What is residential locksmith?

Rekey first when you move?
A new home can come with an unknown number of old keys. Former owners, contractors, cleaners, relatives, and property managers may still have copies. Rekeying changes the working key without replacing sound hardware, which makes it the practical first security step for many new homeowners.
Before scheduling, count the exterior locks and tell Cris whether you want them keyed alike. With that information, he can usually quote the complete job over the phone.
Repair, replace, or upgrade?
Not every sticky lock needs replacement. Cris checks alignment, wear, and hardware condition before recommending a fix. If the lock is damaged or you want stronger protection, he can install new deadbolts, door knobs, lever sets, sliding-door locks, and compatible smart locks.
For exterior doors, ask about Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolt options. The right choice depends on the door, frame, budget, and level of use—not whichever product happens to cost the most.
What happens when you call?
Describe the door, lock type, and problem. Photos sent by text can help. Cris gives a price before leaving, confirms the service address, and calls or texts with a realistic ETA. If the scope changes, he discusses the options and price before any additional work.

01Can all of my home locks use one key?
Often, yes, when the cylinders are compatible. Tell Cris the lock brands or text photos so he can confirm before the visit.
02Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekey good hardware when you only need old keys disabled. Replace damaged, unreliable, or outdated hardware, or when you want a security upgrade.
03Do you install smart locks?
Yes. Cris installs compatible keyless and smart locks and can help confirm whether your door and existing deadbolt preparation will work.
04What if the job scope changes?
Cris explains the new issue and confirms any change in work or price before proceeding.
