Lock Store in Olathe, KS

Keys cut while you wait. Bring the key, or bring the lock, or bring the whole door handle if that is easier. Most counter jobs are done in minutes. Bring the drawer front if the drawer will not open. Bring the padlock, the cabinet, the cash box, the toolbox, the odd little lock that came with something years ago. If it cannot come off the door, that is what mobile service is for, and we cover Olathe and the rest of Johnson County.

You do not have to buy a new lock to change what your key opens. Take the cylinders off and bring them in, and we rekey them at the counter so they answer to a new key, or so every door in the house takes the same one. Same hardware, same finish, same holes in the door. Bring every lock you want on the same key at the same time, because that is what lets us match them.

On the shelves: deadbolts and entry sets for houses, knobs, levers and privacy sets, padlocks from the everyday to the shrouded and weather resistant, keypads and electronic locks, interchangeable cores, mortise and rim cylinders, commercial grade hardware, closers and exit device parts, cabinet, drawer and mailbox locks, and the key blanks behind the counter. If we do not have the exact thing on the shelf we can usually order it, and we will tell you plainly if what you want is not worth ordering.

People come in to ask whether a lock is any good, or what to do about a door that will not latch. Ask. We would rather you got the right answer than the expensive one. Three things go wrong with a lock bought from a photograph. It does not fit the door, because backset, bore size and door thickness all have to match. The finish does not match, because screens lie about colour. And it is not the grade you assumed, because the difference is inside the housing.

We install locks, not just sell them. Bring a door's measurements or the old lock to the counter and we will set you up with hardware that fits, or we come out and fit it on the door across Johnson County. A deadbolt is only as good as the strike and the screws behind it, so a proper install means boring the door and frame correctly and anchoring into the stud, not just swapping the visible part.

A lock that sticks, drags or will not latch is usually telling you something before it fails for good. Take it off and bring it in, or we come to the door, and we repair worn hardware, closers and strikes rather than defaulting to a new lock when the old one can be saved. When a lock genuinely cannot be saved, we replace it with hardware matched to the opening and the grade you actually need.
