Your home is your sanctuary, but a broken lock or a lost key can turn it into a source of stress. At WA Lock & Key, we specialize in comprehensive residential security. Whether you are moving into a new home in Oakbrook and need a full rekey, or you’re standing on your porch and realizing your keys are on the kitchen counter, we are just a phone call away.
Unlike big city locksmiths who get lost in traffic, we are locally based in Lakewood.
In our area, locks face unique environmental challenges. The moisture from the Puget Sound can lead to sticky locks or internal oxidation. Furthermore, the temperature shifts in the South Sound can cause wooden door frames in older Steilacoom homes to swell, causing deadbolts to misalign. We don’t just fix the lock; we adjust the strike plate and lubricate the mechanism to ensure it withstands the Washington climate.
If you’ve recently purchased a home in the lakewood area, rekeying is your first line of defense. You never know who the previous owners gave spare keys to contractors, neighbors, or former tenants. We change the internal pins of your existing locks so only your new keys work, saving you the cost of replacing the entire handle set.
Upgrade your security with Grade 1 high-security deadbolts or modern smart locks. We frequently install keyless entry systems for residents near Fort Steilacoom Park, allowing you to go for a jog without carrying a bulky keychain.

Whatever you do, don’t try to dig it out with a screwdriver, this usually pushes the fragment deeper and can ruin the lock cylinder. Give us a call, and we’ll use professional extraction tools to safely remove the broken piece. In most cases, we can even cut you a brand-new key on the spot using the fragments as a template.
