Residential Locksmith Services

Complete Home Security Solutions

Your home's security starts with its locks — and not all locks are created equal. At 3 Locksmiths, our residential unit specializes in engineering home security systems that go beyond a simple deadbolt. We assess your property's vulnerabilities, recommend the right hardware for each entry point, and install everything to manufacturer specifications for maximum protection.

Whether you've just moved into a new home and need every lock rekeyed, you're upgrading to smart locks for keyless entry, or you want a comprehensive security audit after a neighborhood break-in, our licensed locksmiths have the expertise to protect what matters most. We work with all major lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Yale, and August smart locks.

Every residential service call includes a free security assessment of your entry points. We'll identify weak locks, vulnerable strike plates, and potential entry methods that burglars exploit — then recommend the right upgrades for your home. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their current locks can be bypassed in seconds with simple techniques like lock bumping or picking.

Rekeying vs. Replacing Locks — Which Is Right?

If you've just moved into a new home, the first thing you should do is rekey or replace every exterior lock. You have no way of knowing who still has copies of the old keys — previous owners, tenants, contractors, neighbors, or real estate agents. Rekeying is the fastest solution: we replace the internal pin tumbler configuration so old keys no longer work, then cut new keys for you. The lock hardware stays in place — far faster than full replacement.

Replacing locks entirely is recommended when your current locks are low-grade, damaged, or outdated. Builder-grade locks that come standard on new homes are often easy to bypass — upgrading to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt dramatically improves your security. We can also upgrade to high-security cylinders that resist picking, bumping, and drilling.

Not sure which you need? Our locksmiths will inspect your existing locks and give you an honest recommendation. We never push unnecessary replacements — if rekeying solves your problem, that's what we'll recommend.

Smart Lock Installation & Integration

Smart locks are one of the most popular residential security upgrades — and for good reason. They eliminate the need for physical keys, let you grant temporary access to guests or service providers, and send alerts when your door is locked or unlocked. Our locksmiths are certified installers for all major smart lock brands including August, Yale, Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, and Google Nest × Yale.

We don't just install the lock — we configure the app, set up user codes, integrate with your smart home system (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit), and walk you through every feature before we leave. If you're not tech-savvy, don't worry — we'll make sure you're comfortable using your new system.

For maximum security, we recommend pairing smart locks with a reinforced strike plate and a Grade 1 deadbolt. Electronic locks are convenient, but the physical hardware still matters. Our security audit will identify whether your door frame and strike plate can withstand a forced entry attempt.
