Why Novak Lock & Security Is Collierville’s Preferred Lock Installation & Rekey Company
Collierville homeowners call us because we write down the price before we start, every time. Daniel Novak founded this company on a single rule: the number on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and they leave a documented photo record at every job – what they found, what they did, and the condition of the hardware when they finished. That’s not a courtesy. It’s procedure under The Haven Standard.
We know this town’s housing stock. The 1990s to 2010s custom builds in subdivisions around Houston Levee Road and Winchester Boulevard have solid-core doors, three-car garages with side entry doors, and electronic keypads that are now hitting end-of-life. The older commercial structures near the Town Square have mortise lock hardware that a Kwikset-only tech can’t touch. Our Lock Installation & Rekey team handles both ends of that spectrum without blinking. When you call about a deadbolt that won’t throw, our dispatcher asks the right questions before the tech arrives, because in Collierville the lock is usually fine and the door frame is the problem.
Our Lock Installation & Rekey Services in Collierville
Smart Lock Installation
Most Collierville homes built since 2005 have the door prep for a modern smart lock, but the deadbolt bore on a 1990s custom build often needs modification to fit a Z-Wave or Wi-Fi unit cleanly. We install and program smart locks from Schlage, Yale, and Baldwin, and we don’t leave until the lock pairs with your phone, your keypad code is set, and the physical key override works. We also match the finish to the existing hardware on your front door and side doors, which matters on the heavy solid-core doors common around Halle Plantation and Stewart’s Creek.
Keyless Entry
A keyless entry deadbolt or lever is the fastest fix for a Collierville family that’s tired of hiding a key under a planter. We install keyless systems with encrypted codes, temporary guest codes, and auto-lock timers. One thing we tell every customer in a two-story Collierville home: if you have three exterior doors and a garage entry door, all of them need to be on the same keyless platform or you’ll end up with four different code systems. We standardize the whole house in one visit.
Keypad Lock
The early-2000s electronic keypad deadbolts installed during Collierville’s build boom are failing at predictable rates now. Touchpads delaminate in the humidity, the membrane buttons stop registering, and the battery contacts corrode. We replace them with current-generation Schlage and Yale keypads that use sealed touchpads and better weatherproofing, then we rekey the physical cylinder so the old keys no longer work. If you’re in Schilling Farms or Spring Creek Ranch and your keypad is original to the house, it’s time.
Biometric Lock
Fingerprint locks are a growing request from Collierville homeowners who want entry without a phone, a fob, or a key. We install biometric deadbolts from eufy and Ultraloq, along with high-security biometric options from Medeco where access control matters. The honest caveat: biometric locks still need a physical key override and a backup code path, because humidity and wet fingers reduce read accuracy. We set all three methods up and show you how each one fails over.

Trusted Brands We Service in Collierville
We’re factory-authorized on Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Baldwin, Yale, and Schlage. That means we can key Medeco high-security cylinders to existing systems in Collierville’s gated communities, order Baldwin hardware that matches your original 2004 build finishes, and warranty the work from the manufacturer down. Our service vans carry common Collierville-specific parts: Schlage B60 deadbolts, Yale keypad assemblies, mortise cylinders for Town Square commercial doors, and strike plates sized for the thicker jamb material in custom homes. If we need something unusual, the supplier runs from Memphis twice a day, so most jobs stay same-day.
Common Lock Installation & Rekey Problems We See in Collierville Homes
- Deadbolts that bind in summer. The Memphis-area humidity makes the wide wood door frames in larger Collierville homes swell, which shifts the strike plate and prevents the bolt from throwing. The fix is often a repositioned strike plate and a slightly deeper bolt pocket, not a new lock. We always check the frame first, because replacing the deadbolt on a swollen door just moves the problem.
- Failing early-2000s keypad deadbolts. Homes built during Collierville’s subdivision boom got builder-grade electronic keypads that are now at end-of-life. Dead batteries, unresponsive touchpads, and lost master codes are the classic symptoms. We can sometimes reprogram them, but most get replaced with current-generation hardware.
- HOA gate controller resets. After a power surge or utility reset, the keypad at a gated community entrance can lose its programming, which locks out residents and visitors. When the gate controller fails, the common-area locks usually need coordinated rekeying too, because the old master key no longer matches anything.
- Mixed key systems from piecemeal additions. A Collierville home that’s had a pool house added, a garage apartment finished, or a side door replaced often has three or four different keys. We rekey everything to a single key, or install a master key system if you want separate access levels for a housekeeper, contractor, or in-law suite.

FAQs - Lock Installation & Rekey in Collierville
Yes, if the existing cylinders are in working condition. We rekey Kwikset, Schlage, Baldwin, and most other standard pin-and-tumbler cylinders in place, on site, usually in 30 to 45 minutes. Mortise locks in older Town Square buildings can sometimes be rekeyed too, but if the cylinder is worn or the internal springs are failing, we’ll tell you honestly that replacement is the better call. The rekey itself costs $15 to $25 per cylinder plus the $65 to $85 service call, quoted in writing. Call (331) 310-8471 for an exact price after we identify your lock type.
Usually not. In Collierville’s humid summers, the wide wood door frames on custom homes swell enough to move the strike plate out of alignment, so the bolt hits the plate edge instead of sliding into the pocket. The fix is a repositioned strike plate and sometimes a deeper bolt pocket, which runs $75 to $120 during a service call. We check the frame before we touch the lock, because replacing the deadbolt alone won’t fix a swollen door. If the cylinder itself is worn or seized, we’ll show you that and quote the replacement. Call (331) 310-8471 and we’ll diagnose it on site.
It depends on the door. A true mortise lock body sits in a rectangular pocket that a standard tubular smart lock won’t fit without drilling a new bore and patching the old mortise pocket, which is invasive and usually not recommended on a solid-core custom door. If the door has a standard 2-1/8-inch cylindrical bore, we can install a smart lock directly. For mortise-equipped doors, we often recommend a high-security mortise cylinder rekey combined with a smart keypad on a secondary door. We’ll assess the door and tell you straight what’s possible before quoting. Call (331) 310-8471 for a free evaluation.
Yes. We work with Collierville HOA property managers on rekeys for clubhouses, pools, amenity buildings, and gate access panels. We maintain master key systems so board members and management have appropriate access levels, and we document every key issued. Gate controller resets after power issues are a recurring problem in communities like Schilling Farms and Spring Creek Ranch, and we can reprogram those keypads as part of a coordinated rekey. HOA work is quoted per project with a written scope and a flat per-lock price. Call (331) 310-8471 to have Daniel or a tech walk the property with you.
Often replace. The builder-grade electronic keypad deadbolts installed during Collierville’s build boom have touchpads that delaminate in humidity, corroded battery contacts, and internal boards that fail after 15 to 20 years. If the keypad still accepts the mechanical key override but won’t accept codes, it’s usually a failed touchpad or board, and the cost to replace those parts approaches what a new current-generation Schlage or Yale keypad costs. We quote both options on site and let you decide. A replacement keypad deadbolt with installation runs $220 to $380 in Collierville. Call (331) 310-8471 for an exact quote on your hardware.
