Rekeying

Lock Rekeying in Dallas

Just moved in, lost a key, or had a roommate or tenant move out? Rekeying resets the lock you already own so older keys stop working, without buying new hardware.
With lock rekeying in Dallas, we reset the pins inside your existing cylinders to a new key, so copies already out there no longer open the door. Rekeying suits a lost or stolen key, a contractor who had access, or the locks that came with a home you just bought. We can also key several doors alike, so one key opens the front, the back, and the garage.
Move-In and Tenant Rekey
  • We rekey after you move into a new property, so old keys stop working
  • When a tenant leaves or a key goes missing, we reset those doors
One Key for Every Door
  • We key compatible locks alike, so one key opens them all
  • You choose which doors share the key, front, back, and garage
Key cutting

Key Cutting and Duplication in Dallas

Are you left with a single key to your home, or need a copy for someone? We cut and copy house keys on the spot, so you have a spare on hand and an emergency backup.
With key cutting and duplication in Dallas, we cut spare house keys, copy the ones you already have, and make a fresh key when the original is worn or bent. We cut every key on site. If you have a high-security or restricted key, we make copies only for someone you have authorized.
Keys We Cut
  • Spare and duplicate house keys cut on site
  • Extra keys for family, roommates, or a cleaner
Worn and Restricted Keys
  • A fresh key cut when the original is worn
  • Restricted and high-security copies, by authorization
Repair and replacement

Lock Repair and Replacement in Dallas

A key that is getting harder to turn, a lever that has worked loose, or a damaged lock? We repair the hardware when it can be saved and replace it when it cannot.
Lock repair and replacement in Dallas keeps the doors of a home closing and locking the way they should. When a lock is forced in a break-in or begins to stick and drag, we repair it quickly for homes across Lakewood and North Dallas, before a small fault becomes a door that will not lock. When a lock is worn beyond a reliable fix, we remove it and fit new hardware matched to the door.
Repairs We Make
  • Sticking and jamming locks freed and adjusted
  • Loose levers, worn cylinders, and faulty latches fixed
  • Locks and doors repaired after a break-in
When Replacement Makes Sense
  • Locks worn or damaged beyond a reliable repair
  • Hardware left behind by a previous owner or tenant
  • An upgrade from a basic cylinder to a stronger lock
New lock installation

New Lock and Deadbolt Installation in Dallas

Need to install a deadbolt, upgrade your outdated hardware, or fit your home with new locks? We install new locks and upgrade the hardware you already have, on a single door or throughout the home.
New lock and deadbolt installation in Dallas covers front doors, back doors, and interior doors, for homes from Uptown to the Design District. We fit the hardware to the door, set it so the key turns smoothly and the door locks securely, and test every lock with you before we leave.
Deadbolts

High-Security Locks

Home security upgrade

Door and Frame Reinforcement in Dallas

When a door is forced, the frame and strike usually give way before the lock does. We strengthen those weak points, so the whole door resists the force, not just the lock.

For door and frame reinforcement in Dallas, we fit heavy strike plates, longer screws that reach the stud, and reinforcement plates that spread the load across the frame. We also repair split jambs, so the frame around the lock is solid again. When a door has dropped or shifted, we realign it so it closes right and the bolt lands where it should, which is what a new deadbolt needs to protect the door.

  • Heavy-duty strike plates fixed into the door frame
  • Door reinforcement plates around the lock and edge
  • Split or damaged jambs repaired and realigned
  • Hinges and screws upgraded to hold the door true
Smart and keyless

Smart Lock and Keyless Entry Installation in Dallas

Have a new smart lock to install, or want to upgrade your home locks to a keyless entry system? We install and program smart and keyless locks for homes across Dallas.
With smart lock and keyless entry installation in Dallas, we set the lock on the door, program the codes, and connect it to the app and your home system, so it runs right from the first day. A smart lock lets you unlock with a code or your phone, give each person their own code, and see when a door was opened. For a rental near Deep Ellum or a home in North Dallas, we can set guest and temporary codes that expire on a schedule.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Locks in Dallas

How much does it cost to rekey a house in Dallas?

The cost depends on how many locks you have, the hardware brand, and whether any are worn and need parts. We quote the full job before we start, so the price is clear before any work begins, and Texas Locksmith Pros gives that quote for free.

Can you rekey my locks without the original key?

Yes. Our technicians can take the cylinder apart and reset it to a new key even when the old key is lost, as long as the lock is in working order. If a lock is seized or damaged, we tell you whether a repair or a new lock is the better call.

Do I need to prove I own the home before you change the locks?

Yes, and it protects you as much as us. Before we rekey or replace a lock, Texas Locksmith Pros asks for a photo ID and proof you live in or own the home, such as a lease or a utility bill. This keeps anyone from changing locks on a property that is not theirs.

Do smart locks still work when the power goes out or the battery dies?

Yes. Smart locks run on batteries, not house power, so a power outage does not lock you out. Most warn you for weeks before the battery runs low, and many keep a physical key or a backup power point, which we show you when we install the lock.

Should I choose a single cylinder or double cylinder deadbolt?

A single cylinder deadbolt uses a key outside and a thumbturn inside, which suits most doors. A double cylinder needs a key on both sides, which helps on doors with glass nearby, though it must stay clear for exit in an emergency. We walk you through which one fits your door before installing it.

Do I need to be home, and how long does the work take?

Someone with authority over the home should be there to let us in and approve the work. Most rekeys and single-lock installs are finished within the visit, while a whole house or a smart-lock setup takes longer. For a home in Deep Ellum or across Dallas, Texas Locksmith Pros confirms the timing when you book.
