Home Lockout Service
Getting locked out of your own house is stressful, especially with kids, pets, or groceries waiting. Our technicians can unlock most residential doors without damaging the frame or the lock itself. We carry a full set of picks, bypass tools, and lock manipulation equipment so we rarely need to drill a lock open. If drilling is truly the only option, we will explain why before doing anything, and we always offer to rekey or replace the lock afterward so your home stays secure.
Lock Rekeying
Moving into a new home, breaking up with a roommate, or handing back a rental key are all good reasons to rekey your locks. Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work, without replacing the whole lock. This is usually faster and cheaper than a full lock replacement. Many homeowners in the Hattiesburg area rekey their locks after buying a house on Lincoln Road or in the Timberton area, since you never know how many copies of the old keys are floating around.
Lock Installation and Replacement
Sometimes rekeying is not enough, especially if a lock is old, damaged, or simply not secure enough for your needs. We install and replace deadbolts, knob locks, and high security locks from trusted brands. If you want to upgrade your front door to a Grade 1 deadbolt, or add a lock to a side door that never had one, we can handle the full installation in one visit.
Smart Lock Installation
More homeowners near Hattiesburg are switching to smart locks that open with a code, fingerprint, or phone app. We install keypad deadbolts and smart locks on wood and metal doors, and we make sure the strike plate and door frame are solid enough to support the new hardware. A smart lock is only as good as its installation, so we check the alignment and test it several times before we consider the job finished.

Broken Key Extraction
A key that snaps off inside the lock can happen with old keys or worn locks. Trying to remove it yourself with pliers or tweezers often pushes the broken piece deeper or damages the pins inside. Our technicians use specialized extraction tools to pull the broken key out without harming the lock, so in most cases you will not need a full lock replacement afterward.

Home Security Upgrades
Beyond locks, we help homeowners think through their overall door security. This can include adding a deadbolt to a door that only has a knob lock, reinforcing a door frame that has been kicked in before, or installing security strike plates with longer screws that reach the wall stud. Small upgrades like these make forced entry much harder without changing how your home looks.
