A key that turns and nothing happens, a door that closed behind you, glass on the floor of the back porch. Emergency calls begin with a plain question about who is standing at the door and end with that door locking properly again.
Change or rekey
A home has a rhythm: school runs, dog walkers, cleaners, grown children with old keys. Our residential work fits the locks to that rhythm, whether that means a single rekey, a keypad for the side door or a full set of matching deadbolts.
Mordolphin
We treat the whole door in Mordolphin, not just the cylinder. Hinges that have sagged, a strike plate held by short screws, a frame that has moved with the seasons: these decide whether a lock holds, and they are checked on every visit. Sometimes the right advice is a longer screw and a shim rather than a new lock, and we say so.

Older frames and newer frames fail in different ways. Settled wood pulls strikes out of line; new framing settles as it dries. A locksmith used to a mixed area recognises which he is looking at and adjusts accordingly.

Home Lockout Service
You reached the front step with the groceries, patted every pocket twice, and the house key is simply not there. It was on the ring this morning. Now the door is locked, the lights are off, and nothing you have on you opens it.
Home Lockout ServiceA key that spins freely without moving the bolt usually means the connection between the cylinder and the bolt has failed: the tailpiece or cam at the back of the cylinder has broken or slipped, or the internal parts of an older mortise lock have worn. The good news is that this is a hardware fault rather than a lost key, so once the door is opened the fix is a repaired or replaced cylinder and your keys keep working.
An interchangeable core is a small, self-contained cylinder that slides out of the lock with a special control key and drops back in on a new combination. Look at the keyway: a figure-eight shaped face on a lever or mortise housing is the usual sign. Buildings choose them because a lost key or a staff change is handled by swapping the core rather than taking the lock apart, and a locksmith can carry cores pinned to your system.
Many electronic locks support more than one user code, so a manager and one or more backup employees can each be set up separately during the same visit rather than sharing a single combination. A mechanical dial only holds one combination at a time, so multiple access there means agreeing who holds it and how that changes when staff do.
They come from two different kinds of tests, and burglary ratings are not all one kind either. Some are timed in minutes, measuring how long a trained attempt with real tools takes to force the door open; others are construction classifications based on steel thickness rather than a timed attack. A fire rating is measured in hours, from a furnace test tracking how hot the interior gets while the outside reaches roughly 850 to 1,000 degrees Celsius. A high number on one says nothing about the other.
Many existing cylinders can join a new hierarchy as they are, once their keyway and condition are confirmed compatible. Others, particularly older or mismatched hardware, are replaced so the whole system pins cleanly without cross-keying. The assessment identifies which doors fall into each group before any work begins, so the plan reflects what is actually on the property rather than assuming everything needs to change.
