Sometimes the honest answer is a full lock change: a cylinder that fights every key, a handle set that no longer matches the door, a break-up where rekeying feels like half a measure. For homes across St. Phillips we replace the hardware, match the finish to what is already on the house and hand over new keys.

The high security page is for homeowners who want to stop thinking about who has a key, and for businesses that need to know exactly. Both get the same honest walk-through of cylinders, strikes, key control and safes, and a recommendation sized to the door.
Layer 1The key
The pharmacy stockroom, the server closet or the cash office is protected by the same ordinary cylinder as the staff washroom. One lost key on a lanyard would open all of them.
Layer 2The cylinder
Someone tried the back door while you were away. The jamb is splintered around the strike, the bolt is bent, and the knob turns with a grinding feel.
Layer 3The bolt and strike
Someone tried the door last winter. The frame took it, but the strike plate is bent, one screw hole is stripped, and the bolt sits in the pocket at a slight angle.
Layer 4The door and frame
They did not get in. The attempt left a screwdriver gouge in the door edge, a strike plate bent outward and a deadbolt that now needs a shove to throw.

Request a visitIt starts the same way and adds one step. The broken blade is removed with extraction tools that grip it and draw it out, rather than pushing it deeper, and then the door is opened normally. A key rarely breaks in a healthy cylinder, so the locksmith checks the pins and springs afterwards and cleans or services the cylinder if wear caused it. A new key is cut from the two halves or from the code, since a weakened copy would snap again.
It can stress it, and it is one of the first things the locksmith looks at. A full-glass storm door on a south- or west-facing entrance can push the air between the doors well above what electronics are rated for on a hot afternoon. The usual answers are a storm door with a vent or screen, swapping to the screen panel for summer, or a model whose maker rates it for that exposure. With that handled, the lock is fine.
Rekeying keeps every lock on the door and changes only the pins inside the cylinder, so a new key works and the old ones stop. Replacing swaps the hardware itself. Commercial cylinders are made to be repinned many times, so rekeying suits any lock in sound condition and leaves the levers, trim and door untouched. Replacement is chosen door by door for cylinders that are worn, corroded or too light for what they protect.
A standalone reader at a single door keeps working during a network or Wi-Fi outage, since it checks its own stored list rather than relying on a live connection. A networked controller generally keeps making local decisions at each door as well, though live updates, remote changes and off-site log access may pause until the connection returns.
