How a lock change is done

Where we are straight with you
A lock can only do so much on a bad door or frame. If the real issue is a cracked jamb, a sagging door, or a damaged strike area, we will say so — sometimes the right fix includes carpentry we recommend alongside the new hardware rather than a lock swap alone. Here in North Hills, we say so before we start, not after.
How we keep it straight
Anywhere in North Hills, pick up the phone and we will walk through it before anything is committed.
Before we open a door, start a car or make a key, we confirm you have the right to be there — photo ID plus proof of residence, ownership, or authorization. It protects you as much as it protects us.
Rather than guess at a price online, we look at the lock or vehicle, explain your options, and give you the total up front. You approve it in writing before we start.
Ask us how long and you will get a real answer shaped by where we are and the traffic, not a figure picked to sound good.

Questions people ask
Will you take the old hardware away?
We can remove and dispose of the old locks, or leave them with you if you prefer. Just tell us which you want.
Why won't my door latch even with a new lock?
Often the door or strike is misaligned, not the lock. We check alignment as part of the job so the new hardware actually latches.
