What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

  • Existing knobs, levers and deadbolts rekeyed to a new key when the hardware is in good shape
  • Worn or low-grade locksets and deadbolts replaced with new residential hardware, keyed alike across doors on request
  • Strike plates reset with long screws so a new deadbolt fully throws into the jamb

How it works

  1. Confirm how many doors, whether you have a working key, and whether you want to rekey or replace
  2. Rekey cylinders that are in good condition, or remove and install new locksets and deadbolts
  3. Reinforce strikes, test every key and bolt with the door closed, and hand over all new keys
  4. Referred out: lockouts with no working key, safes, commercial master-key systems and high-security cylinders go to a locksmith; hardwired access control goes to a licensed electrician

What happens next

  • The written scope and price come first; you choose rekey or replace per door before any cylinder is opened.
  • Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
