Expertly Resolved FAQ: Lock Installation
How often should I rekey my locks?
Rekey whenever someone who had a key no longer should — after moving in, after a break-up, when a tenant leaves, or if keys are lost.. There's no fixed schedule.. If you're unsure who has copies of your keys, it's time to rekey.
Does lock installation require drilling new holes?
It depends on your door.. If replacing an existing lock, usually no new holes are needed.. For new installations, we drill precise holes that won't weaken your door.. We also check that your door jamb is properly reinforced.
Are your locksmiths background checked?
Yes, every technician undergoes a thorough background check before joining our team.. We also carry full insurance.. You're trusting us with access to your home or business—we take that responsibility seriously.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekeying is a precision procedure that alters the internal logic of your lock cylinder, rendering old keys useless while maintaining your existing hardware.. We recommend replacement only if your hardware is structurally compromised, mechanically fatigued, or if you require an upgrade to high-security or smart-locking platforms.
What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks?
These locks have special pin configurations that defeat common lock-picking techniques. Brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are excellent options. We recommend them for front doors and any entry visible from the street. Oxford families choose us for dependable home security service.
What lock options are best for homes with small children?
We recommend locks with interior thumb-turns (no key needed to exit — critical for fire safety), child-proof deadbolt covers for curious toddlers, and smart locks with auto-lock features.. We can also install chain guards at adult height for additional interior security.

We Install It Right the First Time
A great lock poorly installed is a security liability. Misaligned deadbolts don't fully engage. Loose strike plates can be kicked in. Smart locks with wrong positioning don't read correctly. Our technicians understand the details that make locks actually work—proper depth, correct backset, solid frame attachment. You get security that functions, not just hardware hanging in your door.
Which Lock Should You Choose?
The right lock depends on what you're protecting. For front doors, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt provides serious resistance against forced entry. For interior doors, passage or privacy knobs are appropriate. For rental properties, consider smart locks with temporary access codes for tenants. And for maximum security, high-security brands like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock offer pick-resistant and bump-resistant protection that standard hardware simply can't match.
