Interior locks help maintain privacy and control access between rooms. We install and repair locking systems for bedrooms, restrooms, offices, and shared spaces. If you’re replacing interior doors, we’ll ensure your new locks align with your hardware and privacy goals.
Rekeying for Access Changes
Lock rekeying offers a secure and cost-effective option if you’ve lost a key, moved into a new property, or need to restrict access after staff turnover. This process updates the internal mechanism of your existing lock so old keys no longer work.
We also provide keying services that allow multiple locks to operate with the same key, which is useful for simplifying property access without replacing the entire system.

FAQs About Lock Installation and Repair in Chicago
How do I know if my lock needs to be replaced or repaired?
The lock may need full replacement if it is loose, misaligned, or physically damaged. If the lock mechanism still works but you’ve lost keys or need to restrict access, a rekey is often a more affordable option. Our locksmith services include on-site assessments to determine whether repair or lock change is the best solution.
Can you rekey all my locks to work with the same key?
Yes. We can rekey locks to work with a single key, provided they are the same brand and model type. This simplifies access without the need to carry different keys for each door. We can also advise on compatible locksets if you’re installing new hardware.
Do you install smart locks for homes and businesses?
Yes. We install smart locks on both residential and commercial doors. These models can offer features such as keypad entry, smartphone control, and remote access. We’ll make sure the smart lock fits your door and power supply and explain how to use the system effectively.
How long does it take to install a lock?
Most standard lock installations take under an hour. Time depends on factors like door material, hole size, latch placement, and whether the new lock matches the existing cutout. If drilling or extra prep is needed, our locksmiths bring the tools and hardware to complete the job on-site.
What should I do if my lock sticks or doesn’t turn smoothly?
This issue may be caused by debris, alignment problems, or worn internal parts. We recommend having the lock inspected before it fails completely. We can often repair it by cleaning the cylinder, adjusting the latch, or replacing worn components—restoring smooth and secure operation.
Can you install locks on interior doors like bedrooms and bathrooms?
Yes. We provide lock installation for interior doors, including passage and privacy locks for bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices. We ensure proper fit, latch alignment, and door compatibility. If you’re replacing a knob or upgrading to a modern style, we’ll help select the right option.
Can I match a new lock to my existing key?
Yes, if the new lock is from the same brand and series, we can key it to match your current key. This is a convenient way to reduce the number of keys you carry while maintaining access to multiple entry points. Let us know in advance so we can check compatibility before installation.
Do you install locks for commercial properties?
Yes. We work with offices, retail spaces, and other commercial buildings across the Chicago area. We install and replace locks on storefront doors, employee entrances, and utility rooms. We also install models compatible with access control and ADA requirements.
What if my current lock doesn’t meet code or accessibility standards?
We can replace it with compliant hardware that meets ADA and building code requirements. Our team understands which models and mounting positions are approved for commercial use, and we’ll help ensure that access points are secure, functional, and inclusive.
