We manipulate the internal mechanics of your existing hardware, rendering old keys useless and restoring total access control to your property for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

A standard deadbolt contains a cylinder filled with small brass pins of varying lengths. The correct key pushes these pins to a perfectly aligned "shear line," allowing the cylinder to turn. When we rekey a lock, we remove the cylinder, discard the old pins, and insert brand new pins that correspond to a completely different key pattern. Your old hardware remains on the door, but the old keys will never turn it again. We then provide you with a fresh set of keys.
Do you have a heavy keyring pulling down your pocket? We can streamline your life. We can rekey the front door, back door, garage, and side gates so that one single key opens every lock in your house. For businesses in Center Line, MI, we design complex Master Key Systems, allowing managers a single key to open all doors, while restricting employee keys to only their specific offices or zones.
Standard hardware store deadbolts are highly vulnerable to lock bumping and drilling. If you want to fortify your home's perimeter, we install high-security cylinders (such as Medeco, Schlage Primus, or Mul-T-Lock). These locks feature anti-drill hardened steel inserts, side-bitting pin variations, and restricted keyways, meaning nobody can duplicate your key without your authorized signature card.
Regain total control over who has access to your property. Let our security experts rekey or upgrade your locks today with precision and speed.

"We just bought our first home and wanted to make sure nobody else had a key. They came out the same day we closed, rekeyed all 5 doors to a single key, and charged a very fair price."
"I run a retail store and had to let a manager go. I called them at 6 PM, and they were there by 7 PM to rekey the front doors and the office. Great peace of mind."
"The deadbolt on our front door was constantly jamming. Instead of making me buy a new $150 lock, the technician took it apart, fixed a bent piece inside, and now it works perfectly."
Historically, the land that Center Line came to occupy was swamp and wilderness until the early nineteenth century. As land became scarce, French, German, Belgian, and Irish immigrants began clearing the forests and draining the swamps. Center Line was known as "Kunrod's Corner" during the mid-nineteenth century. The theory is that the French named it "Center Line" because it was the middle of three Potawatomi trails from Fort Detroit to northern trading posts. The "center line" was the trail used from Detroit to Utica. The community received its initial start when Catholics decided to build a church so that they would not have to walk to St. Mary's in Detroit for Sunday Mass. This church (St. Clement's) was established in 1854 and attracted more Catholic settlers into the area. In 1863, the first general store was constructed by Joeseph Buechel. On July 19, 1878, Hieronymous Engelmann was the first postmaster, and he was succeeded in 1885 by Sophia Buechel. The "Centre Line" post office closed on July 31, 1906, and the name was restored to Center Line thereafter. In this era, street car tracks connected Detroit to Center Line along Van Dyke Road, and Ten Mile Road was the final stop of the street car. The village was incorporated in 1925 in the center of Warren Township, which is now the city of Warren, and was incorporated as a city in 1936.
