How We Restore Access Safely and Quickly

When you call, we ask a few quick questions about your lock and situation to send the right tools the first time. Our locksmith arrives, inspects the lock type, and checks for damage before touching anything. Non-destructive entry comes first, since picking or bypassing a lock protects the hardware and your wallet. Only when that’s not possible do we consider drilling.

Once you’re back inside, we test the lock to confirm it works the way it should, not just that it opens. We check the strike plate, alignment, and hardware condition, since a lock can fail again if something nearby is loose. If rekeying or replacement makes sense for your situation, we explain the options on the spot, in plain language.

Reach out any time, day or night, if you need your lock fixed by the best locksmith in Cheney, Spokane County.

Rekeying vs. Changing Locks: Which Is the Better Option?

Rekeying changes the inner pins of your lock so old keys stop working, while a new key takes over. Changing the lock replaces the hardware, which costs more but is often the better option if the lock is damaged, outdated, or no longer secure enough. The table below compares common situations to help you decide which service is the better fit:

Rekey Your Lock When

  • You moved into a new home
  • You lost a key, but the lock still works
  • A roommate or employee no longer needs access
  • You want one key for multiple locks
  • You need new keys without replacing the lock

Change Your Lock When

  • The lock is damaged or broken
  • You're upgrading to a smart or high security lock
  • The lock was damaged during a break-in
  • The lock was damaged during a break-in
  • Keys stick, jam, or no longer work reliably

We help you decide by inspecting your existing lock, checking its condition, and explaining whether rekeying or replacement is the better choice. You’ll receive clear recommendations based on your security needs, the lock’s condition, and the most practical long-term solution.

  • fast service
  • local company
  • we've handled all of it

Is Rekeying Cheaper Than Replacing a Lock?

In many situations, yes. Rekeying usually costs less because the existing lock hardware stays in place while the internal pins are changed to work with a new key. However, replacing the lock is often the better investment when the hardware is damaged, outdated, or no longer provides the level of security your property needs.

Common Causes of Lock Failure and How to Prevent Them

01.

Worn-out Pins: Metal pins inside a lock wear down after years of daily use, causing keys to stick or turn with extra force. Swapping worn parts before they fail completely can save you from an unexpected lockout.

02.

Rust and Corrosion: Moisture and weather exposure lead to rust building up inside the lock cylinder, especially on exterior doors. A yearly application of graphite or silicone lubricant keeps moving parts free and slows down corrosion.

03.

Broken Keys: Old, bent, or weakened keys can snap off inside the lock, especially if you’re forcing a stubborn turn. Replacing worn keys early and never forcing a lock that resists saves you from a snapped key emergency.

04.

Loose or Misaligned Strike Plates: When a door frame shifts or settles, the strike plate no longer lines up with the bolt, putting stress on the lock every time you use it. Checking and tightening the strike plate twice a year keeps the whole system working as it should.

05.

Break-in Damage: Attempted break-ins can bend the cylinder or crack the housing, even when the intruder doesn’t get inside. Upgrading to a high security lock after any break-in attempt closes the gap before it’s tested again.

Other warning signs include:

  • Keys becoming difficult to insert or remove
  • A deadbolt that doesn't fully extend
  • Loose door handles or lock cylinders
  • A key that only works after repeated attempts
  • Electronic locks responding inconsistently

Ignoring these problems often leads to complete lock failure at the most inconvenient time. Notice any of these signs? Schedule a lock inspection before a small issue becomes a bigger problem.
