What We Offer
Rekeying
When we re-key, the door hardware remains the same, we simply “change the key.” Rekeying means changing the pin combination within the lock so that old keys will no longer operate it.
You should have your existing locks rekeyed if you’re moving into a new home, have had your house keys lost or stolen, or want to crack down on who has access to your home.
There are many benefits to rekeying, as opposed to changing out hardware, such as:
- Cost Efficiency: Rekeying is generally more cost-effective than completely replacing the lock. You don't need to purchase new hardware, which can be more expensive and time-consuming.
- Convenience: Rekeying is a relatively quick process that can usually be completed in a short amount of time. It's convenient when you need a prompt solution.
- Key Control: Rekeying allows you to maintain control over who has access to your property. You can be sure that only those with the new keys can enter, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- Customization: Rekeying enables you to standardize all your locks to work with the same key as long as all of the locks are key compatible. This can simplify your life, as you won't need to carry multiple keys for different doors or locks within your home.
- Preservation of Existing Hardware: If you have high-quality locks or hardware that you'd like to keep, rekeying allows you to retain the existing hardware while still improving security.
Maintenance & Repair
Properly maintaining locks goes a long way to ensure the security of your home. With constant use comes wear and tear, so if you start to notice things like keys sticking in a lock or a latch that doesn’t retract all the way making it difficult to get the door open, it’s time to call Unlockit to service your door hardware.
Sometimes, maintenance alone is not enough to resolve lock malfunctions. In those cases, we always attempt to repair the hardware first to provide you with the most cost-effective solution. Our technicians carry many common parts on their trucks in order to conduct repairs on the initial visit. However, if we encounter an issue that is not repairable or requires a unique part that the technician doesn’t have on the truck, our office staff will discuss ordering and replacement options with you.
Lock Installation & Upgrades
We understand the importance of having durable, reliable locks, which is why our technicians specialize in the installation and replacement of all manner of residential hardware. Whether it's a lock malfunction or an interest in lock upgrades that prompts replacement, we will work with you to determine which lock options best suit your needs.
As technology advances and security threats evolve, it's vital to periodically evaluate the functionality of your locks. If your locks are old and not functioning well, it's time to consider upgrading them to improve the security of your home.
Unlockit is proud to service, carry, and install Yale, Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Emtek, Delaney, Callan, and LSDA products.
We also offer the installation of customer supplied locks. If you've purchased a lock you would like installed in your home, but don't want to undertake the hassle of installing it yourself, give us a call at 770.441.0466, and we'll set up an appointment for you.
Keyless Locks
Keyless locks have become a reliable upgrade from their keyed counterparts. Besides the obvious benefit of convenience, keyless locks can also feature wi-fi capabilities, remote access, and entry/exit logs, making it easy to find options that fit your needs.
These user-friendly locks allow you to add or remove user codes as needed, so you can provide temporary codes to pet-sitters, baby-sitters, cleaning services, or repairmen in addition to the frequent use codes given to family and friends.
Keyless locks work much the same way that a normal key lock works. A locking mechanism rotates to engage and disengage the latch. The difference lies in how the mechanism is triggered. For homes, keyless locks typically operate with codes.
Quality keyless locks are made to be durable, so when one is professionally installed by an experienced locksmith, you can be sure the lock is secure.
In order to best utilize your keyless lock, change the factory code your lock comes with once it’s been installed and you begin the set-up process. Also, change your code periodically to ensure wear on the buttons doesn’t give your code away.
Unlockit proudly supplies, services, and installs keyless lock options from Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, Emtek, August, and Level Lock.
