Rekeying Services in Orland Park, IL

Rekeying is a cost-effective alternative to replacing your entire lock. When we rekey a lock, we change the internal pins so that the old keys no longer work and a new key is required. This is an ideal solution for several scenarios:

When should you consider rekeying?

• You have just purchased a new home and don't know who else has keys.
• You have lost a copy of your key and are worried about it falling into the wrong hands.
• You want to consolidate multiple locks to work with one single master key.
• An employee or roommate has moved out and did not return their key.

Smart Lock Installation & Modern Security Solutions

The future of security is keyless. Smart locks offer Orland Park residents the convenience of controlling their home security via a smartphone app. At Gold Shield Locksmith, we install and configure the industry’s leading smart lock brands, including Schlage, Yale, and August.

Benefits of Smart Lock Technology:

• Remote Access: Lock or unlock your door from anywhere in the world.
• Guest Codes: Issue temporary digital keys for contractors, dog walkers, or guests.
• Activity Logs: Monitor exactly when your door was opened and by whom.
• Integration: Connect your locks to your existing smart home hub or security system.

High-Security Lock Installation

Standard locks can often be bypassed by experienced intruders using techniques like lock picking or "bumping." For those seeking maximum protection, we recommend high-security lock systems. These locks are engineered with specialized cylinders and hardened steel components to resist physical attacks.

We install brands such as Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, which offer patented key control. This means keys cannot be duplicated at a standard hardware store without your explicit authorization and a special ID card, ensuring total control over who has access to your property.
