When your front door will not open, your keys disappear, or a lock starts sticking, it is not just annoying. It is a security problem. Express Locksmith Houston provides fast, professional residential locksmith service across Houston, TX for lockouts, rekeying, lock replacement, and home security upgrades.
If you just moved, had a breakup, lost keys, or are dealing with a worn lock that feels unreliable, we can secure your home the right way. For urgent help any time of day, see our emergency locksmith services.
24 Hour Emergency Residential Locksmith Service
Lockouts happen at the worst times. Late nights, early mornings, kids locked inside, keys locked in the house, or a deadbolt that suddenly refuses to turn. We provide 24 hour residential locksmith service throughout Houston with a focus on fast arrival, clean work, and safe entry.
If your lock is damaged, misaligned, or failing, we can also repair or replace it during the same visit so you are not left with a door that barely closes. If you are comparing options and want to avoid bad actors, review our guidance on avoiding locksmith scams.
Key Duplication
Need spare keys for a spouse, child, roommate, or a trusted neighbor? We cut accurate duplicates for door locks, deadbolts, and common residential hardware so you have backups before an emergency hits.

When You Should Rekey Instead of Copying Keys
If you are missing keys or you do not know who still has a copy, key duplication does not solve the real problem. Rekeying changes the lock so old keys stop working, which restores control without replacing all hardware.

Lock Replacement and Deadbolt Installation
If your locks are outdated, damaged, or easy to bypass, replacement is the move. We install quality residential locks and deadbolts correctly, with proper alignment and solid strike plate anchoring so the door actually holds under force.
Want stronger protection than standard hardware? We can recommend and install high-security locks when you need better resistance to picking and forced entry. For basic guidance on improving residential door security, including lock and strike plate considerations, review the National Institute of Standards and Technology publications.
Rekeying
Just moved into a new home? Lost a key? Had a tenant, contractor, or roommate who no longer should have access? Rekeying is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to secure your home without replacing your hardware.
We change the internal pin configuration so old keys stop working, then issue new keys and confirm every door works smoothly. If you want this explained in plain terms, our lock change and rekey page covers the process: lock change and rekey lock services.
Residential Locksmith FAQs
Should I rekey my locks after moving into a new home?
Yes. You do not know how many copies of the old keys exist or who still has them. Rekeying is usually faster and more affordable than replacing every lock, and it restores control immediately.
Can you unlock a house without damaging the door?
In most situations, yes. Our technicians use professional entry methods designed to minimize damage. If a lock is broken or compromised, we will explain options before doing any replacement work.
When should I replace a lock instead of rekeying it?
Replace the lock if the hardware is worn out, damaged, misaligned, or if you want a security upgrade. Rekeying is a great option when the lock is in good condition but you need new keys and better access control.
Do you provide 24 hour residential locksmith service in Houston?
Yes. We provide 24 hour residential locksmith service across Houston for lockouts, lock repairs, rekeys, and urgent security issues. Call any time for help.
How can I reduce the risk of locksmith scams?
Be cautious of vague pricing, unmarked vehicles, and high-pressure tactics. Ask for clear service details and confirm identity before work begins. Our site has a full guide here: avoid locksmith scams.
