FAQS

​

 

I've lost my keys, what should I do?

 

There are a lot of options: we can come out to your house, open the door and then replace the cylinders; we can fit some keys or take the locks to our shop in order to re-key them. The ideal option will depend on your budget and needs. We can help you to take the best decision.

Can you make all my locks work from one key?

 

Sure! We can rekey all your locks and make them work from one key; however, if there are some locks with different profiles, we may have to replace those.

 

Will you damage my car or locks when opening during a lockout?

 

Absolutely no. We have trained  professionals that can open your car without causing a scratch, by using a tool specially developed for your vehicle or just using the right control or key. Trunk lockouts can have a different procedure: if there's a manual latch to open the trunk inside the car, then the locksmith will open the door but if there isn't (like in some luxury cars), a new key will be made at the moment.

Just call us! Our professional team carry remote control keys, that could be programmed to respond to your car on site. If your car works with traditional keys, or a transponder key (with an inner microchip) our automotive locksmiths can make a basic replacement key in a few minutes.

 

We have a new home, should we replace all locks?

 

Yes! It's a basic security rule, because you don't know who else owns a key for your new home, potentially risking your home security. Just think about how many people could have a duplicate, you don't know if they have bad intentions. Besides, some insurance company doesn't pay if the door was opened with a key. It's better to rekey all the existing locks or replace them completely. Call us for advise and/or a budget.
