Home locks, opened, rekeyed or upgraded by a shop you can walk into
Lockouts, rekeying, lock replacement and security locks for Yakima homes, from the shop at 715 W Nob Hill Blvd.
Chapter 01
Locked out at your own door
A lockout at home rarely picks a good hour. Yakima Lock & Safe runs mobile service and says it's available around the clock, so a locked door at midnight is still just a call to (509) 248-1124. The shop on Nob Hill keeps walk-in hours, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, and handles emergency calls on their own track.
What happens next is in the shop's own words: “We keep you informed on what's done so you'll be informed about your level of safety.” That is the part of a lockout people rarely get. You hear what was done to the door and the lock, and what, if anything, ought to change before you lock up for the night.

Rekey it or replace it
New house, a lost key, a roommate who never gave theirs back: each one is really a lock question. The shop can rekey the lock you already have, so the old keys stop working and the hardware stays. It can also replace the lock when the lock itself is tired. In their words, they can rekey an existing lock or upgrade it, depending on your needs.
Rekeying keeps the knob or deadbolt you chose and changes what opens it. Replacement makes sense when the hardware is worn, damaged or just not the level of security you want. Call (509) 248-1124 with the type of door and the lock on it, and the shop can tell you which road fits before you drive to Nob Hill.
The counter at 715 W Nob Hill Blvd has walls of labelled key blanks and the key machine behind it. Yakima Lock & Safe says it carries most home and commercial brands, and describes its inventory as extensive, so there's a real shelf to choose from when a lock has to be replaced.
Chapter 03
Upgrades, design keys and a word on safes
Lock upgrades are a line of their own. The shop says it can give you keyless or security lock choices, with installation and repair to match. That can mean Door Knobs and Deadbolts, High Security Lock Systems, or Keyless Entry Remotes, all of them named on the residential list. You describe the door and how your household uses it, and the choices narrow quickly.
Design Keys and Key Chains are on the list too, for people who want the thing in their pocket to look like theirs. Stop by the shop on Nob Hill, look over the walls of blanks, and ask what can be done for your lock.
Safes belong to this list as well: the shop says it can work on safes of all sizes and types. Moving one or buying one is its own subject, so see the Safes and Vaults service for that side of the shop, then call (509) 248-1124 for the home lock side.
“No matter the situation, they provide quality service, honest communication, and a level of customer care that is hard to find these days.” Eva Watters, Google review
