I lost my house keys and I'm locked out, so can you get me back in and cut new keys on the spot?
We come to the property and use non-destructive entry when possible, then cut replacement keys on site or rekey the lock if that’s safer. We carry blanks and key-cutting gear for common residential cylinders, and we’ll discuss whether to duplicate the existing key or change the lock cylinder for better security.
I want a stronger deadbolt for my front door, so what are my options and what would you recommend?
We inspect the door, jamb, and existing strike before recommending a deadbolt. Options include single-cylinder, double-cylinder, and grade-rated deadbolts, plus reinforced strike plates and longer screws for the strike and hinge screws. We explain the trade-offs in security and convenience and fit the hardware that matches your door and lock type.
My door lock is sticking and hard to turn after the storm, so can you repair it or do I need a replacement?
We’ll examine the cylinder, latch, and strike to identify corrosion, swelling, or misalignment. Often cleaning, lubrication with proper lock oil, and adjusting the strike solves sticking. If the cylinder is worn or rusted, we advise replacing it and show compatible options so you get a smooth-turning lock matched to your door and use.
