House Lockout & Rekey Dallas — flat rate quoted on the phone before we dispatch. Same flat rate across Sun-Thu 8a-10p and Fri 8a-3p. No surcharge for evenings, weekends, or holidays.
Here's something your real estate agent won't bring up on closing day: the builder gave out keys to the framing crew, the HVAC sub, the inspector, and probably the buyer who fell out of contract before you. In a hot market like Dallas — where homes in Lakewood, M Streets, and East Dallas move in days — those keys go everywhere.
We also know what a Dallas summer does to wood-framed doors. Heat swells frames. Deadbolts start sticking by July. That's not a lockout — that's a maintenance call. We handle both.
Every tech is fully licensed and insured. We work every major brand: Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock. Also see our Dallas rekeying cost guide if you want to know what to expect before you call.
Mobile units staged across Dallas for same-day rekeys, house lockouts, and smart-lock installs. The closest available licensed technician is dispatched when you call.
Lakewood and the M Streets are full of pre-WWII bungalows with original mortise hardware mixed with modern Schlage / Kwikset retrofits. We rekey, repair sticking deadbolts (a Dallas summer specialty), and install Schlage Encode Plus smart deadbolts that preserve the original door look.
From the bungalows of Winnetka Heights to the newer infill homes around Bishop Arts, we handle move-in rekeys, broken-key extraction, and high-security deadbolt upgrades. Frequent calls from buyers who closed on a flip and want the locks re-pinned the same day.
Mid-rise condos, luxury townhouses, and the apartment buildings along Cedar Springs and McKinney Avenue. We rekey condo deadbolts (with HOA-approved hardware), program door-lock fobs, and install smart locks that integrate with building access systems.
Preston Hollow, Devonshire, and the streets between Northwest Highway and LBJ. We install Medeco and Mul-T-Lock restricted-keyway cylinders for higher-value homes and provide whole-house rekeying with master-key options for households with cleaners, nannies, and dog walkers.
The neighborhoods east of US-75 — Lake Highlands, Casa Linda, White Rock Hills. Common jobs: rekeys after move-in, deadbolt upgrades for older 70s-80s ranch homes, and smart lock installs on builder-grade doors.
Walkable, densely-parked, and a frequent source of late-evening house lockouts after dinner on Knox or a show in Deep Ellum. We open standard residential locks (Schlage, Kwikset, Yale) without damage and can rekey on the spot if your keys went missing rather than just got left inside.
Six residential services. One tech, one visit, usually done before you've finished your coffee.
It happens fast. You're grabbing groceries off the Central Market porch on Lovers Lane, the door clicks shut, and then — nothing. Or you get home late after a show at Dos Equis Pavilion and your key snaps in the deadbolt.
Our techs use professional pick sets and bypass tools — not brute force, not drilling. Non-destructive entry, no damage to your door or frame. We serve Uptown, Deep Ellum, Oak Lawn, Lakewood, Lake Highlands, and every DFW suburb.
Every Dallas real estate agent will tell you: rekey before you unpack. They just won't tell you how many copies of that key are already out there. The builder, the inspector, the buyer who fell out of contract, the last owner's landscaper — all may still have access. Rekeying re-pins the cylinder tumblers to a brand-new key. Old keys stop working instantly. We carry pins for every major brand and can rekey your entire home in a single visit, usually while you're still stacking boxes. See our Dallas rekeying cost guide to know what to budget.
We install every major brand: Schlage Encode Plus, Kwikset Halo Touch, Yale Assure Lock 2, August Wi-Fi, Level Bolt, Ultraloq. Physical mount, strike plate alignment, and full app config (guest codes, auto-lock, Alexa/Google/HomeKit) in one visit. Most Dallas installs are completed in a single on-site visit.
Kick-in attacks are the #1 residential break-in method in Dallas — and most standard deadbolts fail on the first hit. We install ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts with reinforced strike plates and 3-inch security screws. Schlage B60N, Kwikset 980, Baldwin heavy-duty.
Sticky bolt from the summer heat? We repair and rebuild those too.
For Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow and other high-value Dallas neighborhoods — Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinders. Patented key control. Keys cannot be duplicated without your authorization card. Pick, bump, and drill certified. ANSI Grade 1.
Lock work doesn't stop at the front door. We open and repair home safes (combination and key-lock), replace mailbox locks, rekey interior doors, and service sliding glass door and window locks. File cabinet. Gun safe. Whatever's locked that shouldn't be.
We work with all residential lock brands. Below are the brands we most commonly supply and install across Dallas-area homes.
Rekeying a single lock in Dallas typically costs $20–40 per cylinder, plus a service call fee. A full house rekey (front door, back door, garage entry — usually 3–5 locks) is our most popular residential service and typically runs $80–150 total. Rekeying is almost always cheaper than replacing the entire lock hardware. Call (214) 272-2447 for an exact quote.
We recommend rekeying your locks whenever you: (1) move into a new or resale home in Dallas — you never know who holds a copy of the original key; (2) end a relationship with someone who had a key; (3) lose a key and cannot account for it; or (4) had a contractor, housekeeper, or tenant with key access. Rekeying is faster and less expensive than full lock replacement.
Yes. We supply and install all major smart lock brands, including Schlage Encode Plus, Yale Assure Lock 2, Kwikset Halo, August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, Level Bolt, and Ultraloq. We handle the full installation — physical mounting, strike plate alignment, and smartphone app setup. Most Dallas smart lock installs are completed in a single on-site visit.
Rekeying means changing the internal pin tumblers inside your existing lock cylinder so that old keys no longer work and a new key is cut to fit. It keeps your existing hardware and is faster and cheaper. Lock replacement means physically removing and replacing the entire lock device with new hardware. We recommend replacement when the lock is damaged, worn, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security model.
Medeco and Mul-T-Lock high-security locks are rated to resist picking, bumping, drilling, and key duplication. They feature patented key control — keys cannot be duplicated without a registered ID card. Both brands meet ANSI Grade 1 standards and are tested to withstand millions of cycles. We install both brands throughout Dallas and can recommend the right option based on your specific threat profile and budget.
We rekey homes, install smart locks, upgrade deadbolts, and respond to lockouts across all 69 cities in our DFW service area. Click your city for local dispatch info.
