Hometown's #1 Trusted Locksmith

Hometown Locksmith — Built in the Fifties, Still on the Original Locks, and Finally Ready to Change That

Hometown was named to say exactly what it is — a place where people landed after the war, bought a bungalow, and stayed. The housing stock reflects that: block after block of 1950s and 1960s ranches and bungalows, many still in the same families, most with locks that have never been touched since the builder installed them. A village this compact and this settled doesn't see a lot of turnover, which means it also doesn't see a lot of proactive lock service. We do. Whether it's a cylinder that's finally worn past reliable use, a key that broke off in a door, or a homeowner who just decided after fifty years that maybe it's time to rekey — we're usually on-site in about 25 minutes, flat rate quoted before we leave.

A woman called us after the key broke off in the back door of her parents' Hometown bungalow — the house they bought in 1958 and where she grew up, the house she'd taken over after they passed. The lock was original to the house. It had never been replaced, never been rekeyed, never been serviced in any way. We extracted the broken shank without drilling, looked at the cylinder, and told her it was the builder hardware — original pins, original tolerances, sixty-plus years of use. She'd never thought about it. We replaced it, rekeyed it to two new keys, and mentioned the front door lock was in similar shape. She had us do that one too. Before we left she asked if we could come back for the garage.
