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.
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.
Don't leave your home security to chance. Contact our local team for professional rekeying and lock installation services.

Plans for the State Normal school were initiated in 1903, and required a year for the State of New Jersey to grant permission to build the school. It was then established as New Jersey State Normal School at Montclair, a normal school, in 1908 approximately 5 years after the initial planning of the school. At the time, Governor John Franklin Fort attended the dedication of the school in 1908, and the school was to have its first principal Charles Sumner Chapin that same year. The first building constructed was College Hall, and it still stands today. At the time, the campus was around 25 acres (100,000 m2), had 8 faculty members and 187 students. The first graduating class, which numbered at 45 students, contained William O. Trapp, who would then go on to win the Pulitzer Prize for journalism in 1929. The first dormitory was then built five years later, in 1915, and is known as Russ Hall.
