Residential Locksmith
Locks on your home provide both security and increase the value of your home. What is the first thing you touch when you enter your home? Your lock. Locks are your home’s first line of defense against thieves. It’s important that your locks are both visually appealing and effective at thwarting those who want to steal your things. Locks By The Bay stocks and installs a wide variety of locks that are both pleasant to the eye and secure enough for even the savviest of thieves.
Rekey Locks
If you have recently moved to a new home in Baldwin County, you might be surprised to learn who has a key to your home. The previous owner may have given it to the neighbor. Your realtor may still have one on file. If the home was built new, any number of contractors may have a key to your home. If you would like to be the only one with a working key, we can rekey your home to invalidate all of these keys. After we rekey your home, you will be the only one with a working key. If you have multiple buildings or doors that are keyed differently and want the convenience of a single key, make them all work with one key.
Electronic Locks
Many modern homes are being supplied with keypad locks or locks that interface with your mobile device via Bluetooth. These devices provide convenience of entering your home without the use of a key. This also minimizes the possibility of you locking yourself out of your home. These devices can add levels of security to enable access for housekeepers and other service providers to only access your home during specific times. Temporary codes can be supplied for exterminators and other contractors. The possibilities are endless. Locks By The Bay can retrofit your current home with the convenience of an electronic lock. We keep many styles and finishes in stock to match what you currently have.
Locked Out Of Your Home
Have you felt that heart-dropping feeling when you realize you’re locked out of your house? Locks By the Bay will get you back in. Many locks currently being installed in homes by builders are not practical to pick open. A common tactic for those less experienced is to “drill” these locks, ultimately destroying them in the process. We carry the tools and have the experience to open these without any damage. We can often respond to requests for getting you into your home within minutes.
Repairs
We live in a disposable world. Most locks currently available at home centers, including those installed by most home builders, are built to be used and changed after a few years of heavy wear and tear. There are, however, many older locks still in use today that weren’t designed for such a wasteful world. For example, Baldwin brand locks, those installed decades ago, are still in use and are very expensive to replace. Locks By The Bay carries many parts for these locks and have many others available. We can often repair these locks on site and at a fraction of the cost to replace them. We also carry several high-quality brands that are repairable and will offer years of use and appeal.
