When you call a locksmith, you need to know exactly what you are paying for before anyone touches your door. Since 2002, our business has operated under a strict rule: the price quoted by our dispatcher is the price you see on the invoice. There are no hidden service fees, no “starting at” pricing games, and no changes to the quote once the technician arrives at your property. This is Haven Standard Clause 1, and it is the foundation of every job we complete.
Fast, Local Residential Locksmith
We serve the entire Marietta, GA area, from the historic downtown square to the suburban neighborhoods off I-75 and the winding roads near Kennesaw Mountain. Because we are a locally operated business, we know the geography of Cobb County well. We don’t dispatch from a call center hundreds of miles away; we dispatch from local knowledge. Whether you are dealing with a jammed deadbolt on a newer home in a Marietta subdivision or need deadbolt installation at an older property near the city center, our technicians are equipped to handle the job on the first visit.
Every technician arriving at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and carries the necessary tools to service everything from basic Kwikset or Schlage entry hardware to high-security Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or Abloy cylinders. We believe that security is not just about the hardware; it is about the documentation. When we finish a job, we leave you with a documented photo record of the work performed. This ensures you know exactly what was installed, adjusted, or replaced, providing a clear audit trail for your home security records. We have completed over 60,000 jobs since 2002, and every single one started with a written price and ended with a documented record.

Common Residential Lock Issues We Address
Homeowners often encounter similar security gaps-from worn hardware to the need for door reinforcement-that require professional attention. Our technicians follow The Haven Standard to ensure these issues are resolved permanently rather than patched over.
- Key Snapping: If a key has broken off inside your cylinder, do not attempt to pry it out with pliers or needles. You risk damaging the internal pins. We use specialized extractors to remove the broken fragment without compromising the lock body.
- Misaligned Strikes: If your door requires you to lift the handle or push hard to engage the deadbolt, the strike plate is likely misaligned. We adjust the strike or the frame to ensure the bolt throws freely, which prevents premature failure of the internal mechanism.
- High-Security Upgrades: Standard entry-grade locks are vulnerable to bumping and picking. We install high-security cylinders (locks that cannot be picked or bumped by standard tools) from brands like Medeco and Abloy to provide a higher tier of resistance for your home.
- Lost Keys: If you have lost your keys, we recommend a rekey rather than a full hardware replacement. Rekeying involves changing the internal pins so that the old keys no longer function, while keeping your existing, high-quality hardware intact.
Safety Note: If you are locked out of your home, please remain in a safe, well-lit area while you wait for our technician. If you have a child or pet locked inside, or if there is an active emergency involving a stove or electrical hazard, please contact local emergency services first. We are trained to handle lock bypasses safely, but human safety always takes precedence over property access.
