In many cases, we can quote rekeys and lock changes over the phone with a few quick questions.

Want a stronger door without a full hardware swap?

Ask about upgrading strike screws to 3-inch hardened screws. This can anchor the strike into the framing (studs), not just thin trim — improving resistance against kick-ins.

Pricing & Process

What affects cost (and how we quote)

Every home is a little different. The easiest way to get a clean quote is to tell us your lock brand and how many doors you want serviced. If you can, text a photo of the latch/lock and we’ll confirm the right approach.

Pricing factors for residential work

  • Number of cylinders/doors (front, back, garage entry, etc.)
  • Lock brand + keyway (Schlage/Kwikset/mortise/high-security)
  • Rekey vs. replace (often rekeying keeps your existing hardware)
  • Door alignment issues (strike adjustment, binding deadbolts)
  • Smart lock installs (model, door prep, alignment/testing)
Fast quote tip: Tell us (1) how many doors, (2) brand, and (3) whether you want “one key for everything.”

Residential Locksmith FAQ

Clear answers from a real Nashville locksmith shop. For a quote, call (615) 625-8000.

How much does it cost to rekey a house in Nashville?
Rekeying is often less expensive than replacing hardware. Pricing typically includes a service call plus a per-cylinder cost. If you tell us how many doors and what brand you have (or send a photo), we can usually give a clear quote.
Can you make a key for a lock if I don’t have the original?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the lock type, we may be able to create a new key by decoding the cylinder or using the correct cutting method. Call with the lock brand or send a photo so we can confirm options.
Is it better to buy my own locks or buy them from you?
We can install customer-supplied hardware or supply it. If we supply the lock, it’s easier for us to support the correct parts and handle any manufacturer warranty issues. If you provide the lock, you would typically handle returns or exchanges if a part is defective.
Can you match multiple doors to one key?
Often, yes—if the cylinders and keyways are compatible. If you have mixed brands or different keyways, we’ll tell you what can be keyed alike and what would need to be changed.
Should I rekey when I buy a house?
Most homeowners choose to rekey after closing because you don’t know how many copies of the old keys are out there. Rekeying disables old keys while keeping your existing hardware, when compatible.
How long does a typical rekey take?
Time depends on how many cylinders you have, the lock brand, and whether any locks are worn or misaligned. If you send photos or describe the setup, we can give a realistic estimate.
Can you fix a deadbolt that only turns when I pull the door?
Usually, yes. That symptom often comes from door alignment or a strike plate that’s slightly off. We can adjust the strike/alignment so the bolt throws smoothly without forcing the door.
Do you install smart locks for rentals or Airbnbs?
Yes. We install and align many popular smart locks and can help make sure the bolt throws smoothly to reduce jams. Tell us the brand/model and we’ll confirm compatibility with your door prep.
