Camas isn’t a generic suburb to us. We know the moisture pocket between the Columbia River and the Gorge corridor that corrodes lock cylinders on north-facing doors. We know the split personality of the housing stock - the early-1900s mill cottages near the WestRock paper mill corridor with their original or once-replaced mid-century hardware, and the wave of post-2010 hillside subdivisions where production builders shipped identical Kwikset construction master keys across entire phases. That local knowledge changes what we bring on the truck and what we check when we arrive.

Our Lock Installation & Rekey Services in Camas

Smart Lock Installation

Camas’s newer homes in Lacamas Shores and the Forest Ridge area were built with builder-grade Kwikset deadbolts that do one thing: turn a key. Upgrading to a smart lock lets you grant temporary codes to dog walkers, track who comes and goes, and never hide a spare key under a planter again. We install and configure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled deadbolts that integrate with your existing door prep - no unnecessary drilling into that custom fiberglass entry door. Typical smart lock installation in Camas runs $180-$340, including removal of the old hardware, installation, and app setup.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry systems are particularly popular with Camas’s retired professionals and empty-nesters who’ve downsized into a Prune Hill patio home or a Lacamas Lake-view property. No fumbling for keys with groceries in hand, no rekeying when a housekeeper or caregiver changes. We install standalone keypad deadbolts and full keyless entry systems that can tie into home automation. For homes still on construction master keys, keyless entry eliminates that exposure entirely - the old key simply stops working. Keyless entry installation in Camas typically costs $150-$290.

Keypad Lock

Garage door keypad locks are a specific pain point in Camas. Production builders routinely install universal-keyed opener locks that every subcontractor on the phase can open - and those same subcontractors often have access to the construction master for your front door. We replace these with individually keyed or keypad-controlled garage door locks that actually secure your perimeter. After a hard freeze pushes through the Columbia River Gorge, we also get calls about seized keypad electronics; we stock weather-rated replacements that handle Camas’s damp-winter, freeze-thaw cycle. Garage keypad lock replacement runs $120-$220 in the Camas market.

Biometric Lock

Biometric locks - fingerprint readers, primarily - appeal to Camas homeowners who want maximum convenience without sacrificing security. We install biometric deadbolts from trusted manufacturers, configured for multiple family members and backup access methods. These are particularly suited to the custom homes on Camas’s eastern hillsides, where owners have invested in premium finishes and want hardware that matches. Biometric installation in Camas ranges from $280-$450 depending on the model and door prep requirements.

Key Duplication

We cut keys on-site for Camas customers, including high-security Mul-T-Lock and Abloy keyways that require specialized blanks and precision equipment. If you’ve rekeyed to a restricted keyway, we maintain the key code records so additional copies are available only to authorized household members. Key duplication for standard residential keys runs $4-$8; high-security keys range $15-$35 depending on the manufacturer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Camas

We stock and install Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy hardware for Camas jobs, along with Schlage, Medeco, Yale, and Kwikset when those are the right fit for the door and the budget. Our trucks carry the common cylinders, actuators, and strike plates needed for Camas’s predominant housing types - meaning we don’t make a second trip because the builder used an oddball backset or a discontinued keyway. For the vintage mortise locks in downtown Camas’s Craftsman homes, we source compatible modern cylinders that preserve the original hardware while upgrading the security. Fast turnaround matters when your front door won’t lock.

Common Lock Installation & Rekey Problems We See in Camas Homes

• Construction master keys still active on new homes. We rekeyed a 2018-built home in the Forest Ridge neighborhood after the homeowner discovered the original Kwikset deadbolts still using the builder’s construction master. We replaced all cylinders with Schlage B60N keyways and upgraded the worn actuator in the garage door lock, restoring full security. This scenario repeats weekly in Camas’s newer subdivisions.
• Corroded cylinders from Gorge moisture. Camas sits in a moisture pocket between the Columbia River and the Columbia River Gorge corridor, meaning exterior lock cylinders - especially on north- and west-facing doors - accumulate enough sustained dampness to corrode pins and springs faster than in drier inland cities. The occasional hard-freeze events that push through the Gorge can seize poorly lubricated or corroded cylinders overnight.
• Garage door opener locks with universal keys. Production builders frequently install identical keyed garage door locks across entire developments, using universal keys that any former subcontractor may still carry. Rekeying the front door while ignoring the garage leaves a wide perimeter gap.
• Worn mortise hardware in historic homes. The early-1900s through 1950s mill-worker homes near downtown Camas and the WestRock corridor often contain original or once-replaced mid-century mortise locks with obsolete keyways or fatigued internal mechanisms. These require careful retrofitting to accept modern high-security cylinders without damaging the vintage door prep.
