Residential Locksmith FAQs
Can you rekey my locks instead of replacing them?
Yes! Rekeying is a cost-effective solution that allows you to keep your existing locks while ensuring old keys no longer work. We can rekey your locks so they work with new keys without replacing the entire lock mechanism. This is ideal for new homeowners, after losing keys, or following a roommate change. Rekeying typically costs $35-50 per lock, which is significantly less expensive than full lock replacement.
How long does lock installation take?
Most standard lock installations take 15-30 minutes per lock. Deadbolt installations may take 20-40 minutes depending on whether we need to drill new holes. Smart lock installations typically take 30-60 minutes depending on the system complexity and whether you want app setup and programming included. We always work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards to ensure your locks are installed correctly and securely.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes! We offer same-day residential locksmith service for most non-emergency requests throughout Halifax Regional Municipality. For emergency home lockouts, we guarantee a 15-minute response time 24/7, every day of the year including holidays. Simply call us at (902) 719-7404, and we'll schedule a convenient time that works for you, often within just a few hours for non-emergency services.
What types of smart locks do you install?
We install all major smart lock brands including August, Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo, Lockly, Level Lock, and more. We can install keyless entry systems, digital keypads, Bluetooth-enabled locks, Wi-Fi connected locks, Z-Wave locks for home automation, app-controlled locks, touchscreen locks, and biometric (fingerprint) locks. We'll help you choose the right smart lock system based on your needs, existing door hardware, and budget.
Can you help if my key broke inside the lock?
Absolutely. Broken key extraction is one of our most common services. We have specialized tools to safely remove broken keys from lock cylinders without damaging the lock mechanism. Once extracted, we can cut you a new key on-site from the broken pieces or from your lock code. If the lock was damaged during the key break, we can repair or replace it immediately. This service typically takes 10-20 minutes and costs significantly less than replacing the entire lock.
Are your locksmiths licensed and insured?
Yes, all our locksmiths are fully licensed, bonded, and insured for your protection and peace of mind. Every technician has undergone professional training, certification, and background checks. We carry comprehensive liability insurance that protects you, your property, and our technicians. You can always ask to see credentials when our locksmith arrives at your home.
Should I rekey or replace my locks when moving into a new home?
We strongly recommend either rekeying or replacing all locks when you move into a new home. You never know how many copies of the existing keys are in circulation - previous owners, their family members, contractors, real estate agents, neighbors, etc. Rekeying is the most cost-effective option if your existing locks are in good condition and meet your security needs. If the locks are old, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher security or smart locks, replacement is the better option. We can assess your locks and recommend the best solution during a free consultation.
Do you provide emergency service at night and on weekends?
Yes! Our emergency residential locksmith service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This includes nights, weekends, and all holidays. If you're locked out of your home at 3 AM on Christmas Day, we'll be there within 15 minutes. Emergency service rates may apply for after-hours calls, but we always provide upfront pricing before beginning any work. Your security and access to your home are our top priorities, regardless of the time or day.
