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 Lathrup Village, 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.

"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."
The city of Lathrup Village is an outgrowth of the development known as Lathrup Townsite, the dream of its developer Louise Lathrup Kelley. In 1923 she purchased a tract of 1,000 acres (4 km2) in Southfield Township, in southern Oakland County, and proceeded to plant a residential neighborhood that encompasses the city of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2). Lathrup Townsite was conceived as a controlled community with rigorous standards, including houses built only of masonry construction; early integration of attached garages; as well as established minimums for construction cost to ensure quality. The community also had housing covenants to prevent the sale of homes to African American families, part of a larger trend in the mid-20th century of racist white Detroiters fleeing to the suburbs to avoid living near black residents (see white flight). As the community developed, Mrs. Kelley implemented numerous innovative directives, including operating a shuttle service to local shopping areas, and allowing the financing of automobiles as part of the financing of houses, which created a stronger connection between the relatively isolated townsite and more established suburbs, as well as the city of Detroit. Mr. Charles Kelley, who had been a real estate writer for the Detroit News, assisted his wife in bringing talented architects to the community to design many of the custom homes that are features of the community. The City of Lathrup Village was incorporated in 1953 as the first incorporated community in Southfield Township. The residents thwarted an attempt by township residents to include Lathrup Townsite in their planned incorporation of the city of Southfield, resulting in Southfield's incorporation being delayed until 1958. Louise Lathrup Kelley played an active role in the new city until her death in 1963, after which her remaining real estate holdings in the city were sold and developed.
