Smart locks, high-security hardware and rekeys for Carlsbad homes
Most Carlsbad homes were built between the 1980s and the 2020s in master-planned tracts, and most of those doors still carry the builder's original deadbolt. These are the three upgrades we fit most often.
Smart lock installation
A keypad or app deadbolt fitted to your door, matched to your HOA finish and set up on your phone before we leave.
From $149 to fit a lock you own
Smart lock installationHigh-security locks
Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinders that resist picking and bumping, with keys no hardware-store kiosk can copy.
From $195 per cylinder
High-security locksRekeying after a move
Just closed in Robertson Ranch or La Costa? Front door, garage entry and side gate on one new key, and every old key dead.
From $25 per cylinder
Rekeying and move-inBusiness doors on the Palomar Airport Road corridor
Offices, labs and flex suites off Palomar Airport Road, plus Village storefronts, get two kinds of work from us: electronic access control and mechanical door hardware.
Access control for offices and labs
Cards, fobs or phone credentials, so a departing employee's badge is switched off the same day instead of rekeying the building.
$1,200–$2,800 per door
Access control for offices MechanicalCommercial locksmith
Master key systems, panic bars, door closers and lock changes when staff leave, from State Street storefronts to Faraday Avenue suites.

You hear a firm figure on the phone or at the door, and it does not change once we are working unless you change the job. Three common Carlsbad jobs:
What happens when you call
Calling Tamarack Security takes three steps, and you know the figure before anyone drives over.
-
A quote on the phone
Tell us the door, the lock and what you want it to do. You get a firm figure, or a range with the reason, before we book. A photo of the door by text helps.
-
A real arrival window
We give you a window we can keep, based on where the van is in Carlsbad, not a promise of minutes. Hours are Mon–Sat 7 AM–7 PM · Sun 8 AM–5 PM.
-
ID at the door, then the work
On a lockout we confirm you live there or own the property before we open anything. On installs we align the door and adjust the strike so the lock throws cleanly.
