Residential Locksmith Greensboro NC

What do you do when your house doesn't feel secure anymore? Maybe your key sticks. Maybe the lock clicks, but you're not sure it's doing anything. Or maybe you just moved and don't love the idea that someone else might still have a spare.

We get these calls all the time. And we're ready for all of them. We're Locksmith Greensboro NC, your local locksmiths - trusted by families, landlords, new homeowners, and folks who've been in the same house for 40 years.

Locked Out of Your House?

Happens more than people admit. You step outside to grab the mail or check something in the yard, and the wind decides to shut the door behind you. Suddenly you're outside in socks holding a phone at 11PM. We've been there. Well, not in your socks - but we've helped plenty of folks in that exact situation.

We get there quick. No damage to the door. No judgment. Just help.

Is It Worth Rekeying Your Locks?

Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Still yes. If you just moved in, went through a breakup, had roommates come and go, or can't remember who has keys - rekey them. We can usually do it in under an hour and give you one key that works for all your doors.

A woman in Glenwood called us the day after closing on her new house. She said the previous owners were lovely but... you never know. Smart thinking. We rekeyed four locks, gave her two fresh sets, and now she sleeps better at night.

What Type of Locks Should You Use on a Home?

Depends on what you want. Basic knob and deadbolt? We've got solid options. Want a keypad lock you can control from your phone? We install those, too. Not sure what's best? We'll walk you through the good, the bad, and the "why does this even exist" options.

We once helped a couple near Lake Daniel replace their 1970s brass knobs with modern, high-security deadbolts. They said it was the first time in years their door didn't rattle every time the wind blew.

Can You Add a Lock Without Replacing the Whole Door?

Yep. We do that often. People want extra security - say, on a basement door, laundry room entrance, or even a rental space. We'll drill and fit new locks without having to swap the whole frame.

We also fix doors that don't close right, latch weird, or need realignment. One job in Adams Farm was just a matter of tightening the strike plate and filing the edge. Saved the client from replacing a whole door they thought was broken.

Common Things We Get Called For

  • Locked out - front door, back door, garage, you name it
  • Rekeying after moving or a breakup
  • Installing deadbolts or smart locks
  • Securing sliding glass doors and side entrances
  • Fixing locks that stick or spin
  • Replacing old hardware with better stuff

Basically, if it locks, we handle it. And if it doesn't lock when it should, we really handle it.

How Long Does It Take to Change All the Locks?

Depends on how many you have, but most homes are done in under an hour. We carry everything with us - cylinders, screws, plates, fresh keys - so you don't have to go to the hardware store. Just tell us what's going on, and we'll show up ready.

Real Stories From Right Here in Greensboro

"My back door lock jammed completely. Couldn't leave the house. They came in 25 minutes, replaced it, and even checked the other locks just in case. Good people." - Darnell S., Bessemer
"We bought a house and had no clue who still had keys. They rekeyed the place and even helped us pick a better front lock. Felt like talking to a neighbor, not a contractor." - Lisa M., Starmount

Quick Tips to Keep Things Safer at Home

  • Stop hiding keys under the mat. Just don't.
  • Upgrade old deadbolts before they fail. If it feels loose, it probably is.
  • If your key sticks, don't force it - it'll snap. We'll take a look.
  • Sliding glass door? Add a bar or extra latch. Easy fix, big difference.

What Should You Do If You Think Someone Else Has a Key?

Change the locks. Seriously. Even if it's been months. It's not about paranoia - it's about peace of mind. We rekey for this reason all the time. It's fast, affordable, and way better than wondering.

You Deserve to Feel Safe at Home

Your home is your space. Your comfort zone. When the locks don't feel right, it throws everything off. We help you get that comfort back. Whether you need one lock rekeyed or want to upgrade the whole setup, we'll walk you through it without pressure.

We're not here to upsell. We're here to help. That's why so many folks in Greensboro keep our number saved.
