Reviews

What Evanston Neighbors Are Saying

“Moved into a new condo and needed every lock rekeyed same day. They arrived in under an hour and were done in 30 minutes. Price was exactly what they quoted.”
Sarah M.
Downtown Evanston
“Honest pricing and zero pressure. He even key-alike'd my front and back doors so I only carry one key now. Highly recommend.”
Marcus T.
South Boulevard
“Locked-out emergency at 11pm. Friendly tech, fair price, and he rekeyed the deadbolt so I felt safe before he left. Total lifesaver.”
Priya R.
Northwestern Area
“Manage 12 rental units in Evanston — these are my go-to for tenant turnovers. Always on time, always documented, always reasonable.”
David L.
Central Street
“Rekey for our small office. Showed up in branded gear, badge visible, and finished four doors quickly. Super professional.”
Jenna K.
Dempster–Dodge
“Got three quotes — these guys were the most honest and the only ones who didn't try to upsell me on new hardware. Will use again.”

FAQ

Common Rekey Questions

Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work, and we provide a fresh set of keys. It's faster, cheaper, and just as secure as replacing the hardware.
