Do I have to go to the dealership? - Nope. We bring the tech to you. Skip the dealer wait, and let us cut, replace, or program your key wherever you are.

Home & Residential Lock Questions

Should I rekey or replace my locks? - If your locks work fine and you're just moving in or lost keys, rekeying is cheaper and just as secure. We change the inner pins so old keys no longer work. If your hardware is old, damaged, or you want to upgrade to smart locks, replacement is the better move.
Do you install smart locks? - Yes. B & P Locksmith installs smart locks from all the major brands. We can even help you set up the app, connect to Wi-Fi, and walk you through how to use it. Great for rentals, Airbnb setups, or tech-savvy homes.
What kinds of locks do you recommend? - For most homes, we like Grade 2 deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, and smart locks with keypad access. Every house is different, so we'll guide you based on your layout and needs.

Business & Commercial Services

Do you handle commercial properties? - Yes. B & P Locksmith works with local businesses, offices, warehouses, restaurants, and retail locations. We offer rekeying, master key systems, panic bar installations, door closers, and break-in repair.
Can you install panic bars and exit devices? - We sure can. Code-compliant exit hardware is required for many public spaces. We install and repair panic bars, push bars, and commercial door closers all over Woodstock.
What's a master key system? - It's a setup where each lock has its own key, but there's also a "master" that opens everything. Perfect for offices or rental properties. We design and maintain these systems to fit your security structure.

Break-Ins, Reinforcement & Lock Repairs

Can you fix my door after a break-in? - Yes. B & P Locksmith offers break-in repair and reinforcement services. We can replace the lock, repair wood or frame damage, and add strike reinforcements or latch guards to make sure it doesn't happen again.
