Lockouts, Key Duplication, Re-Keying
If it’s a matter of not having a key, we can usually get you back inside within minutes. And a broken-off key doesn’t take us much longer. We can also make a key replacement and duplicate keys for you right on the spot.
But if you’ve lost a key, especially if you suspect it might have been stolen or fallen into the wrong hands, our rekey services quickly and economically restore your home’s security. That involves replacing just the inner mechanism and issuing new matching keys and costs way less than replacing the whole lock. That’s also important for new home purchases (who knows how many keys are out there?) and real estate agents.
We can also master key a house so that you’re back to one key for the front door, back door, and inside garage door — just like it should be. We’ll also take care of lost filing cabinet, desk drawer, and mailbox keys.
Lock Installation
Sometimes a lock is too badly damaged or simply too old and insecure to be repaired. That’s especially true for patio doors. They’re often worn from heavy use, making them a prime target for burglars. You can count on us for top-quality locks and installation. As part of our quality locksmith services, we install and service all major brands for your family’s safety and security. That’s also ideal for upgrading from developer and discount store hardware.
High-Security Locks
For added safety and peace of mind, many families call upon our residential locksmith services to upgrade to high-security locks. They’re made of stronger materials and have a more durable jimmy-proof design along with special features (such as unusual keyways and added mechanisms) that make picking and bumping pretty much impossible. So needless to say, with videos about lock picking and bumping tricks easily found on the internet we’re strong advocates of the latest and greatest.
