Homes and rentals in Warr Acres
Warr Acres began as housing additions. Clyde B. Warr laid out the first Warr Acres addition in 1937, and in 1948 residents of eleven additions, including Putnam City, incorporated as a city. Single-family homes and apartments kept filling in through the decades after. Most homes here are owner-occupied today, with a sizable share of rentals, so keys change hands when a house sells or a lease turns over. What we handle for Warr Acres homes and rentals:
- Locked out of the house: start on home lockout. We verify you belong at the address before we open the door.
- Just moved in: rekey after moving so the previous owner's or tenant's keys stop working. Prefer new hardware? See change locks after moving.
- A key went missing or a roommate left: rekey after stolen or shared keys.
- A worn lock on an older door: lock change or lock replacement, matched to the door you have.
- Keyless entry for the family: smart lock installation for keypad and smart deadbolts.
- The sliding door to the patio: sliding and patio door locks.
Not sure whether to rekey or replace? Call and describe the lock, and we'll recommend the practical option. You can also read rekey vs replace first. Landlords and managers with units in Warr Acres can see our property manager locksmith page for turnover rekeys.
Shops and offices along MacArthur and Northwest Expressway
Warr Acres' shopping districts grew up in the 1960s and 1970s where MacArthur meets 39th, 50th, and 63rd streets and the Northwest Expressway, and shopping still lines MacArthur, the Northwest Expressway, and Route 66. Shops and offices change tenants and staff over the years. For a shop, office, or suite:
- After a staff change or a lost key: commercial rekey so old keys stop working.
- Locked out of the suite: commercial lockout.
- A front door that takes heavy traffic: grade-appropriate commercial locks.
- A door that slams or won't latch: door closer installation and repair.
- Exit doors: panic bar installation for doors that need push-bar egress.
For everything else on the business side, start at commercial locksmith.
