Why Using Kwikset Locks
Kwikset is one of the most popular and affordable lock brands in the U.S.—and for good reason. Known for ease of use and modern designs, Kwikset locks are a go-to choice for homeowners, apartment complexes, and property managers. They offer a range of options, from traditional deadbolts to smart locks with keyless entry.
Advantages: Kwikset locks are easy to install, affordable, and available almost anywhere. Their SmartKey technology allows for fast rekeying without removing the lock. Their smart locks are also widely compatible with smart home platforms.
Disadvantages: Basic Kwikset models are not as drill- or pick-resistant as high-security brands like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock. However, higher-end Kwikset models and smart locks offer improved durability and tamper resistance.
For most homes and small businesses in Buda, Kwikset offers an excellent balance of security, style, and cost.
Kwikset Lock Rekey
One of Kwikset’s best features is its SmartKey technology, which allows for fast, secure rekeying. If you’ve lost a key, changed tenants, or want to revoke access from previous users, rekeying is the perfect solution. It’s less expensive than a full lock change and works with most Kwikset models.
At Lock Change Buda, we rekey Kwikset locks in minutes and provide you with a brand-new set of keys. Pricing usually ranges from $35 to $65 per lock. For locks without SmartKey, we’ll rekey the traditional way using pins and tumblers.
Smart Locks
Kwikset has made a name for itself in the smart lock industry with user-friendly, stylish options that work well with most smart home systems. Whether you want to unlock your door via app, assign temporary access codes, or ditch your keys entirely, Kwikset has you covered.
Standard Smart Locks: These include models like the Kwikset Halo and Kwikset Premis. These locks replace your existing deadbolt and offer Wi-Fi or Bluetooth control, remote access, and integrations with platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
Retrofit Smart Locks: Some older Kwikset locks can be adapted with smart add-ons, but most homeowners choose to replace the full unit for better security and reliability. Our technicians can install and configure either setup.
Lock Change Buda installs and configures all Kwikset smart locks. We’ll help you pair your devices, create user codes, and walk you through usage so you’re comfortable and secure.
Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith
Kwikset is known for user-friendly designs, but installation isn’t always as simple as it looks. Incorrect installation can cause misalignment, malfunction, or leave your door vulnerable. Smart locks can also be tricky when syncing with Wi-Fi or setting user codes.
When you choose Lock Change Buda, you’re getting warranty-backed service, professional guidance, and peace of mind that your locks are properly installed. We do everything on-site, offer advice, and back our work with a 6-month warranty on parts and labor.
