House Lockout Service
Locked out of your home? Whether you’ve lost your keys, left them inside, or broken a key in the lock, our technicians respond quickly to get you back inside safely. We work on all residential door locks including knob locks, deadbolts, and keypad entry systems.
Lock Rekeying
Rekeying is the most cost-effective way to secure your home after moving in, losing a key, or ending a tenant relationship. Our technicians repin your existing lock cylinders so old keys no longer work—no need to replace the hardware.
Lock Replacement
When locks are damaged, worn, or simply not providing adequate security, replacement is the right choice. We install quality deadbolts, entry knobs, handlesets, and high-security locks from leading brands including Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco.
Smart Lock Installation
Upgrade your home security with keypad, fingerprint, or Bluetooth-enabled smart locks. We install and configure smart lock systems compatible with most home automation platforms, giving you keyless convenience without sacrificing security.
Deadbolt Installation
A Grade 1 deadbolt is one of the most effective deterrents against forced entry. We install single-cylinder, double-cylinder, and electronic deadbolts on exterior doors, garage entry doors, and sliding glass doors.

Frequently Asked Questions — Residential Locksmith
How long does it take to rekey a house lock?
Rekeying a single lock typically takes 10 to 15 minutes. Rekeying an entire home with multiple locks usually takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of locks and their condition. We can often rekey your entire home in a single visit.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so it works with a new key, while lock replacement involves removing the old hardware and installing a new lock entirely. Rekeying is more affordable and appropriate when the lock is in good condition. Replacement is better when the lock is damaged, worn, or you want to upgrade the security level.
Can you install smart locks on any door?
Most standard residential doors with a single-cylinder deadbolt cutout are compatible with smart lock installations. Some older or non-standard door preparations may require minor modifications. Our technicians assess the door hardware before installation and advise you on the best options.
What should I do if I am locked out of my house?
Stay calm and call Just In Time Locksmith at (505) 818-0720. We are available 24/7 and will dispatch a technician to your location promptly. Avoid attempting to force the door or break a window, as this can cause costly damage and may trigger a security alarm.
How often should I rekey my locks?
Experts recommend rekeying your locks whenever you move into a new home, after losing a key, after a break-in or attempted break-in, after ending a roommate or tenant relationship, or any time someone who previously had a key no longer should. Regular rekeying is an inexpensive way to maintain control over who can access your home.
Do you rekey locks in all Albuquerque neighborhoods?
Yes. We serve all Albuquerque neighborhoods and surrounding communities including Rio Rancho, Sandia Heights, Downtown, Los Ranchos Estates, Four Hills, the West Side, Paseo del Norte, and San Mateo. Call (505) 818-0720 and we will give you an honest arrival estimate based on your location.
