Our Approach — Practical, Documented, Secure
Every job begins with a clear assessment and ends with verification.

We provide a comprehensive quote before work begins and supply job documentation on completion so you have a record of what was installed or serviced.

Security-First Recommendations
We emphasize layered, practical improvements that measurably increase residence security:
-
Upgrade weak strike plates to a reinforced strikebox and use 3″ or longer screws into framing.
-
Upgrade single-cylinder deadbolts to double-cylinder deadbolts (especially near windows or glass inserts).
-
Add spool/security driver pins to existing locks to improve lockpick and bumping resistance.
- Install one-sided deadbolts (renter’s bolts) or door guardians for extra kick protection and fortification from the inside of the door.
Smart Lock & Electronic Hardware Services
Guardian Safe & Lock installs, configures, and troubleshoots a range of smart locks and electronic access hardware.
Our team will verify compatibility with your door and frame, install the device to factory specifications, connect the lock to your network where applicable, and demonstrate operation for each household user.
For pool and HOA-controlled gates, we provide integrated solutions or referrals to coordinate with property management.
Emergency Lockout Service & Response
Lockouts are urgent. Our residential dispatch handles emergency home lockouts and will prioritize safety and non-destructive entry whenever possible.
When arrival times are provided, technicians will identify themselves and follow a chain-of-custody process to protect homeowners and property.

What should I do if I’m locked out of my home?
If you are locked out, avoid attempting to force the door or open it through unsafe methods. Instead, contact a licensed residential locksmith promptly.
A trained technician will attempt to use non-destructive entry techniques to regain access. In most cases, a trained and professional locksmith technician will be able to gain entry to the residence through these means.
Drilling or destructive entry is a last-case resort that we only attempt when all other options have failed, and only with express consent from the homeowner.
Can a locksmith make new keys if I’ve lost all of mine?
Yes. A residential locksmith can create a new key even if you’ve lost all originals by decoding the lock or using specialized tools to determine the correct key configuration.
This expertise ensures you regain access and maintain security without unnecessary replacements.
Can locksmiths install smart locks and electronic access hardware?
Yes.
Modern residential locksmiths install and configure a wide range of smart locks and electronic hardware, including keyless entry systems that integrate with home automation platforms.
Technicians verify compatibility with existing doors, perform secure installation, and assist with user setup — ensuring the system functions reliably for day-to-day use.
