Why call me for locksmith work?
Locksmithing is a unique trade that crosses a lot of disciplines. It’s part mechanical, part troubleshooting, part creative problem solving, and more and more it overlaps with electronics and smart technology too.
After more than 20 years in the trade, there’s not much I haven’t seen, fixed, rekeyed, upgraded, or figured out. I’m especially good at the weird stuff — the sticky doors, the lock that “sort of” works, the mismatched hardware, the security setup that doesn’t feel right, or the custom solution that nobody else wants to touch.

Rekey services
Most of the time, your locks don’t actually need to be replaced. If you just bought a home, had keys go missing, or want to make sure old keys no longer work, rekeying is usually the best value.
I can rekey your locks so you no longer have to worry about old copies of keys floating around, and I can often simplify things so one key works across multiple doors. If replacement or upgraded hardware makes more sense, I can help with that too.

Home, office & auto lockouts
I’ve been doing lockouts for over 20 years and have performed thousands of damage-free openings. For five years as a casino locksmith, guest vehicle lockouts were one of my most common calls, so I got very good at getting people back in quickly and calmly.
Vehicle lockouts are $75 within 10 miles of Hastings, with pricing increasing based on distance.
Security concerns & lock upgrades
Do you have a door that never seems to latch quite right? A lock that feels loose, sloppy, or one hard turn away from failing? Maybe you’re just not confident your current setup is actually protecting your home or office.
I can assess your doors, locks, and hardware, point out weak spots, and recommend practical upgrades — from small improvements to bigger security changes.
Accessibility solutions that make life easier
One of the most overlooked parts of locksmithing is how much it can improve accessibility. Sometimes that means simple changes like easier-to-grip knobs, levers, or custom keys. Other times it means creating a seamless entry experience for someone with mobility challenges or special needs.
I can install smart locks, automate locking, and help create easier entry solutions with things like remote access, automatic locking, and assisted door operation. The goal is simple: make your home easier to live in, without sacrificing safety or security.
