Moved into a new home or lost track of spare keys?

You don’t need to replace all your door hardware to regain full control of your home’s security.

Many homeowners assume that securing a new house requires purchasing and installing completely new handle sets and deadbolts. If your existing locks are in solid mechanical condition, rekeying is the most cost-effective and efficient solution.

What is Rekeying?

Rekeying involves altering the internal pin tumbler mechanism of your existing lock cylinders. The old keys will permanently cease to function, and a brand-new operating key is pinned to the locks—allowing you to keep your existing architectural finishes and hardware intact.

Why Choose Professional Rekeying?

* Cost Efficiency: Keep your current k***s, levers, and deadbolts while completely resetting who has access.

* Single-Key Convenience: Eliminate bulky keychains by keying all matching exterior locks (front entry, back door, side access, garage) to work smoothly off a single key.

* New Homeowner Peace of Mind: Ensure previous owners, past contractors, cleaners, or former tenants no longer hold working copies.

* Hardware Health Check: Every rekey includes lubrication, cylinder alignment, and strike plate inspection to ensure the deadbolt throws smoothly without sticking.

Service Booking & On-Site Preparation Checklist

* Hardware Brand Check: Confirm the brand of your exterior locks (e.g., Schlage, Kwikset). Keyways must share the same internal profile to be keyed to a single key.
* Door Count: Count every cylinder requiring service (deadbolts and keyed entry k***s/levers count separately).
* Hardware Assessment: Identify any latches that catch, bind, or require shoulder pressure to lock so strike adjustments can be addressed during the call.

* Schedule Service: Contact Campbell Lock & Safe directly by phone or message to set up on-site residential rekeying and specify how many new master working keys are needed for your household.

Hey! So earlier this week, we actually replaced the transmitter and receiver for this wireless button on a handicap door opener. That way, the customer wouldn't have to deal with that annoying "out of order" sign anymore! 😊

Removed an existing electric release that was, well, not the right fit for the application. Installed this Adams Rite 7400 release and got this door working wonderfully just in time for the weekend!

Give us a call if you need help with your electronic locking hardware!

Commercial Property Managers: Is your facility prepped for the season ahead?

Before temperatures drop and seasonal traffic picks up, commercial exterior openings take the brunt of daily wear and tear. A quick physical security check now prevents costly emergency service calls later.

The 3-Point Perimeter Check:

Positive Latching: When the door swings shut on its own, does the latch bolt fully engage the strike without needing an extra push?

Deadlatch Position: On storefront mortise and cylindrical locks, ensure the deadlatch pin is depressed by the strike lip—never falling into the strike opening itself.

Controlled Closing: Door closers should bring the door smoothly through the sweep cycle and firmly through the latching cycle without slamming or dragging on the threshold.

With 15 years of commercial locksmith and access control experience, Campbell Lock & Safe handles repairs, retrofits, and master keying for property managers, light industrial sites, and commercial facilities throughout Gloucester County and South Jersey.
Get your openings dialed in before winter.

🚪 Why Is Your Door Sticking? What Cooler Fall Weather Does to Closers, Weatherstripping & Locks

As autumn rolls in and the temperatures drop, you might notice your doors suddenly behaving differently:

• Exterior doors stop latching completely behind you.

• You have to push or pull hard on the door just to turn the key.

• Keys feel stiff, gritty, or stubborn in the cylinder.

Before assuming a lock is broken, here is what is happening mechanically when the weather turns cool—and how to fix it:

1. Hydraulic Door Closers & "Seasonal Swing"
Commercial door closers rely on internal hydraulic fluid to regulate closing speed and latching power. As temperatures drop, that fluid thickens. A closer that operated smoothly in July can slow down to a crawl in October, often stalling right before the door catches the latch. Adjusting the sweep and latch valves—or replacing worn units with cold-weather fluid models—restores reliable latching.

2. Stiffened Weatherstripping & Latch Binding
Cold weather causes rubber, silicone, and neoprene perimeter seals to contract and lose flexibility. When stiff weatherstripping prevents the door from sitting flush against the stop, it creates latch binding—constant side-pressure against the latch bolt. This makes turning lever handles, pushing panic bars, or turning keys feel heavy and jammed.

3. Thermal Contraction & Frame Shifting
Metal doors, aluminum storefronts, and hollow steel frames expand in summer heat and contract in cool air. A fraction of an inch of contraction can throw off the vertical and horizontal alignment between your lock bolt and the frame's strike plate.

4. Lock Cylinder Moisture & Gummed-Up Lubricants
Temperature swings bring condensation. If locks have accumulated dirt or were previously sprayed with improper household oils (like standard WD-40, which attracts grime and congeals in cold weather), tiny internal pins and springs will seize up. Professional lock maintenance requires flushing cylinders with dedicated, greaseless lock lubricants (such as PTFE/dry-film sprays) that displace moisture and won't freeze or gum.
Don't compromise your building’s security or heat efficiency this season.
If your doors are dragging, failing to latch, or binding your keys, our technicians can inspect, adjust, and service your hardware before freezing weather sets in.
