It happens to almost everyone at some point. You step outside to grab the mail, let the dog out, or unload groceries, and the door clicks shut behind you.

Lock Change Services: When Your Old Lock Has to Go
Sometimes a lockout isn’t the problem, your existing locks are. Whether your locks are worn down, outdated, or compromised after a break-in attempt, keeping them in place puts your family at risk. A lock change is one of the smartest, most cost-effective security investments you can make.
At Scottsdale Lock & Key, we recommend a lock change in situations like these:
- You recently moved into a new home — You never know how many copies of the previous owner’s key are floating around.
- After a breakup, divorce, or roommate change — When someone who had key access leaves on bad terms, don’t take chances.
- Following a break-in or attempted break-in — Your existing hardware may be damaged or have weaknesses that were exploited.
- Lost or stolen keys — If you can’t account for where your keys are, it’s time to change the locks.
- Old or corroded locks — Locks that are difficult to operate are a security liability and a daily inconvenience.
Our team carries a wide selection of quality lock brands and hardware, so you’re not stuck with a one-size-fits-all solution. We’ll help you choose the right lock for your door, budget, and security needs.
New Lock Installation: Upgrade Your Home Security the Right Way
If you’re building a new home, adding a door, or simply ready to step up your security game, professional lock installation ensures the job is done correctly from the start. A poorly installed lock, even a high-end one, can fail when you need it most. Proper installation isn’t just about turning a screw; it involves precise alignment, correct strike plate placement, and making sure everything operates smoothly for years to come.
At Scottsdale Lock & Key, we install a full range of residential lock options, including:
- Traditional keyed deadbolts and entry sets
- Smart locks and keypad entry systems
- High-security lock cylinders
- Sliding door and patio door locks
- Garage entry door locks
Not sure which type of lock is right for your home? Our team is happy to walk you through your options and help you make an informed decision based on your specific doors, lifestyle, and security priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Scottsdale Lock & Key respond to a home lockout in Phoenix?
Scottsdale Lock & Key prioritizes fast response times for home lockout calls throughout Phoenix and the surrounding Valley. While exact arrival times can vary based on location and time of day, our goal is always to get to you as quickly as possible so you’re not left waiting outside longer than necessary.
How much does a lock change or new lock installation typically cost in the Phoenix area?
Costs can vary depending on the type of lock, the number of doors, and whether you’re replacing existing hardware or doing a fresh installation. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to call Scottsdale Lock & Key directly, as we can walk you through your options and provide pricing based on your specific situation and budget.
Can Scottsdale Lock & Key rekey my locks instead of replacing them entirely?
Rekeying is a great option when your lock hardware is still in good condition but you need to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It’s generally more affordable than a full lock change, and a professional locksmith can advise you on whether rekeying or replacing is the better choice for your situation.
Are smart locks a good choice for Phoenix-area homes, and do you install them?
Smart locks offer real convenience, letting you lock and unlock your door remotely, set temporary access codes, and track entry activity, all useful features for busy households. Scottsdale Lock & Key installs a variety of smart lock and keypad entry systems, and we can help you choose a model that fits your home and lifestyle.
What should I do if my key breaks off inside the lock?
Avoid trying to force the broken key out yourself, as this can push it deeper or damage the lock cylinder. Call a professional locksmith like Scottsdale Lock & Key, as we have specialized tools to safely extract broken keys without causing unnecessary damage to your lock or door hardware.
