Lock Brands We Install & Service
Just In Time Locksmith works with every major lock manufacturer, and because we install hundreds of locks a year across Albuquerque, we can tell you honestly which hardware is worth the money for your specific door and what is overkill. Here are the brands and categories we install most often.
Schlage
One of America’s most trusted brands, offering ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts and entry hardware for both homes and businesses. The Schlage Encode Wi-Fi smart lock and B-Series deadbolts are popular choices for Albuquerque homeowners upgrading their security. Grade 1 is the highest residential rating — our usual recommendation for exterior doors.
Kwikset
A broad, budget-friendly residential range including SmartKey technology, which lets homeowners re-pin compatible locks themselves. We install and service Kwikset knobs, deadbolts, levers, and the Halo smart lock. A solid value choice for most homes.
Medeco & Mul-T-Lock
High-security locks with patented, restricted keyways that prevent unauthorized key duplication, plus hardened steel inserts and anti-pick, anti-drill pins. Ideal for high-value homes, medical offices, server rooms, and any property that needs serious access control.
Baldwin
Premium handlesets and deadbolts with the finishes and heft custom homes call for — common in Sandia Heights, Four Hills, and North Valley estates. Beautiful hardware that still meets real security standards.
Smart Locks
We install and configure smart locks from Schlage Encode, August, Yale, and Kwikset Halo. These keypad and app-enabled locks integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. See our smart lock installation service for details.
Commercial-Grade Hardware
For businesses, we install commercial cylindrical knobs and levers, mortise locks, exit devices (panic bars), and electronic access hardware from brands including Corbin Russwin, BEST, and Sargent — built for heavy daily use. See commercial locksmith and access control.
Which Lock Is Right for You?

Locks & Hardware FAQs
Do you sell locks, or only install them?
We primarily supply and install hardware as part of our service, which means the lock is correctly fitted and often keyed to match your other locks. We can also install quality hardware you have already purchased, as long as it fits your door — we will tell you before we drill if it will not.
What lock brand do you recommend for most homes?
For most Albuquerque homes, a Schlage or Kwikset ANSI Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt offers the best balance of security and value. For high-value properties or anti-duplication needs, we recommend Medeco or Mul-T-Lock high-security locks.
Can you key all my new locks to one key?
Yes, when the locks share a compatible keyway. Keying alike means a single key works every exterior door, which is convenient and easy to manage. We confirm compatibility before installation.
Is installation included in the price?
Yes. Our quotes include professional installation and proper alignment so the lock operates smoothly and provides the security it is rated for. We confirm the full price before any work begins.
Do you install smart locks and high-security locks?
Yes. We install keypad and Wi-Fi smart locks (Schlage Encode, Yale, August, Kwikset Halo) and high-security locks (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) for both homes and businesses, and we set them up so they work reliably.
