Old Hickory is a village with a story — built as a DuPont company town during the First World War, wrapped around a peninsula on Old Hickory Lake, and full of historic homes with character you can't buy new. Character, though, comes with old doors and old hardware, and old hardware needs a locksmith who repairs instead of rips out. That's Empire Lock & Safe, serving the area since 1980 from our White House shop.

A lot of Old Hickory's original homes still carry locks and door hardware that have served for generations. Our approach: fix what's fixable, match what's replaceable, and never talk you into tearing out good bones. We handle lock repair and restoration-minded service, rekeying for new owners of historic homes, lock installation where an upgrade is genuinely the right call, and key duplication.

The lake side of the village brings the modern work too: newer and custom homes on the water often have premium doors with multipoint locking systems. That's our specialty — Empire is known nationwide as the Peachtree experts, and we repair HOPPE and Peachtree multipoint hardware that most locksmiths won't touch.

Everyday calls run around the clock: 24/7 emergency lockouts for homes, cars, and businesses, answered at 615-672-8888 by a real member of our team — never a machine or a call center. Old Hickory's churches and businesses get master keying and annual fire door inspections from our co-owner Ronica Wolbert, one of only a few Certified Fire Door Inspectors in America.

Old house, new house, lake house — if it's in Old Hickory, call Empire Lock & Safe at 615-672-8888. 24/7.
