Locksmith
When a lock fails, two things matter more than anything else: getting it fixed fast, and knowing the person doing the fixing is someone you can safely let through your front door. The Threshold Group family of locksmith businesses delivers both. We send technicians who are background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before they ever ring the bell. Whether it’s a rekey after moving into a new house or a high-security commercial cylinder that needs factory-authorized service, you’ll know exactly who is coming and exactly what the work will cost before any tool comes out of the van.
What’s Included
Locksmith work covers far more than getting you back inside when you’re locked out. Here’s what our local Dunmore Locksmith team handles most often, from the routine to the rarely requested.
Residential Lock Rekeying
Just moved in? Had a roommate move out? A rekey changes the internal pins so old keys stop working, without replacing the hardware itself. We rekey Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, and most other common residential brands, on the spot, with the price quoted before the first screw turns. Most single-cylinder rekeys are finished in under an hour.
Deadbolt Installation and Repair
A deadbolt is only as strong as its installation. We install and service single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts from Schlage, Kwikset, and Baldwin, and we check the strike plate, door alignment, and screw length, not just the lock body itself. That matters because most deadbolt failures we see in the field are frame problems, not lock problems.
High-Security Lock Upgrades
For homeowners and business owners who want protection that goes beyond a standard pin-tumbler cylinder, we’re factory-authorized on Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy. These systems use restricted keyways, which means keys can’t be copied at the hardware store. We recommend them for street-facing doors, home offices, and any property where key control is a genuine concern.
Commercial Lock and Cylinder Service
Storefronts, offices, and rental properties need locks that handle heavy daily use without binding or failing. We install, repair, and rekey commercial-grade hardware from Sargent, Schlage, and Yale, including rim cylinders, mortise locks, and push-bar exit devices. We also set up master-key systems for landlords and property managers, so one key opens the main entrance while tenant keys open only their own units.
Lockout Service
Locked out of your house, car, or business? We come to you, verify you have the right to be let in, and get you back inside without damaging the door or frame. Our call center picks up 24 hours a day, every day, so you never explain your situation to a voicemail at two in the morning.
Smart Lock Installation and Repair
Smart locks from Kwikset, Schlage, and Yale are convenient, but only when they’re installed correctly and connected reliably. We install them, pair them with your phone or keypad, and make sure the mechanical backup key still works. If a smart lock stops responding, we troubleshoot before we recommend replacing it, and we’ll give you a straight answer about whether it’s worth fixing.
Why Homeowners Choose the Threshold Group Family
The threshold is the step you cross to come inside, and for centuries it has stood for trust: who you welcome past the door and who you keep on the other side of it. That’s exactly what this family of businesses was built around. Since 2010, Threshold Group has existed to make letting a tradesperson into your home feel as safe as it should, and the way we do that isn’t a marketing slogan; it’s a set of rules our locations agreed to before they could carry the name. Every technician who shows up at your door has been background-checked and identity-verified. You receive their name and photo before the visit. They wear a marked uniform and present a photo ID badge at the door, every single time. The price is put in writing before any work starts. And every repair is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a full-year written guarantee, with a free second visit if the fix doesn’t hold. Most locksmiths compete on speed. We’d rather earn the step across your threshold.
Frequently Asked Questions
We dispatch technicians for emergency lockouts around the clock, and in most local service areas a Dunmore Locksmith tech reaches the door within 30 to 60 minutes once the call is assigned. Same-day appointments for rekeys, repairs, and installations are available throughout the week, and our live-person phone line is answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Call us, tell us what happened, and we’ll give you a real arrival window right then.
Dunmore Locksmith serves the local community as an independent neighborhood business that works to the Threshold Group standard, and our service area covers the town and surrounding suburbs. When you call, our dispatcher confirms your address and tells you who will be arriving and when. If a job falls outside the normal service boundary, we’ll tell you immediately rather than sending someone late or surprising you with a travel charge.
Pricing works the way it should: the price goes in writing before any work begins, every single time. No after-the-fact totals, no estimates that creep upward while the job is underway, and no vague verbal ranges. The written quote matches the work, and the final invoice matches the written quote. For lockouts and simple rekeys, we can usually quote a firm price over the phone once you describe the situation.
It covers every repair we make, in writing, for a full 365 days. If a repair fails within a year, we return for a free second visit and make it right. If a technician arrives at your door who was not introduced to you by name and photo beforehand, that visit is on us, and we make it right. That’s the promise stamped on every job, not a slogan on a receipt.
Call us today for a quote. Estimates are free, and the price you agree to is the price you pay.
