What are master keys?
If you need to have several varied locks replaced, you may be wondering: What’s a master key? These keys are designed to unlock all locks in a lock system, while other keys are designed to open specific locks. In an office, for instance, a master key may provide you with access to storage space, as well as a server room — meanwhile, a specific, non-master key may only provide you with access to one of those rooms. Regardless of whether you need a master key created or specific keys created for your locks, we can help. Get in touch with us for more information and a free quote for your project
What is rekeying?
Rekeying is a process that involves disassembling your current locks and replacing the central locking component with a new component that is fitted for a different set of keys. Essentially, you’ll keep the hardware of your old locks, but the interior lock will be swapped out for a new key set.
Do you recommend new keys and locks for new homeowners?
Absolutely. While you may trust the previous homeowners, you really can’t know who has keys to your home. An old key can be left with a neighbor, one of the previous homeowners’ children, or even an HVAC repairman who forgot to return the key. While you may be a trusting person, and it’s likely that no harm will come from leaving the old locks on your doors, new locks provide complete protection. Better yet, they provide peace of mind for you and yours. In our eyes, that’s a priceless investment. Give us a call to replace the locks of your home. Or, if you prefer, you can have your home’s locks rekeyed to keep the same hardware on your doors.
Is it better to rekey my locks or to replace them?
It depends. While both options can help you to keep your property safe, each has unique benefits. Some folks prefer to rekey their likes because it is (usually) less expensive than changing the locks out altogether. Plus, some people prefer rekeying if they like the aesthetic of their old locks. However, others prefer to swap out their locks entirely if they want to go for a different look. In addition, folks opt to completely replace their locks if the old locks are falling apart. Old, outdated locks are more susceptible to a break-in. You may prefer to replace your locks if you want to upgrade the security of your home or property.
How do you make new keys?
New keys are crafted with specialized metal fabrication equipment. Our equipment can be utilized to create new keys for old locks, or to fabricate duplicate keys to match your current set.
Do you provide services for both commercial and residential clients?
Absolutely. We’re proud to help both homeowners and business owners with their locksmith needs. We provide locksmith services for buildings, homes, vehicles, and padlocks.
My key snapped off in the lock, what are my options?
It happens! When your key snaps off, you have two problems: You can’t get access to what you want, and you’ll need a new key. We can help. We know how to remove broken keys from their locks, and we can provide you with a duplicate if necessary. In extreme cases, where the key part cannot be removed from the lock, we can disassemble and replace the lock, or we can break the lock to give you access in an emergency scenario.
Will I need to provide proof of property ownership?
Yes. For the security of our clients we do require that they provide some sort of proof that you own the property that we’ll be working on. If you’re curious about valid proofs of ownership, please contact one of our locksmiths. Again, this is a measure that we take for your safety and security.
