Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to rekey a house in Dunwoody, GA?
The price scales with the number of locks and the hardware involved — Dunwoody homes with original 1970s–80s hardware sometimes need parts that newer locks don’t. Count your exterior doors, call, and you’ll have a firm quote in minutes.
Can you open my door without ruining the lock?
Almost always. Non-destructive entry is the default; drilling is a last resort you’d be warned about first, typically only needed on failed or high-security hardware.
Do you install smart locks, and which brands work best?
Yes — installation and setup of the major keypad and app-controlled deadbolts. The right pick depends on your door, your Wi-Fi setup, and whether you want keyless-only or a keyed backup; the technician can walk you through it on-site.
My condo has an HOA — can you still change my locks?
Generally yes for your unit’s own door, though some associations have hardware or finish rules. Check your covenants or ask the technician to match the existing look so there’s nothing to dispute.
How fast can someone reach a Dunwoody home lockout?
Depends on the hour and where technicians are positioned — dispatch gives you an honest arrival window for your address before you commit.
