What we help with

Garage Door Locks & Doors That Will Not Open

Locks, handles and side doors are our specialty. We tell you honestly if a job belongs to a garage door company instead.

Garage door locks

T-handle and slide-bolt locks on the garage door itself, deadbolts and knob locks on the side entry door, keypad and smart locks. We repair, replace and rekey them so old keys stop working after a move or a lost key.

  • Lock replacement and installation
  • Rekey the side door to match your house key
  • Keypad and smart lock installation

Locked out or stuck

Locked out of the garage, a handle that spins but will not open, a jammed lock or a broken key in it. Non-destructive entry first, with a photo ID showing the address.

Springs, cables and opener motors are garage door company work. If that is the problem, we tell you on the spot and you only pay the assessment fee.

How it works

The $35 Assessment

Every garage door job is different, so we look first and quote second.

Step 1: We come out and assess

We inspect the door, the lock and the hardware, and explain what is wrong in plain language. The assessment is $35.

Step 2: You get a quote before any work

You get the price before we touch anything. If you go ahead, the $35 is credited toward the job. If you decide not to, you only pay the $35.

Upfront pricing
Alexey was punctual and his price stated was the price at the end. Having dealt with previous locksmiths giving the run around and upping the price when the service was completed, this was very stress free and professional.

Honest work
Super impressed with their fast and honest work. I had an old lock that was sticking and hard to turn. They cleaned it up and made it work like new again. Didn’t try to sell me anything unnecessary.

Fast service
Alex was amazing! He secured a door for us in our Airbnb quickly and efficiently! It looks like we bought it from the store that way!
