Why Changing Locks
There are many reasons to change your locks in Buda. Maybe your keys were lost or stolen. Maybe you're moving into a new house or office and aren't sure who still has a copy. Or maybe you’re dealing with the aftermath of a break-in and need a full security upgrade. In any case, replacing your locks is a simple way to restore your peace of mind.
Lock Change Buda offers professional lock installation using trusted brands and top-grade materials. From standard deadbolts to advanced smart locks, we carry options for every door and budget. Our locksmiths will help you choose the best solution based on the specific needs of your home or business. We're fast, experienced, and fully mobile across Buda.
Lock Change Vs Rekey
Not all situations require new locks. In many cases, a rekey is enough to block access to old keys. Rekeying involves adjusting the internal pins of the lock cylinder so it works with a new key. It’s faster and usually cheaper than replacing the whole lock, especially if your current hardware is still in good condition.
On the other hand, changing your lock is the better choice if the hardware is worn out, outdated, or if you're upgrading to a different style or level of security. At Lock Change Buda, our locksmith will assess your locks and let you know which option fits your needs best.
Deadbolt Vs Mortise
Deadbolt locks are surface-mounted with the cylinder positioned on the exterior of the door frame. They’re simple, secure, and easy to replace—ideal for homes and basic commercial use. Deadbolts are the most common type of lock we install and rekey across Buda.
Mortise locks, by contrast, are installed inside the door itself. They offer more complex mechanisms and higher strength, often used in commercial buildings or older homes. Mortise locks combine a latch and deadbolt in one heavy-duty unit, but require precision installation by a trained locksmith.
Whether you need a new deadbolt for your back door or want to upgrade your storefront with a mortise system, Lock Change Buda is ready to help with expert installation and product guidance.
Smart Locks
Smart locks are changing how Buda secures its homes and businesses. These locks allow you to unlock doors using a smartphone, keypad, fingerprint reader, or Bluetooth connection. Many support remote access, guest passcodes, and activity logs.
Standard smart locks replace your current lock with a full-featured, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled device. Retrofit smart locks upgrade your existing deadbolt with internal smart components, letting you keep the same exterior hardware while gaining modern control.
Lock Change Buda installs and configures smart locks from all major brands. Whether you’re upgrading a rental unit or securing your own smart home, we make the process simple and seamless.
Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith
DIY lock installation can seem cost-effective, but small mistakes can compromise your security or damage your doors. Improper alignment, loose hardware, or incorrect cylinder placement can cause long-term problems or leave your home vulnerable.
Hiring a professional from Lock Change Buda means the job is done right the first time. We use the right tools, offer expert recommendations, and back all work with a 6-month warranty on parts and labor. No stress, no guesswork.
