Rekeying and Replacement Secure Entry Points

When you request residential locksmith service in Williston, the technician arrives with key blanks, lock cylinders, pin kits, and installation tools that allow rekeying or replacement on-site. You hand over your old keys, and the technician removes the lock cylinder, replaces the internal pins to match a new key code, reassembles the lock, and tests the new key in the door to confirm smooth operation before leaving.

After the work is completed, you hold a set of new keys that operate every rekeyed lock on your property, and old keys no longer work in any door. If you requested lock replacement, you see new deadbolts and knob sets installed with fresh hardware that latches firmly, turns without resistance, and matches the finish and style of your home's exterior or interior trim.

Service covers front and back door locks, deadbolts, knob sets, and lever handles; rekeying for single locks or entire homes; lock repair when internal springs, latches, or pins wear out; and installation of new Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for added security. The technician can also provide guidance on safe installation locations and anchoring methods if you plan to add a residential safe for valuables or documents.

What homeowners ask about lock work and access

Most questions about residential locksmith service focus on whether rekeying is necessary after certain events and how long the work takes to complete.

What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, but the lock hardware stays in place. Replacing a lock means removing the entire lock and installing new hardware, which is needed when locks are damaged or outdated.
How long does it take to rekey all the locks in a house?
Rekeying a standard home with five to seven locks typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. You receive a set of new keys that work in every rekeyed lock, and the technician tests each one before finishing.
Should I rekey my locks after moving into a home in Williston?
Yes, rekeying is recommended after any move because you do not know how many copies of the old keys exist. Rekeying ensures that only your new keys will open the doors.
Can you fix a deadbolt that is hard to turn or sticks?
Yes, sticking deadbolts are often caused by worn internal pins, lack of lubrication, or misaligned strike plates. The technician disassembles the lock, replaces worn parts, realigns the strike, and tests the deadbolt to confirm smooth operation.
Do you install safes or just work on door locks?
Bakken Locksmith provides support for home safe installation, including placement recommendations and anchoring assistance. If you need a safe opened, serviced, or relocated, that work is handled under safe services.
