What is the difference between Residential Locksmith jobs and other locksmith services?

A residential locksmith job is to look at the customer from a homeowner perspective in order to better understand the customer needs. The local building codes for residential are likely to be different from commercial space code. It is the residential locksmith job to be familiar with building codes that are relevant to lock and keys. There are a lot of different locking system options designs for residential use; a good residential locksmith is one who keeps up with what’s out there and what’s new in order to meet the need of the customers in the best way possible.

Are you sure I need a professional? Why can’t I do the job myself?

Be sure to request a residential locksmith expert to handle your home lock and security needs. Selecting the wrong expert (like, let’s say a commercial locksmith expert) can result in less than an attractive result. For example, commercial grade locks, although more sturdy and designed to take more abuse, they are often too bulky and will not look good on a residential application. It may not only look good, but you may also end up having to pay more for those locks as commercial grade locks tend to cost more.

Anyone who owns or rents a home will likely need a residential locksmith service at one point or another. After all, it is a matter of time before one will lose a key or locked the key inside the home or simply have a lock and key failure.

What should I expect to pay?

Home lockout service requires some lock picking skills and a general idea on how residential locks work. It is a very common residential locksmith service that we offer, and you should expect the cost to be range from $60 to $550, depending on how complicated the lock is to bypass as well as how many locks the locksmith must bypass in order to get you back inside your home.

You should also expect the cost to increase if the locksmith was unsuccessful at bypassing the lock without having to damage the lock in the process (in some cases, there is no way to avoid damaging the lock in the process of bypassing the lock); in this case, there is an added cost of a new lock. Home lock rekey service is an excellent way of saving money. Someone may consider having a lock rekeyed when a key to the lock has been jeopardized.

At this point, instead of replacing the lock, a locksmith can change the orientation of the lock pins to work with a new key, and the old key will no longer work. The cost to rekey a lock can vary based on the lock type and design (in other words, how complicated it is to rekey the lock).

In most cases, it is going to cost less to rekey a lock than it will be to replace a lock. The starting rate for lock rekey is $29 per lock. Home lock replacement is a service that you would want to select when it’s time to upgrade the look or the security of the locks on your home or if the locks are getting too old and beginning to malfunction in a consistent way.

When you consider replacing your home locks, be sure to hire a residential locksmith specialist in order to ensure proper lock installation. It doesn’t matter what kind of lock you have selected; your home security may be at risk if the lock is installed incorrectly.

What should I expect when the tech arrives?

Upon the tech arrival, everything should begin with a proper introduction between you and the locksmith who arrives at your home. After the introduction, the locksmith may ask to see your ID (for obvious reasons, we are required by law to verify the identity of whom we are about to provide locksmith services to) and ask you some questions that will help him understand your situation and the best way to help you resolve your locksmith needs. You should expect a firm handshake, professionalism, honesty, and friendliness from the locksmith who arrives at your home.
