Why Snellville Homeowners Choose Strongbox Lock & Safe Co.
Snellville’s neighborhoods keep us busy, and that’s the way we like it. In the subdivisions off Scenic Highway - Brookwood, Britt’s Crossing, the older plats near Centerville-Rosebud Road - we’ve adjusted more strike plates and replaced more swollen-jamb deadbolts than we can count. The homeowners who call us are often the second or third family to own these 1980s and 1990s tract homes, and they’ve learned the hard way that not every locksmith who answers the phone sends someone who knows how Gwinnett County’s humidity affects a wood door frame.
We’ve built our reputation here on being the opposite of that $19-ad operator who quotes low and invoices high. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry company ID. The price we quote is the price you pay. And if something isn’t right, we come back - no paperwork to file, no argument, no extra charge. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and we’ve honored it for over 42 years.
Seniors and veterans save 5% on every job. We also run a standing $89 Seasonal Tune-Up special that catches alignment issues before they strand you outside your own door.

Why Snellville’s Climate & Housing Affect Your Locks
Snellville’s rapid residential buildout during the 1980s and 1990s created a dense belt of HOA subdivision tract homes - now 30 to 40 years old - that almost universally retain their original builder-grade Kwikset deadbolts. Georgia’s high summer humidity causes wood door jambs in these homes to swell and shift seasonally, making misaligned or binding deadbolts the single most common locksmith call in Snellville, and the high ownership and rental-tenant turnover in these aging subdivisions drives constant re-key demand that neighboring newer-construction suburbs like Grayson simply do not see at the same volume.
In the large 1990s subdivisions off Scenic Highway and Centerville-Rosebud Road, original Kwikset knob-plus-deadbolt combos are now 25-35 years old and the strike plates have drifted from decades of humidity cycling. Experienced Snellville locksmiths find strike-plate misalignment on nearly every other call in those neighborhoods, making a simple re-key visit routinely turn into a strike-plate adjustment or full deadbolt replacement. The January 2014 ice event that paralyzed Gwinnett County also taught us something specific about this area: homes with north- or east-facing front doors saw keyways ice over solid, generating emergency lockout calls concentrated in those same subdivisions. We remember which orientations and which builder door setups are prone to it.
The smaller cluster of 1960s-1970s ranch homes near the original US-78 corridor presents a different profile. Some still run original knob-only locksets with no deadbolt at all - a security upgrade we handle regularly in that older core, often for homeowners who’ve been in place twenty years and are finally making the house right for the long stay.
