Why Bear Trusts Us for Lock Rekeying
You Just Moved In—Who Has Keys?
The sellers, their realtor, old roommates, contractors, cleaners, neighbors with 'emergency' copies—you have no idea how many keys exist.. The only way to know you control access is to rekey.
Lost Keys = Lost Security
Those keys you lost last month?. Someone might find them.. If your address is on your keychain (or findable from your car registration), you have a problem.. Rekeying makes lost keys worthless.
Someone Who Had Access Shouldn't Anymore
Roommate moved out, relationship ended, employee let go.. Asking for keys back doesn't ensure they didn't make copies.. Rekeying is the only way to be certain.
You've Handed Out Too Many Copies
Over the years, you gave keys to family, friends, pet sitters, house sitters, Airbnb guests.... Now you've lost track.. Rekeying gives you a fresh count: you have all the keys.
Contractor or Service Worker Had Access
You gave the renovation crew a key for two months. Are you 100% certain no one made a copy? Rekeying after major work is smart peace of mind. Bear residents call us for exactly this situation.
New Development Security
Bear's growing communities mean new construction with builder-grade locks. New homeowners should consider rekeying or upgrading for better security.

"Our back door was kicked in while we were on vacation. Kwikey replaced both locks and upgraded us to Grade 1 deadbolts. The technician also checked all our other exterior locks and gave us security recommendations. Went above and beyond."
"Needed a panic bar with alarm on our warehouse emergency exit. Kwikey sourced the exact hardware spec our insurance company required and installed it perfectly. The audible alarm works great and the door latches securely from the outside. Very professional crew."
"Locked keys in my truck at the Bear Walmart parking lot at 10pm. Called Kwikey and they had someone there professionally. No damage to my door, professional service. Saved my night!"
Expertly Resolved FAQ: Lock Rekeying
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes.. All our work comes with a workmanship guarantee.. If something we installed or repaired fails due to our work, we'll come back and fix it.. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty.. We stand behind every job.
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. Bear 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.
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home?
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs. We bring professional-grade home security solutions to Bear residents.
Can you reinforce my door frame for better security?
Yes.. A quality deadbolt is only as strong as the frame holding it.. We install reinforcement kits with 3-inch screws that anchor into the wall stud, strike plate reinforcements, and door edge guards.. This dramatically increases kick-in resistance.
