The change locks process
What to expect when you call Locks Around the Clock for change locks.
- Step 1
Tell us what you want changed
Let us know how many doors, what is wrong with the current locks, and whether you want an upgrade or a straight swap. You get a clear answer on the phone and same-day service when we can.
- Step 2
We come to you
A licensed technician arrives at your home in a marked service van, stocked with quality deadbolts and door hardware in common finishes so most jobs are done in one visit.
- Step 3
We remove and replace the hardware
We take out the old locks, fit the new deadbolts and locksets to your doors, and make sure everything seats cleanly and lines up with the frame.
- Step 4
We test every door and hand you the keys
We check that each lock throws smoothly, key every new lock so you carry one key if you want, and confirm nothing binds before we leave.
