Rekeying vs. Changing Locks

Many homeowners assume they need to replace their locks to change the key. This is often unnecessary. Rekeying is a process where we remove the lock cylinder, discard the old internal pins, and insert new pins that match a fresh key. The old key will no longer work, but you keep your existing hardware. This is a cost-effective way to secure a new home or restrict access after a roommate moves out.

Smart Lock Integration

Keyless entry is the future of home security. We specialize in smart lock installation. Proper alignment is critical for these devices; if the bolt rubs against the frame, the battery drains rapidly and the motor can fail. We install the lock, align the strike plate perfectly, and help you integrate the device with your WiFi or Z-Wave home automation system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I rekey my new house? Yes. You have no way of knowing who has a copy of the old key—contractors, neighbors, or previous owners. Rekeying ensures you are the only one with access.
Can you make one key work for all doors? Yes. If your locks share the same keyway (brand profile), we can rekey them all to a single master key, eliminating the need for a bulky keychain.
What is a "bump-proof" lock? Lock bumping is a technique burglars use to open standard locks. We can install high-security cylinders with sidebars or specialized pins that are resistant to bumping and picking.
Do you install deadbolts on doors without them? Yes. We perform fresh installations, drilling the necessary holes in the door and frame to add a deadbolt for added security.
How long does it take to rekey a house? It depends on the number of locks, but typically we can rekey an average-sized home in 1 to 2 hours.Call for a free estimate

Vernon Hills, IL Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

The land that was to become Vernon Hills, founded by Richard Theodore Freese, Ron Freese, and Jim Carswell, began with the establishment of a 200-acre (0.81 km2) farm in 1857. Use of the land remained relatively static until the 1960s, when part of it was purchased for a residential community and golf course; the development was the first use of the name "Vernon Hills." On June 16, 1958, the village officially incorporated with 123 residents and 125 houses in a single subdivision built by Quinn Hogan and Barney Loeb. During these times, the village and police department were run from a local motel until 1971 when village trustees bought two portable buildings. It saw steady but slow growth until the annexing of a plot of land near the corner of IL-60 and IL-21 in 1971, which led to the building of 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) Hawthorn Center. By 1980, the village's population had grown to almost 10,000 residents, and by 2000, it had surpassed 20,000.
