How Your Lock Change Quote is Determined
Our $49 service call brings a technician to your Logan Circle location to assess your specific needs. This fee covers the expert evaluation of your existing hardware and door condition. During this visit, you will receive a precise, itemized quote for the entire lock replacement job.
This approach means you approve the exact cost before we proceed with the work or send a service vehicle from our Greenbelt, MD, dispatch base. The starting price for a residential lock change is $120, which is in addition to the initial service call charge.
Beyond Just Replacing Hardware: A Comprehensive Service
Many issues attributed to "failed" locks are actually symptoms of a misaligned door, worn strike plate, or a weak door frame. Before any new hardware is installed, our technicians carefully inspect the door's alignment, the existing strike plate, and the jamb integrity. A high-security deadbolt performs poorly if it is fitted into a hollow or soft door frame.
We address these underlying mechanical issues first, ensuring the new lock operates optimally and provides the intended level of security. This includes checking door gaps and hinge stability, as these factors directly impact a lock's longevity and effectiveness against forced entry.
Matching Your Security Needs and Aesthetic Preferences
Whether you need to replace a worn-out knob, upgrade a deadbolt, or install a new lever, we ensure the hardware matches your door's finish and security requirements. We offer options from Grade 1 commercial-rated deadbolts to standard residential Grade 2 hardware. If you prefer, we can rekey your new locks to work with your existing keys, reducing the number of keys on your keyring.
Our service includes full replacement of components like mortise bodies or storefront cylinders if needed. We prioritize non-destructive entry methods if access is required for the change, and drilling is always a disclosed last resort, ensuring your property is handled with care.
