Kwikset makes America’s most installed residential locks. We repair, replace, and install the full range across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia, from keyed deadbolts to smart locks. King Locksmith and Doors Inc. backs every job with 25 years in business, licensed, insured, and bonded.
Founded in 1946 and owned today by Swedish security group ASSA ABLOY, Kwikset built its name on affordable, dependable residential hardware: keyed deadbolts, knobs, levers, and handlesets, plus SmartCode keypads and Halo Wi-Fi smart locks.
Its technical signature is SmartKey Security, a rekeyable cylinder on the KW1 keyway that lets us rekey without disassembly, graded under ANSI/BHMA by series. We service it daily on single family doors and townhome entries.
Three Kwikset failures fill our service tickets: SmartKey cylinders that spin or reject keys after a DIY rekey slips, SmartCode keypads killed by battery drain or motor wear, and deadbolts that bind against a shifted strike plate. We reset or swap SmartKey cylinders, replace keypad modules, and realign strikes on the spot. Locked out? Our Kwikset locksmiths respond 24/7.
King Locksmiths delivers specialized Kwikset lock solutions across Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia, offering professional installation, repair, rekeying, replacement, and smart lock services designed to enhance convenience, security, and everyday access.
Repair fits a weak latch spring, a SmartKey cylinder jammed mid-rekey, or a SmartCode motor that stops throwing the bolt. We inspect cylinder, latch, strike alignment, and battery contacts first.
Genuine Kwikset cylinders, latches, and keypad boards ride on every truck, so most repairs finish in one visit. When replacement beats rebuilding, we say so. Call (240) 345-1455 in Maryland or (202) 800-2622 in Washington DC and NOVA.
Replacement fits a failed SmartKey cylinder, lost keys, or a Kevo left without app support since the 2025 shutdown. Standard bore and backset sizing lets us match your door prep, no new drilling.
Many customers upgrade builder installed knobs to SmartCode keypads or Halo smart locks, and matching keyways let us key new hardware to your existing key. Our in-house door expert squares sagging frames the same visit.
From Juno and Tylo knobs to SmartCode 260 keypads and Halo Touch fingerprint locks, we install new Kwikset hardware and retrofit smart locks onto existing deadbolt prep. Before we drill, we confirm door thickness, backset, handing, and platform compatibility.
Correct installation keeps the bolt throwing smoothly, protects the finish, and preserves Kwikset’s warranty. Our own certified technicians handle every job: assess, install, test operation and security before we leave. Estimates are free.
Anyone can install a Kwikset. Keeping SmartKey cylinders, keypads, and smart locks running takes brand specific training, genuine parts, and 25 years in the field.
We install only genuine Kwikset cylinders, latches, and smart modules, never knockoff parts, so your SmartCode or Halo smart lock keeps its manufacturer warranty intact.
Our locksmiths handle SmartKey resets, KW1 rekeys, and SmartCode programming daily, fixing the botched DIY rekeys and jammed cylinders other companies would simply replace outright.
Our mobile units carry common Kwikset cylinders, latches, strikes, and keypad batteries, which means most repairs, rekeys, and smart lock fixes finish in one visit.
Kwikset deadbolts bind fast on sagging doors. Our own door specialist corrects frames, hinges, and strike alignment during the same appointment, preventing repeat failures later.
