We’re Stalwart Locksmith, and we provide independent Medeco service across Savannah, Texas, plus Frisco Medeco service and surrounding Denton County areas. The one thing that makes our Medeco work different here is simple: we know these doors. Nearly every home in 75033 is builder tract construction from the 2000s and 2010s, and a Medeco retrofit in Savannah is usually a prep and alignment job before it’s ever a cylinder job. We service, rekey, and install Medeco Maxum, M3, Original, and eCLIQ hardware as an independent provider with no factory authorization, and we quote the full price on the phone before anyone is dispatched. Call (877) 626-0257 for a free estimate.
Why Savannah Residents Choose Us for Medeco Service
Medeco isn’t a brand you trust to a general handyman. The UL 437 high-security cylinders demand precise pinning, restricted keyway control, and correct strike alignment. Those are skills we practice daily, not a factory certificate hanging on a wall. We buy Medeco cylinders and keys through legitimate distribution and service them as an independent shop. No authorization, no partnership, no warranty relationship with Medeco. Just a documented roster that runs from Kwikset to Medeco to Abloy, and a team that knows the difference between a cylinder that needs re-pinning and a door that needs re-mortising.
Russ Thibodeau leads our shop, and he’s spent well over a decade working locks across North Texas. His oldest son started riding along on weekends recently, which Russ says is the best quality control he’s ever had. The lock either works or it doesn’t, and we make sure it works before we leave your driveway. For Savannah homeowners, that means someone who’s already seen your exact builder-grade prep and knows what a Medeco body needs to seat correctly in it.

Common Medeco Locksmith Problems We Solve in Savannah
Here’s what we actually run into in 75033, week after week:
- Summer bolt bind from clay-shift door movement. North Texas blackland-clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, and doors in Savannah shift with it. A Medeco Maxum bolt that throws cleanly in March won’t fully extend in July. The cylinder is fine. The strike and prep need correcting before any rekey will seat.
- Unauthorized duplicate keys from big-box machines. Restricted Medeco keyways are restricted for a reason. We’ve had Savannah customers bring in copies cut at a hardware store that won’t turn or have voided their key control entirely. We correct keyway control and reissue restricted keys through proper channels.
- Shallow builder-grade prep on Maxum retrofits. The standard Kwikset/Weiser deadbolt prep in these tract homes is often too shallow or slightly off-center for a Medeco Maxum body. The cylinder binds against the door slab. It’s a re-mortising job, not a drop-in swap.
- eCLIQ or electronic cylinder failures in Texas heat. Medeco eCLIQ and electronic cylinders on HOA-compliant smart-lock upgrades can lose programming or battery contact when summer temperatures spike. We diagnose the electronics before assuming mechanical failure.
- Rekey on resale with a mix of builder and Medeco hardware. Savannah sees steady turnover, and sellers want a clean keying story. If the front door has a Medeco deadbolt and the side door still has builder Kwikset, we rekey and, where it makes sense, key-alike or advise on a match that respects the HOA’s visible-hardware rules.
Medeco Service in Savannah: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Savannah is a Denton County master-planned suburb where nearly every home is builder-installed 2000s-2010s construction with a single factory deadbolt and matching knob. Locksmith work here is dominated by builder-grade hardware swaps, rekeys at resale, and HOA-compliant smart-lock upgrades. Almost every door in 75033 was hung by the same handful of builders, so each front-door lock is one of thousands of identical builder-spec Kwikset/Weiser sets across the subdivision. That means a Medeco retrofit here usually means re-mortising a standard builder prep to fit a Maxum body, and HOA rules push owners toward rekeying or hidden upgrades rather than visibly altered hardware. Our techs can anticipate the exact builder lockset on most Savannah doors, because we’ve worked enough of them to know what’s behind the trim plate before we take it off.
One example sticks with us. A homeowner in a 2000s tract subdivision off the 75033 builder grid called because her front-door Medeco Maxum bolt wouldn’t throw fully in the July heat. Our tech found the clay-shifted door had closed the gap at the strike, re-mortised the builder prep to seat the Maxum body, and re-pinned the cylinder so her restricted key worked cleanly while the HOA-visible hardware stayed unchanged. That’s the job, done right.
Medeco Models & Products We Service in Savannah
We work on the full Medeco lineup that makes sense for residential Savannah. The Medeco Maxum deadbolt is the most common retrofit request, and we stock the hardware and reinforcement plates to do it correctly on builder prep. The Medeco M3 and M3+ high-security cylinders are our go-to for rekeys when the customer wants pick- and bump-resistant key control. The Medeco Original deadbolt cylinder still shows up in older installs and rekeys cleanly when the body is sound. And we service Medeco eCLIQ electronic cylinders for the HOA-compliant smart-lock crowd, diagnosing battery and programming issues before touching the mechanical side. For high-security work we use genuine Medeco OEM cylinders, keys, and restricted key blanks. Quality aftermarket hardware only for non-security trim and reinforcement plates. When a Medeco cylinder is mechanically sound, we rekey and re-pin it rather than upsell a replacement. We replace only when the body, keyway, or electronics are genuinely compromised.
Medeco Service Pricing in Savannah
An honest range: a standard Medeco rekey in Savannah runs roughly $120 to $220 depending on cylinder count and keyway condition. Our Medeco service in Hackberry follows the same transparent pricing. A Medeco Maxum deadbolt install, including re-mortising builder prep where needed, typically lands between $250 and $400. eCLIQ electronic cylinder diagnosis and reprogramming starts around $90 and goes up if components need replacement. What drives the cost here is usually the prep work, not the cylinder. What you get with us: the price quoted on the phone is the price on the invoice. No call-out surcharge added on arrival, and no bait figure. Call (877) 626-0257 and we’ll give you a real number before anyone gets in the truck.

FAQs – Medeco Locksmith in Savannah
Yes, in most cases we can rekey a Medeco lock without the original restricted key card. The card controls authorized duplication, but a working key lets us decode the existing pins and re-pin the cylinder to a new restricted key. If you’ve lost all keys, we can still rekey by disassembling the cylinder. Call (877) 626-0257 and we’ll tell you exactly what your situation requires.
Summer sticking in Savannah is almost always door shift, not the lock. Blackland-clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, and doors move enough that the bolt no longer lines up with the strike. We’ll correct the strike and prep alignment, then rekey if you want fresh key control while we’re there. If your bolt is binding every July, call us before the heat peaks: (877) 626-0257.
Usually yes, but not as a drop-in. Savannah’s builder-grade Kwikset/Weiser prep is often too shallow or slightly off-center for a Maxum body, so the cylinder binds against the door slab. We re-mortise the prep to seat the Maxum correctly, install the reinforcement plate, and align the strike. It’s the difference between a deadbolt that works for a decade and one that fights you every season.
We do. Medeco eCLIQ and electronic cylinders show up on HOA-compliant smart-lock upgrades in Savannah, and Texas heat can cause battery contact or programming failures. We diagnose the electronics before assuming mechanical failure. If the cylinder is electrically sound, we rekey and re-pin it rather than replacing it.
No, not directly. Kwikset and Medeco use different keyways and pinning systems, so a single key that operates both isn’t mechanically possible. What we can do in Savannah is rekey the Medeco to a restricted key and rekey the Kwikset locks on their own key, or walk you through which doors make sense to upgrade to a matched Medeco set. Call (877) 626-0257 for a straight answer on your setup, free of charge.
