🔑 Need a New Deadbolt or Door K**b on a Door With No Existing Lock? 🔑

Ever wished you could add a lock—deadbolt, k**b, or even a smart electronic lock—to a door that’s never had one? You’re not alone! At G.I. Locksmith, we help Memphis homeowners, renters, and business owners install brand new locks on doors that have no hole at all.

Last week, we got a call from someone needing to secure an interior room. The catch? The door never had a lock. No problem! We came out, measured, drilled a fresh hole, and installed a Schlage Encode electronic deadbolt—giving them the privacy and peace of mind they needed. (Check out the before and after photos on our website!)

We can do this for any room—offices, bedrooms, closets, rental units, or even your front and back doors.
• Need to upgrade to keyless entry?
• Want to secure a home office or Airbnb space?
• Have a new build or old door with just a handle and no lock?

We handle it all—standard deadbolts, electronic smart locks, and even custom fresh installs where most companies say “no.”
We proudly serve Midtown, East Memphis, Downtown, and the tri-state area. (Looking at you West Memphis, AR and Southaven, MS)

🚪✨ Bringing History Back to Life – One Lock at a Time ✨🔑

We got a call from a homeowner in Midtown’s historic district (38104) who had a gorgeous vintage red door with an antique Corbin Russwin mortise lock… but it hadn’t worked in years. No key. Jammed mechanism. Sagging door.

Instead of replacing the door or installing modern hardware (which could cost thousands and ruin the charm), we rolled up our sleeves and:
✅ Opened and serviced the antique lock
✅ Rekeyed it using a rare RU45 key blank we keep in stock
✅ Lubricated all moving parts
✅ Fixed the door alignment so it closes like new

Now, the lock works beautifully, the door swings smoothly, and the home keeps its historic charm.

We work on all types of antique and vintage locks — skeleton key locks, rim locks, mortise locks, and more — across Memphis and the surrounding areas. Got a historic property with a stubborn lock? We can make it functional again while keeping its original character intact.

🚚 Freightliner Truck Lockout & Key Replacement in Memphis, TN 🚚

Today, we helped a major trucking company after one of their drivers was locked out of their 2021 Freightliner Cascadia at a popular truck stop off Lamar Avenue, Memphis (38106). Memphis is a key hub for logistics, with 18-wheelers like Freightliners, Volvos, Mack trucks, and Kenworth trucks constantly rolling through! 🛣️

The driver had lost his truck keys, so his company reached out asking, "Can you provide truck lockout services and cut Freightliner keys by code?" Of course, we were happy to step in. We specialize in cutting truck keys by code or VIN for semi-trucks like Freightliners, Peterbilt, Mack, and more.

We arrived at the truck stop in under 20 minutes. The driver had locked the keys inside, so we used advanced lock-picking tools to safely unlock the truck—check out the video footage below to see how we got it done quickly without causing damage. 🚛🔓

Then, we cut a brand-new key. The driver was back on the road in no time, and we were happy to help! ✨
