Utilities, permits and licensing
Before a locksmith opens a home, they should ask you for ID or proof that you live there, and a legitimate one will give you a business name and an estimate before starting. If someone quotes one price on the phone and a much higher one at the door, you can say no.
Warwick homes, up close
Gaspee and Pawtuxet in the north end have older, closely spaced houses near the Pawtuxet River and the bay. In March 2010 the Pawtuxet River reached record flood levels and swamped homes, businesses and the city's sewer plant.
Cowesett and Warwick Neck have larger homes and bigger lots, where garages, long driveways and wide roofs are common. Many post-war homes have a front door, a side or garage entry and a basement bulkhead, often keyed differently. A locksmith can rekey them to one key.
Many Warwick homes have a basement bulkhead, a side door and a garage entry in addition to the front door, so count every lock you want rekeyed. The city has a long shoreline on Narragansett Bay and Greenwich Bay, so salt air, wind and storm surge are part of owning a home in places like Oakland Beach and Conimicut.
What to have ready
Count the doors and locks you want handled, including garage, basement and storm doors.

Common questions
I rent. Can I change my locks?
Check your lease and talk to your landlord first. Many leases require the owner to keep a working key.
Is a smart lock as secure as a deadbolt?
It depends on the model. Look for a solid deadbolt underneath and ask the locksmith about how the keypad and app are protected.
