Everything you need to know about our locksmith and security services — straight answers, no runaround.
For residential and commercial lockouts we aim to arrive within 30 minutes of your call. Response time varies by location and traffic, but we will give you an honest ETA when you call — not a vague window.
Almost never. Trained locksmiths use non-destructive entry techniques for the vast majority of residential lockouts. We'll only resort to drilling if the lock is truly unpickable — and we'll tell you upfront before we do anything that damages the hardware.
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration so old keys no longer work — the lock body stays. Replacing swaps the entire lock. Rekeying is typically $25–$50 per lock and is the right choice when your lock is in good condition but you want new keys (after a move, lost key, or tenant change). Replacing makes sense when the lock is damaged or you want to upgrade the security rating.
Still have questions?
Call us — we pick up and give you a straight answer.
Yes — we can cut and program replacement keys for most makes and models, including transponder keys and key fobs, using the VIN number and proof of ownership. This is often faster and less expensive than going through a dealership.
Yes. We install and program smart locks from Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and other brands. We'll walk you through setup and make sure remote access, guest codes, and auto-lock features are configured correctly before we leave.
For a residential lockout we need your address and a photo ID confirming you live there. For a vehicle lockout we need the vehicle registration or title. For commercial properties we'll verify you have authorization to access the space.
Yes — we design and install keypad systems, card reader access control, master-key systems, and high-security commercial deadbolts. We can assess your building and recommend a solution that fits your security needs and budget.
