lock, or recommend a repair or replacement.

Question 13

Can you help if my house key is lost or stolen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your house key is lost or stolen, rekeying your locks is strongly recommended. This prevents the missing key from working and helps protect your home from unauthorized access.

Question 14

Can you change the locks after I buy a new house?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rekeying or replacing the locks after buying a new home is highly recommended. Even if you received keys at closing, you may not know how many copies exist or who may still have them. Rekeying gives you a fresh start with new keys.

Question 15

Can you help landlords or rental property owners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lock Patriot can assist landlords and rental property owners with rekeying, lock changes, lock repairs, tenant turnover, and lockout services. Rekeying between tenants is a smart way to maintain security and protect the property.

Question 16

Can you unlock bedroom, bathroom, or interior doors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can assist with many interior residential lockouts, including bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, closets, and other rooms inside the home. These locks are often different from exterior locks, and our technician can determine the safest way to open them.

Question 17

Can you replace mailbox, gate, or garage locks?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. Lock Patriot can assist with many residential locks beyond the front door, including mailbox locks, gate locks, garage entry locks, storage locks, and similar hardware. Service options may depend on the type and condition of the lock.

Question 18

Do you install smart locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Smart locks can be a convenient option for homeowners who want keypad entry, app access, or keyless entry features. Our technician can help install compatible smart locks and make sure they are properly secured to the door.

Question 19

Are smart locks safer than regular locks?

Accepted Answer

Smart locks can be convenient, but the best option depends on your home, door, hardware, and security goals. Some homeowners prefer traditional deadbolts, while others like the convenience of keyless entry. A locksmith can help you choose an option that balances security, convenience, and reliability.

Question 20

Can you improve my home security?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A residential locksmith can inspect your current locks and recommend ways to improve your home’s security. This may include rekeying, replacing worn locks, adding deadbolts, upgrading hardware, or making sure your doors and locks are functioning properly.

Question 21

Should I rekey or replace my locks?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the condition of your locks and your security goals.

Rekeying is usually a good option if your locks are in good shape but you want the old keys to stop working. Replacing the locks may be better if the hardware is damaged, outdated, hard to use, or if you want to upgrade the style or security level.

Lock Patriot can inspect your locks and help you decide which option makes the most sense.

Question 22

Can a locksmith install a smart lock?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A locksmith can install many types of smart locks and help make sure the lock is properly fitted to your door.

Smart locks can be a convenient option for homeowners who want keypad access, app-based controls, temporary codes, or easier access for family members and trusted visitors.

Question 23

What should I do after moving into a new house?

Accepted Answer

One of the first things you should do after moving into a new home is rekey or replace the exterior locks. Even if the previous owner handed over keys, you may not know how many copies exist.

New homeowners should also check deadbolts, garage entry doors, sliding doors, side doors, and any other access points around the home.
