Change It, Fix It or Fit a New One
Which Job Is It?
Changing a lock can mean a rekey, where the lock stays and the key changes, or new hardware altogether. A repair keeps the lock you have working. An install adds a lock where there wasn’t one. We tell you which your door calls for.
What Goes on the Door
We install and service:
- Deadbolts, Knobs and Levers: Fitted to the door you have and keyed to match your other locks where they’re compatible.
- Keypad and Smart Locks: Installed and set up with your codes. See smart lock installation.
- High-Security Locks: Mul-T-Lock, Schlage Primus and ASSA Abloy. See high-security locks in Allentown.

Why Allentown Calls Us
1. A Straight Answer
If a rekey will do, we say so. If the lock is past saving, we say that too, before anything is replaced.
2. The Hardware Comes With Us
We are a mobile shop. Locks, pins, key machines and drills ride in the van, so the job is finished at your door.
3. Old Doors Are Normal Here
Plenty of Allentown houses have doors older than today’s standard lock sizes. We measure the door and frame first so the new lock sits right. The Allentown locksmith page covers our other work in the city.
4. Small Fixes Count
Not every call needs a new lock. We also handle:
- Latch and Strike Adjustments: For doors that need a shove to lock.
- Sticking Keys: Cleaned, re-pinned or re-cut.
- Loose Knobs and Levers: Tightened or rebuilt.
What Happens When You Call
On the Phone
Tell us how many locks and what they’re doing. We go over the pricing structure and set a time.
At the Door
We look over the lock, the door and the frame, and confirm lawful possession of the property as part of the job.
The Work
Locks are rekeyed, repaired or installed on the spot, and new keys are cut in the van.
Before We Go
You try every key in every lock. Work in Allentown is guaranteed against craftsmanship, and the parts against factory defects.

A Recent Allentown Job: Fixing a Handyman Lock Install
An Allentown homeowner called us after a handyman tried to install new locks on her front door. He left it with blown-out bore holes, a split edge and a latch that barely held. Instead of replacing the whole door, we rebuilt the lock area, fitted solid brass wrap-around reinforcement plates on both sides, and installed a new matching deadbolt and knob. The door locks smoothly again, and that edge is stronger than it was to begin with. If a DIY or handyman lock job left your door damaged, call us before you replace the door.
The Allentown Lock Calls We See Most
Four requests come up again and again:
Just Moved In
Nobody knows how many copies of the old key exist. A rekey settles it. See lock rekeying.
The Deadbolt Sticks
Usually the bolt and the strike no longer line up. An adjustment fixes most of them. See lock repair.
Locked Out by a Failed Lock
We open the door first, then repair or replace what failed. See lockouts in Allentown.
