Defiant lock FAQ
Can you rekey a Defiant lock to match my other keys?
Often yes, when the other locks use a compatible keyway. If they do not, we can swap cylinders so one key works everywhere.
Do you carry Defiant locks on the van?
Common Defiant models and parts are stocked. For special finishes or less common models we confirm availability when you call.
How long does a Defiant installation take?
A straight replacement takes about 20 to 30 minutes per lock. A fresh installation that needs the door drilled takes longer.
Defiant is a trademark of its owner. Mobile Locksmith DC is an independent locksmith and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the manufacturer.
