It's not just a house - it's your comfort zone, your safe space, your everything. And when something goes wrong with your home's locks, it doesn't just feel inconvenient - it feels personal. That's why P & G Emergency Locksmith treats every house call like it's our own front door on the line.
We've helped a young couple rekey their new place near Glenlake Park, secured a senior's back door after a faulty latch in Oakhurst, and even replaced a broken mailbox lock for a teacher in Medlock. No job is too small when it's your home on the other side of the lock.
Whether you just got the keys to a charming bungalow or you're renting a walk-up off East College, here's the truth: you never really know who else might still have a copy. Contractors, former tenants, that neighbor who watered the plants back in 2019... it adds up.
Rekeying is fast, cost-effective, and it gives you peace of mind. We change the inner pins of your existing locks so only your new keys work. Simple. Secure. No need to replace all the hardware unless you want to.
We carry all the tools and parts in our van, so we can usually do the work right on the first visit. If you've got older doors, unusual hardware, or something that hasn't turned in years - we've seen it before, and we'll figure it out.
It happens more than you think. You step out to grab the mail, and the wind takes the door. Or your toddler locks the knob behind you. One homeowner near Dearborn Park got locked out while grilling - steak on the fire, keys on the counter. We were there in 25 minutes, popped the lock without damage, and even helped move the food off the heat.
We get people back inside quickly, without drama or damage. No drilling unless there's truly no other way - and we'll always explain before we do anything.
Thinking of going keyless? Great idea. We install and troubleshoot smart lock systems from all major brands - Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, August, and more. Whether you want app access, keypad entry, or full smart home integration, we can walk you through it and set it up right.
We also help when the tech gets tricky. Forgotten PINs, lock syncing errors, power issues - we know what to look for and how to fix it. You don't have to wrestle with a user manual or wait on hold with tech support.
"Do I need to replace the lock, or can you just rekey it?"
In most cases, we can rekey. It's faster and more affordable than full replacement. We'll let you know what makes sense based on your lock's condition.
"Can you add a deadbolt to my front door?"
Yes. If there's space and structure for it, we can drill, fit, and install a new deadbolt that matches your door's finish and your home's style.
"Are smart locks safe?"
Absolutely - when installed and configured correctly. We explain the features, show you how to use them, and make sure your settings match your lifestyle.
We show up when we say we will. We give real prices, not bait-and-switch quotes. We wear clean uniforms, respect your home, and clean up before we leave. Most of all, we care - because this isn't just a job to us. It's Decatur. It's where we live and work.
