Why Using Kwikset Locks

Kwikset is one of the most trusted names in American lock technology. The company is known for producing easy-to-use and cost-effective locks with decent security features. Their SmartKey Security system allows rekeying without removing the lock from the door, which saves time and labor costs.

Advantages:

• Widely available and affordable
• Easy to install and replace
• SmartKey technology for quick rekeying
• Available in a wide variety of styles and finishes

Disadvantages:

• SmartKey locks can be picked with specific tools
• Not as secure as Medeco or high-security systems
• Plastic internal parts may wear faster over time

Still, for most homeowners and commercial offices in Atascocita, Kwikset provides a great balance between cost, usability, and reliability.

Kwikset Lock Rekey

If your Kwikset lock is still in good condition but you want to change the key for security reasons, rekeying may be your best option. Kwikset’s SmartKey system allows rekeying in minutes without disassembling the lock. However, older models or damaged locks may still require professional disassembly and pin replacement.

Rekeying is typically less expensive than a full lock change, and is recommended if you've had a roommate move out, lost a spare key, or just want to update your key access without changing hardware. Expect a locksmith service fee plus a per-lock rekey charge depending on complexity.

Smart Locks

Kwikset offers several smart lock models, ideal for homeowners who want keyless access or remote locking features. There are two categories of Kwikset smart locks:

• Standard Smart Locks: These replace your current deadbolt completely. Models like the Kwikset Halo or Premis offer app control, remote access, and integration with smart home platforms.
• Retrofit Smart Locks: These upgrade your existing Kwikset lock by replacing only the interior mechanism. They preserve the original look of your exterior hardware while adding electronic features inside.

Smart locks are perfect for rental properties, Airbnb units, or families who want to issue digital keys to members or guests. Professional installation ensures proper calibration and security. We also offer support for reprogramming, battery changes, and app syncing.

Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith

Some customers consider changing their own Kwikset locks to save money. While it’s possible with basic tools and instructions, there are clear risks:

DIY:

• May save labor costs
• Good for simple deadbolt or doorknob replacements
• No warranty if incorrectly installed

Professional Locksmith:

• Includes warranty on both parts and labor
• Expert fitting and alignment for proper lock performance
• Diagnosis of door frame issues, strike plate problems, or wear and tear

If you want it done right the first time with no guesswork, hiring a licensed locksmith is always the safer option.
