Why Using Kaba Locks

Kaba (now part of the dormakaba group) is renowned for manufacturing some of the most secure locking systems in the world. Known for durability and advanced technology, Kaba locks are trusted in high-security environments including government, education, healthcare, and commercial real estate.

Advantages:

  • High-security keys that are hard to duplicate without authorization
  • Heavy-duty mortise and deadbolt designs ideal for commercial settings
  • Smart lock integration with access control systems
  • Long-lasting components with ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certifications

Disadvantages:

  • Generally more expensive than mass-market locks like Kwikset or Schlage
  • Rekeying or replacing parts often requires specialty tools or locksmith expertise

For anyone who values top-tier security and long-term durability, Kaba locks are a professional-grade choice. Our locksmiths are trained and equipped to service even the most complex Kaba systems, from mechanical to digital.

Kaba Lock Rekey

Rekeying a Kaba lock can be more involved than standard locks due to their high-security keyways and specialized pin systems. However, it’s often a cost-effective way to regain control over who can access your property without replacing the entire lock body.

Whether you're rekeying due to employee turnover, lost keys, or tenant changes, our mobile locksmiths have the training and tools to rekey your Kaba locks quickly and correctly.

Estimated cost: $35–$65 per lock. Higher pricing reflects the precision and specialized parts needed for high-security rekeying. Rekeying smart locks or access-controlled units may cost more.

Smart Locks

Kaba’s line of smart and electronic locks is trusted in secure commercial environments and luxury residences alike. These systems are used in everything from hotel keycards to biometric entry doors.

Standard Kaba Smart Locks: These are complete electronic systems often connected to wired or wireless access control. They include keypad locks, RFID access, and PIN/card combinations for high-security buildings.

Retrofit Kaba Smart Locks: These units replace or enhance traditional lock hardware with electronic components, allowing you to maintain the exterior look while adding smart functionality.

Kaba smart locks are engineered for durability, integration with software platforms, and advanced auditing features. Whether you're upgrading office security or adding PIN-based entry to your home, we help you choose and professionally install the right model for your needs.

Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith

Attempting to change or rekey a Kaba lock without experience is not recommended. These locks often feature patented key control systems and precision components that require proper tools and training.

DIY Pros: Potential cost savings, but only if you already have the tools and technical knowledge.

DIY Cons: Risk of damaging the lock or compromising security. Kaba locks often void warranty if improperly handled.

Professional Pros: Expert diagnostics, guaranteed fitment, full warranty on service, and access to restricted key systems.

Professional Cons: Higher upfront cost, but better long-term protection and peace of mind.
