What we do
What does a residential locksmith do at your house?
Six kinds of job, all done at the door. For most homes in Kapolei that means one visit, not a drop-off.
Deadbolt installs
A new deadbolt on a door that has none, or a worn one swapped out. Strike plate set so the bolt throws fully.
Smart lock installs
Keypad and app locks fitted and lined up. Bring the one you bought, or ask us what suits your door.
House lockouts
Keys inside and the door shut. We open it, and the lock keeps working afterward in most cases.
Lock repair and broken keys
A sticky cylinder, a latch that won't catch, or half a key left in the lock. Fixed or replaced on the spot.
Mailbox lock replacement
Lost the little key, or the lock spins. We fit a new mailbox lock and hand you fresh keys.
How it works
From the call to new keys in your hand
Three steps, priced before we start.
Count the doors
Front, back, garage door, slider. Tell us how many locks and whether they're knobs, deadbolts or keypads.
Get the price
Per lock for rekeys, per install for new hardware. You know the total before we start.
Test every door
We finish the work, then you try each new key in each lock before we leave.
Choosing a lock
Keyed deadbolt or smart lock?
Both lock the door. They differ in how you get in and what can go wrong.
| Question | Keyed deadbolt | Smart lock |
|---|---|---|
| How you get in | A key | Code, app or fob, often a backup key |
| Sharing access | Hand out a copy | Give a code and delete it later |
| Power | None needed | Batteries to change |
| Lost keys | Rekey to shut old keys out | Change the code |
| Best for | Doors you just want locked, simply | Rentals, guests and busy households |
New to the house
Should you rekey after moving into a Kapolei home?
Yes, and it's one of the cheapest security steps you can take. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the old key are out there: past owners, past tenants, a cleaner, a contractor, a neighbor who fed the cat. A rekey changes the pins inside each lock, so every one of those keys stops working while your hardware stays put. In Kapolei that goes for a Makakilo townhome as much as a newer house near Hoopili. Do the front door, the back door and the door from the garage. If they're the same brand, we can key them all to one key.
Renting? Check your lease, then ask your landlord before changing or rekeying locks.
Home lock FAQ
Home lock questions
Quick answers on rekeys, new locks and the rest.
Rekeys start at $85 per lock in Kapolei, so the total depends on how many locks you have. Tell us the count on the phone and you get the full price before we come out.
Usually, yes, when the locks share the same keyway, which mostly means the same brand. If one lock is a different make, we can swap its cylinder so it matches the rest.
Worn or damaged cylinders, some low-cost locks that aren't worth the labor, and some high-security locks whose keys only an authorized dealer can cut. In those cases, replacing the lock makes more sense.
Yes. We fit it, line up the bolt with the strike so it doesn't bind, and check it locks from inside and out.
Yes. We replace the lock on your mailbox door and give you new keys. If it's a shared cluster box, check with your HOA or property manager first.
