The short answer
Residential Locksmith, explained
A residential locksmith rekeys, repairs, replaces and upgrades the locks on a home. In McKinney, the two most common calls are a whole-home rekey after closing on a house, and a lockout. Both are usually finished in a single visit — most rekeys take 20 to 40 minutes depending on how many doors you have.
If you just closed on a house in Stonebridge Ranch or picked up keys to a rental off Eldorado, you have no idea how many copies of that key are floating around. The builder had one. The last owner’s cleaner had one. Somebody’s cousin had one for the summer they house-sat. Rekeying is the cheapest hour you will ever spend on your house.
We rekey on site. That means we take your existing hardware apart in your driveway, change the pin stack, and hand you new keys — no ripping out the door hardware you paid for, no ordering parts, no second trip.
