"I was looking for a reliable locksmith company to rekey 3 locks to get a better control over the access to my house in Houston texas. I called home advisor and they matched me with okey dokey locksmith. Tech arrived in few mins equipped with all the rekeying and lock picking tools and all locks were re-keyed to fit a brand new key. I even checked and the old key was disabled. Fast and friendly technician did a great job. Worth every penny"

"My locksmith was extremely efficient, friendly and flexible with his time. I fully expected to have to wait for 24 hours but he was able to help me the same day, just a few hours after my request. It took all of 5 minutes for him to complete the service. I really couldn't ask for more. I can't rave enough about the service. I will call him every time I need a locksmith for anything. I highly recommend this locksmith."

"The company I would have hired called me immediately. However, we decided to do a temporary repair and wait on the locksmith till a little later. Thank you for the great referral. I think they would have been a great source had I decided to go ahead with the repair."

Start by searching a trusted directory for locksmiths in your area and reading recent customer reviews. Confirm that each candidate holds state-required licenses, maintains active insurance, and is a member of professional groups such as ALOA. Before you schedule, ask for a written estimate, proof of credentials, and references. Finally, verify the company’s physical address (not just a P.O. box) and check that the technician arrives in a marked vehicle and uniform.
Door locks must be replaced immediately when key security is compromised. Replace your locks when moving into a new home, after any burglary or attempted break-in, or when you lose a key that reveals your address. This practice strictly prevents unauthorized access and maintains a secure environment by ensuring that only trusted individuals have access to your home.
Rekeying a lock requires 10 to 15 minutes per unit when performed by a skilled professional. This efficient process resets the lock’s internal pins to work with a new key, rendering all previous keys ineffective. Rekeying offers a fast and secure solution that enhances your home security without disrupting your daily routine.
Security starts before the locksmith turns the first screw. Ask the dispatcher for the technician’s name, company ID, and arrival time, then confirm that information at the door. Once the job is done, request an itemized invoice and test every repaired lock yourself. Keep any old hardware or keys the professional removes and ensure they are either left with you or destroyed, so no surplus keys are left behind.
