Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Rekey or Replace My Locks?
Rekeying works when hardware is sound but key control is lost. Replacement suits worn or damaged locks. A technician can recommend the best option.
Can Jantzen Lock & Safe Co. Install a Smart Lock on My Existing Door?
It depends on door prep, existing hardware, and product chosen. Most smart locks retrofit standard doors, though older Charleston homes may need extra fitting work.
Does Rekeying Work on Antique or Historic Door Hardware?
Yes, though it requires specific pinning knowledge and sometimes hard-to-find key blanks. Our team preserves original hardware in Charleston's historic homes when possible.
