Residential Lock Services in Pittsburgh

From rekeying the locks after moving in, to upgrading to a deadbolt or smart lock, LocKey provides complete residential locksmith service throughout Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.

Rekey House Locks

Rekeying changes the internal pin tumblers in your existing lock cylinder so all previous keys become permanently useless. You get new keys that work; the hardware stays in place. It's faster and cheaper than replacing locks.

  • Moving into a new home or apartment
  • Lost or stolen house keys
  • After a break-up or change of tenant
  • Key duplication concern

Change Locks on Your House

Sometimes rekeying isn't enough — worn hardware, an old lock style, or the need to upgrade security grade means replacing the entire lock makes more sense. We carry a range of ANSI Grade 2 and Grade 1 residential locks on our mobile unit.

  • Damaged, worn, or loose lock mechanism
  • Upgrade to higher security grade
  • Change lock style or finish
  • Kwikset, Schlage & Baldwin in stock

Deadbolt Installation & Upgrade

A quality deadbolt is the single most effective physical security upgrade for a home. We install single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts, including ANSI Grade 1 models with reinforced strike plates for kick-in resistance.

  • Single & double-cylinder deadbolts
  • Reinforced steel strike plate included
  • Grade 1, 2 & 3 options available
  • Works with existing door bore (most cases)

  • Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo & more
  • Keypad, fingerprint & app-based options
  • Compatible with most standard door preps
  • Initial programming & setup included

Should You Rekey or Replace Your House Locks?

Use this guide to decide — or call us and we'll advise you on-site at no extra charge.

Rekey Your Locks When…

  • You just moved into a new home or apartment
    Previous owners or tenants may still have keys.
  • You lost your keys or had them stolen
    Old keys become permanently useless after rekeying.
  • A tenant moved out or a roommate left
    Affordable security reset without new hardware.
  • You're worried about unauthorized key copies
    Rekeying invalidates any duplicates ever made.
  • Your locks are in good condition
    No need to replace hardware that's working well.

Replace Your Locks When…

  • The lock is damaged, worn, or malfunctioning
    Sticking, grinding, or loose? It's time for new hardware.
  • You want to upgrade your security grade
    Move from Grade 3 to Grade 1 ANSI hardware.
  • You want to change the lock style or finish
    Match new decor or unify finishes across doors.
  • The lock mechanism was bypassed or forced
    A compromised lock should never be rekeyed.
  • You're installing a smart lock or keypad
    Smart locks replace the existing lock entirely.

Residential Locksmith FAQ — Pittsburgh

Rekeying is the most recommended and cost-effective option when moving into a new home. It changes the lock's internal pin configuration so all previous keys stop working — without replacing the hardware. If locks are damaged, very old, or you want a security upgrade, replacing them entirely makes sense. Call (412) 543-8280 for an on-site assessment.

Rekeying alters the existing lock cylinder's pin tumblers so a new key operates it and all old keys are rendered permanently useless. The hardware stays in place. Changing a lock means removing and replacing the entire lock mechanism. Rekeying is cheaper; lock replacement is better when hardware is damaged or you want a security upgrade.

Cost depends on the number of locks, lock brand, and your location within our service area. A service call fee applies and is disclosed when you call. Our technician provides a full written quote on-site before any work begins — you are never obligated to proceed.
