Many homeowners confuse these two services. Rekeying is when we remove the existing lock cylinder, discard the old pins, and replace them with new pins that match a new key. The old key will no longer work, but you keep your existing hardware. This is cost-effective and perfect for new homeowners. Lock changing is when we remove the entire hardware and replace it with brand new locks. We recommend this when the hardware is damaged, tarnished, or if you want to upgrade the aesthetic or security grade of your locks.
Google Trends data shows a massive spike in homeowners switching to keyless entry. We are experts in smart lock installation. Whether you want a WiFi-enabled deadbolt, a keypad lever, or a biometric fingerprint scanner, we ensure it is installed correctly. Proper alignment is critical for smart locks; if the deadbolt rubs against the strike plate, the battery will drain quickly and the motor may fail. We install it right the first time.
Standard hardware store locks are often vulnerable to "bumping" and drilling. We offer high-security solutions like Mul-T-Lock or Medeco, which feature restrictive keyways (keys cannot be duplicated at a kiosk) and hardened steel inserts to prevent forced entry.
From rekeying to smart locks, we ensure your home is secure. Contact our local team for a professional assessment and service.

Carrier Mills, formerly Carrier's Mills and Morrilsville, also known as Catskin, is a village in Saline County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,672 at the 2020 census. Carrier Mills was named after George Washington Carrier's saw and grist mills, and was one of the early Cairo and Vincennes Railroad boomtowns. Founded as a mill town and then a coal mining community, Carrier Mills has slowly lost 44% of its population since the 1920 census high of 3,000, due to the decline of the local coal industry. The village has primarily become a bedroom community, located seven miles (11 km) southwest of Harrisburg, which is the village's main source of employment, entertainment, and shopping. It is the third largest community in the Harrisburg Micropolitan Statistical Area outside of Eldorado and Harrisburg, and included in the Illinois-Indiana-Kentucky Tri-State Area. Carrier Mills also has a large African American population at 15%, compared to its neighbors, due to migration from the nearby community of Lakeview, the oldest African American settlement in the state of Illinois.
