Home Locksmith Services We Provide
From historic rowhomes near the Annapolis waterfront to newer construction further inland, homes here come with a wide range of door and lock hardware. We work with all of it.
House Lockouts
Non-destructive entry when you’re locked out of your home, garage or shed. We’re available 24/7 and can rekey on the spot if a key is lost.
Lock Rekeying
We re-pin your existing locks so old keys stop working, without replacing the hardware. Ideal after a move, a lost key or a tenant change.
Lock Changes
New knobs, levers and handlesets from trusted brands such as Schlage, Kwikset and Medeco, fitted and tested on your door.
Deadbolts
Deadbolt installation and replacement with reinforced strike plates, so the bolt extends fully into the frame and the door holds.
Smart Locks
Keypad and Wi-Fi smart locks installed, programmed and tested, so you can share codes instead of cutting more keys.
High-Security Locks
Pick- and bump-resistant locks for exterior doors, plus advice on which upgrade fits your doors and budget.
New Homeowner Security
Just moved in? We rekey or replace every exterior lock so you know exactly who has a key to your new home.
Rentals & Property Management
Rekeys between tenants, keypad locks for rentals and short-term stays, and simple master key systems for small multifamily buildings.
We also service interior door, sliding door and mailbox locks, and open and repair home safes.
Lock Rekey vs. Lock Change in Annapolis, MD
Not sure which one you need? Here is the short version.
When to Rekey
Rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder so a new key works and the old ones don’t. It’s usually the most affordable option when your locks are in good shape.
When to Change the Lock
A lock change makes more sense when hardware is worn, damaged or outdated, or when you want to move up to a high-security or smart lock.
Your residential locksmith Annapolis technician will check your doors and recommend what fits your home and budget, never an upsell you don’t need.
Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Home Locks
Many Annapolis homes still have the original builder-grade locks they came with. Consider a lock change or upgrade if:
- A key sticks or has to be jiggled to turn.
- A deadbolt doesn’t fully extend into the frame.
- You can’t account for every copy of your keys.
- An exterior door only has a knob lock and no deadbolt.
- You manage a rental, a short-term stay or a home with frequent contractors, where keypad codes are easier to change than keys.
If you’re unsure, ask your technician during the visit. We’re happy to inspect your exterior doors, sliding patio doors and garage entry doors and point out any weak spots.
What to Expect When You Call
- Tell us what’s going on. A real person answers, asks a few quick questions about your door and lock, and gives you an honest idea of the work involved.
- A licensed technician arrives. We confirm the job and the price with you on site before any work begins.
- The job gets done right. We carry common deadbolts, knobs, levers and rekeying pins in our vans, so most residential jobs are finished in one trip.
- You test everything. Before we leave, every key and lock is checked with you so there are no surprises later.

Residential Locksmith Annapolis FAQs
I just moved into a new home — should I rekey the locks?
Yes, we generally recommend it. You have no way of knowing how many keys exist for a home’s previous owners, tenants, or contractors, so rekeying or replacing the locks is a straightforward way to reset who has access.
What should I do if I’m locked out of my house?
Call us any time, day or night. We’ll dispatch a technician to safely get you back inside without damaging your door or lock, and can rekey on the spot if you’d like.
Can you upgrade my existing locks to high-security hardware?
Yes, we install high-security lock upgrades designed to resist picking, bumping, and forced entry, and can advise on the right option for your doors.
Is it cheaper to rekey or change my locks?
Rekeying is usually the more affordable choice when your existing locks are in good working condition, because only the pins inside the cylinder are changed. If the hardware is worn, damaged or you want a smart or high-security lock, a lock change is the better investment.
How fast can you get to my home in Annapolis?
For lockouts and other urgent calls, we dispatch the nearest available technician right away and give you an estimated arrival time on the phone. Arrival times depend on traffic and where you are in Annapolis or Anne Arundel County, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. We rekey units between tenants, install keypad and smart locks for rentals, set up simple master key systems for small multifamily buildings and can coordinate access with your tenants so you don’t have to be on site.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. Your technician explains the work and confirms the price with you before starting, so you can decide with no pressure.
