Lock replacement is the right call when your existing lock is damaged, compromised after a break-in, or simply too old to trust.

How It Works

From your call to your door — here’s exactly what to expect in University City

1

Choose Your Hardware

Call (314) 310-7779 for guidance on lock grade, brand, and smart vs. traditional. We stock Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale Grade 1 and 2 on every van — or we source the exact hardware you specify.

2

Remove Old Locks & Inspect Door

Our University City tech removes existing hardware, inspects the door prep and frame, and checks for damage affecting security. Any issues are flagged and disclosed before new hardware is installed.

3

Professional Installation

New locks are installed to manufacturer spec with correct backset, latch throw, and strike plate alignment. All deadbolt installs include 3-inch security screws in the strike plate as standard.

4

Test, Program & Hand Off Keys

All functions are tested — deadbolt throw, key turn, app pairing if a smart lock. We cut and test all new keys and walk you through any digital features. Done correctly the first time.

When should I replace vs rekey my locks in University City?

Replace when your lock is worn, damaged, or you want to upgrade security. Rekey when the lock is fine but you want new keys. Not sure? Call (314) 310-7779 — we will assess for free on-site in University City.

Can you install smart locks and keypad locks in University City?

Yes — we install Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, Yale, August, and other smart lock brands in University City. We handle the entire install including app pairing. Call (314) 310-7779 for brand availability.

How long does lock installation take at my University City home?

A standard deadbolt swap takes 20-30 minutes per lock. New bore installation takes 45-60 minutes. We leave every University City job clean and fully tested before we go.

Do you change locks for renters and landlords in University City?

Yes — we serve both. Landlords: we rekey or replace between tenants fast. Renters: get written permission from your property manager first; we are happy to work with both parties in University City.

Can you match new locks to my existing key in University City?

In many cases yes — we can key new locks to match your current key or set up a key-alike system across all entries. Ask about this when you call (314) 310-7779.

What lock brands do you stock for installation in University City MO?

We stock Schlage, Kwikset, and Defiant grades 1 and 2 deadbolts and knob sets on every service van in University City. For smart locks, we carry Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, and Yale Assure. Need a specific brand? Call (314) 310-7779 — we can source it and schedule same-day or next-day.

Can you reinforce a door frame during lock installation in University City?

Yes — strike plate upgrades, hinge bolts, and door edge guards significantly improve security alongside new locks. If your University City property has a hollow or soft door frame, ask about our security hardening package — we carry the hardware on the van.

How do I know if I need lock replacement vs. rekeying in University City?

Replace if your lock is damaged, worn, corroded, or was compromised in a break-in. Rekey if the lock works fine but you want to control who has keys. Not sure? Call (314) 310-7779 — we will assess remotely or on-site in University City and give you an honest recommendation, not an upsell.

Can you match new locks to my existing key in University City?

In many cases yes — we can key new Schlage or Kwikset locks to match your existing key profile so you only need to carry one key. If an exact match is not possible, we set up a key-alike system so one key opens all your new locks in University City.
