Lock Change Done Right the First Time
A lock change is the surest way to know exactly who can open your door. Alameda Locksmiths replaces worn, damaged or outdated locks on front doors, back doors, garage entry doors and gates across Alameda. We carry knob locks, lever handles and deadbolts from trusted brands in finishes that match older Bay Area homes as well as new construction.
Common reasons customers change locks include moving into a new home, ending a rental agreement, a break-in attempt, a divorce or roommate change, or a lock that simply sticks and grinds after years of salt air near the water. We remove the old hardware, adjust the strike and latch so the door closes smoothly, and hand you a full set of new keys. Many customers combine this with our Deadbolt Installation service and our Security Consultation service.
If the existing lock is in good shape and you only want the keys to change, we may recommend rekeying instead, which costs less. We explain both options honestly and let you decide.
