Residential Locksmith Services Provided by CS Lock and Key

We offer a wide array of Residential Locksmith services, each aimed at enhancing home security or assisting with lock-related issues. Here are some of the primary services provided:

Lock Installation and Replacement: One of the most common services offered is the installation of new locks or the replacement of old ones. Whether it's a homeowner moving into a new house or someone upgrading their security, locksmiths assess the type of lock needed and install it professionally. The choice of locks can vary from traditional deadbolts to more sophisticated electronic systems.

Lock Repair: Over time, locks can wear out, keys may break inside them, or mechanisms may become misaligned. Locksmiths are skilled at diagnosing these issues and performing the necessary repairs to restore the functionality of the lock. Repairing a lock is often more cost-effective than replacing it entirely, making this a valuable service for homeowners.

Key Duplication and Cutting: Creating duplicate keys is a service many homeowners require, whether for family members, guests, or in case of lost keys. Locksmiths are adept at precision key cutting, ensuring that duplicates work just as well as the original keys. Additionally, locksmiths can also create new keys for locks that no longer have their original key—a process known as rekeying.

Rekeying Locks: Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of a lock so that it can work with a new key while still retaining the original lock mechanism. This is often done for security reasons, such as when keys are lost or when moving into a new residence. It’s an economical alternative to replacing the entire lock system.

Emergency Lockout Assistance: Getting locked out of one's home is an inconvenient and sometimes dangerous situation. Whether due to lost keys or malfunctioning locks, locksmiths are trained to gain entry without damaging the door or lock. They can unlock almost any door using specialized tools and techniques that avoid destructive methods.

Home Security Assessments: We don’t just work with individual locks; We offer comprehensive home security assessments. We can identify vulnerabilities in a home's security system and recommend improvements. 

Smart Lock Installation: With the advent of technology, many homeowners are now opting for smart locks that can be controlled via smartphones or other devices. Locksmiths play a crucial role in installing and configuring these systems, ensuring they function smoothly and securely. They also offer advice on the best systems for different types of residences.

🏠 Residential Locksmith FAQ – Your Questions, Answered

Q: I just moved into a new home. Should I change the locks?
A:
Yes! Even if the previous owner turned in all their keys, there’s no way to know who else might still have a copy. We recommend rekeying or replacing your locks as a simple, affordable way to secure your new space.

Q: What’s the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
A:
Rekeying means we change the internal pins in your existing lock so old keys no longer work. Replacing involves removing the entire lock and installing a new one. Rekeying is usually more cost-effective if your current hardware is in good shape.

Q: Are smart locks really secure?
A:
Yes! When installed correctly, quality smart locks are just as secure as traditional deadbolts—plus they add convenience with keyless entry, remote access, and activity tracking. We can help you pick the right one for your home.

Q: Can you help if I’m locked out of my house?
A:
Absolutely. We offer fast, damage-free lockout services—no questions asked. Just give us a call and we’ll get you back inside quickly and safely.

Q: Do you install deadbolts?
A:
Yes! Deadbolts are one of the best ways to improve home security. We install single and double-cylinder deadbolts and can recommend the right option based on your doors and needs.

Q: How do I know if my locks need repair or replacement?
A:
If your lock is sticking, loose, or difficult to turn, it might just need a simple repair. But if it’s damaged or outdated, replacement could be a better long-term solution. We’re happy to take a look and give honest advice.

Q: What areas do you serve?
A:
We proudly serve Southeast Michigan—including Monroe, Lenawee, Washtenaw, Wayne, and Lucas counties.
