Home Security Locks
Report
Can your current home lock protect you and your family from unwanted visitors? Most homeowners are unaware of the security issues with the standard grade home locks. Did you know that you can secure your home with a better lock for only $100 more than the standard install lock product?
Re-Keying
Report
Changing a lock cylinder (rekeying lock) so that new keys operate them is a simple procedure for a locksmith and it instantly gives you a specific answer to who has your keys.
Lock Out
Report
Maybe you forgot your key inside, lost it, or worse, broke it off in the door. It's extremely frustrating when you're in need of residential lockout services or commercial lockout services. It can potentially be damaging no matter how it happened. If you've strategically hidden a key just in case, you might be saved, but don't forget that spare keys can pose a potential security risk.
Door Locks
Report
Sure you have to lock and unlock your doors every day, but you're just going through the motions. Not much thought goes into the effectiveness of the entry systems in place. Having secure access will keep you and your family safe while deterring theft.
Safes
Report
Floor safes are great for security but offer very little fire protection as well. The body of a floor safe is encased in concrete on five sides it is effective when it comes to security. The reason behind such low fire protection ratings is the fact that the door is exposed with no fire board to dissipate the heat.

Update 03/22/2022. Stopped in with a lock assembly out of my gun safe which I was missing the key - I literally wasn't in the store ten minutes - key blank identified and four keys cut and out the door. Super reasonable, professional, they ARE the "go to" security professionals. Thanks again Capital Lock, you guys are awesome. One other review said this is the "go to" lock shop in Madison - they were absolutely right. Professional, honest, and reasonably priced. I live about 40 minutes away and won't use anyone else - definitely worth the drive!

Capital Lock was able to get my locks changed the same day I called. They were honest, reliable, reasonable, and got the job done quickly! I'll go to them in the future!

We called with a door emergency at our business and Justin was out that afternoon with not only a repair but a remedy for issue. Installed a completely new store front door lock with a push lever and automatic locking. Clean, professional and extremely helpful. Will only use Capital Lock from now on.

Do not recommend purchasing locks here. They sold me a lock for over twice what I would have paid on Amazon and refused to lower the price. Naturally this did not come up until they had already rekeyed the lock. I understand that they need to make a profit, but their price ($249) versus the internet ($95) was egregious.

Got locked out of car. They said they could have someone out in 2 hours. 1 1/2 hours later they arrived. Only took a few minutes to unlock my car, didn't try to upcharge me or anything. Overall happy with the service. Service:Car lockouts

Locked out of my apartment and they charged me $138 for a guy to come and wave a fob on my door lock. He smelled like cigarettes and it just didn't feel professional. They have a contract with my apartment complex so we're forced to use them. Although they were upfront about the cost we didn't have the ability to shop around. I feel so bad for the people who can't afford such a large amount. It could really be devastating for lower income families.

Awesome experience! Called him and asked how long it would take to make duplicate keys. He said "just a couple minutes". It LITERALLY took less than a minute! Super nice guy, quality keys, and great prices. This is the go-to shop in Madison!

We had a great experience with Capital Lock and Justin in particular. He arrived early to both appointments (the walk through and the actual work) and went the extra mile to explain the project and new lock to us. He even fixed our loose door knob though it was unrelated to the lock project. Really great value for the work and the service!

I have used them twice in the last 2 weeks. Once at the hotel I manage, and the other time for my condo storage unit. Both times they got back to immediately and were there within about an hour. The situation for the hotel was for a guests room and was after hours. Fair prices, quick results, and excellent service. Can't beat that.

The technician was very polite and friendly, both when he came to re-key the locks and when he came back to re-attach the doorknob that fell off. My problem came over the weekend; my parents were locked out of the house, mainly because the doorknob had fallen off, but when they called the company they were told they would be charged the weekend emergency rate, even though it was Capital Lock's fault.

The icing on the cake was when I called Monday to complain, the reaction I got was, "sorry I had to go through that", but Sundays are for emergencies only. I don't know about you, but my 73-year old father trying to unscrew screens to get in the house in high heat and humidity might have resulted in an emergency of another kind. Fortunately the technician from Lock and Unlock was willing to come out but also gave my parents a tip on getting the door with no knob opened. Guess who I'll call the next time I need a locksmith?!

We had Capital Lock come and work on two exterior door locks shortly after we moved in to our home. They were professional, timely, friendly and have stood behind their work, as we needed to have them return to take a look at the front door a second time. I recommend them.

Great service! Their employee Kevin stayed after hours to assist me with my lock needs. Overall very happy with the timeliness and service that was provided.

Called with a question about programming an ignition key. Capital didn't have the technology at the time, but they were very helpful in referring me to another locksmith who did. Since businesses sometimes refuse to refer people to their competition, I thought it was worth acknowledging their good will in this case.
