Locksmith in Bridgeport, PA

We open the safe where it stands, working with the lock and mechanism in place to gain access. Tell us the safe’s make and model if you know it and whether it uses a dial, a keypad, or a key before we arrive. Before we open the safe, we go over a photo ID plus a receipt or other record that the safe is yours with you.

We rekey the existing door locks so the old keys stop working, and when a lock is too worn to rekey we replace it with a new cylinder or lock. Gather every key that was handed over at the move so we can match and rekey the cylinders consistently. Before we rekey anything, expect us to ask for a photo ID plus the lease or deed for the home.

We remove the broken fragment from the keyway, then cut a new key to match and repair or replace the cylinder if it's damaged. Until we get there, stop turning the broken key and don’t insert anything into the keyway; keep both halves of the snapped key together so we can see the break and reproduce the cut.

We check the bolt and strike alignment and adjust the strike or bolt as needed; if the cylinder is worn we service or replace it. Until we see it, be gentle with the key and do not squirt oil into the lock. Have the door closed and any trim or additional locks’ keys on hand.
