Why Buying Your Locks from a Locksmith Saves You Money (and Headaches)
By C & E Lock & Safe Inc.
When it comes to securing your home or business, we understand that price matters. That’s why many people turn to online retailers or big box stores to buy locks — thinking they’ll save a few bucks. But in reality, that choice often costs more than it saves.
Here’s why buying your locks from a local locksmith like C & E Lock & Safe Inc. is the smarter move:
✅ We Key Them for Free
When you buy locks from us, we’ll key them to match each other for free. That means if you buy a set of doorknobs and deadbolts, we’ll make sure one key works everything — no extra charge.
But when people bring in locks they bought elsewhere? Rekeying usually adds $10 to $15 per lock, sometimes more. That adds up fast — and ends up costing more than buying the lock from us in the first place.
💡 We Make Sure It’s the Right Lock for the Job
Ordering online often means guesswork. We regularly see people buy the wrong type of lock — the wrong backset, finish, or function. Then they have to return it, reorder, and pay us to fix it anyway.
When you buy from us, we’ll make sure you get the right lock the first time — and we can install it too, if needed.
🛠 We Stand Behind What We Sell
If there’s ever an issue with a lock you bought from us, we handle it directly. Try getting that kind of support from a website based in another state.
🏘 You’re Supporting Local, Not a Call Center in Another State
When you shop online, that money leaves Northwest Arkansas and goes to a corporation or third-party seller somewhere else.
When you buy from C & E Lock & Safe, you’re investing in your community. You’re helping us support local jobs, serve local customers, and keep your neighbors secure — not funding a faceless website.
🚪 Final Thought
So before you click “Add to Cart” on a lock from a random website, give us a call or stop by. Not only will you get quality hardware at a competitive price — you’ll get it rekeyed for free, the right way, by people who live and work right here in Fayetteville.
