Want a stronger door in under 10 minutes?
Ask us about upgrading your strike screws to 3-inch hardened steel. This anchors your deadbolt into the house frame (studs), not just the thin door trim, preventing kick-ins.
We are a real, licensed shop on Thompson Lane. From emergency lockouts to high-security hardware upgrades, trust Armstrong Locksmith to secure your home.
Real Shop • No Drill Entry (Lishi)
Armstrong Locksmith provides professional home security services from our Nashville storefront. Whether you just bought a home in Green Hills, need a rekey in East Nashville, or want to upgrade to smart locks in Brentwood, we provide transparent pricing and expert hardware installation.
| Service | Best For... | Why Choose Us? |
|---|---|---|
| Lock Rekeying | New homeowners / Lost keys | We change the pins, not the hardware (often saves you money). |
| Lock Change | Damaged locks / Style upgrades | We install high-security Schlage and Kwikset hardware. |
| Smart Locks | Convenience / AirBnB | Professional alignment to help prevent “motor jam” errors. |
| Emergency Entry | Locked out of the house | Non-destructive entry using Lishi precision tools (in many cases). |

Most “locksmiths” you find online are call centers. We are a physical Nashville business. Our approach focuses on real security details that affect daily use and break-in resistance.
New homeowner in Green Hills needed all exterior doors rekeyed. We matched multiple cylinders to a single key for convenience.
Result: One key for the whole house, old keys permanently disabled.
Ask us about upgrading your strike screws to 3-inch hardened steel. This anchors your deadbolt into the house frame (studs), not just the thin door trim, preventing kick-ins.
We focus on correct fit, correct hardware, and smooth daily use — so your lock works like it should, not just “installed.”
1) Expert Lock Rekeying (The “Move-In” Special)
If you just moved, don’t buy all new handles. We can rekey your existing cylinders so old keys no longer work.
💡 Pro-Tip: We can often match to one key if keyways are compatible (example: Schlage C-keyway).
2) Smart Lock & Deadbolt Installation
We take the guesswork out of Schlage Encode, Yale, and Nest installs with proper door alignment and smooth bolt throw.
⚠️ Common issue: DIY installs fail when the door isn’t aligned, causing motor strain. We adjust the strike for smooth engagement.
3) High-Security Hardware Upgrades
Upgrade to ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts designed to resist bumping, picking, and drilling. Finishes available: Matte Black, Satin Nickel, Aged Bronze.
We recommend hardware based on your specific door material and existing prep.
If the bolt is rubbing against the strike plate, you shouldn't have to “pull the door tight” to lock it. This friction kills smart lock batteries and motors. We fine-tune the strike so your lock can throw cleanly every time.
