What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, as well as cash and business checks.
What if my business uses a keyless entry or electronic lock system?
Our technicians are trained and equipped to handle all types of modern locking systems, including electronic keypads, card readers, and biometric scanners. We have the diagnostic tools to troubleshoot electronic lock malfunctions and can provide access without damaging the system. We can also assist with reprogramming or resetting the system if needed.
My key broke off inside the lock. Can you get it out?
Yes, this is a common issue that we can resolve quickly. Our locksmiths use professional key extraction tools to safely remove the broken piece from the lock cylinder without causing further damage. Once the broken piece is removed, we can typically cut a new key for you on the spot.
What should I do if I believe my keys were stolen?
If you suspect your keys have been stolen, getting back into your property is only the first step. For your security, we strongly recommend rekeying your locks immediately. Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of the lock so that the old, stolen key will no longer work. This is a fast and cost-effective way to restore security to your business without having to replace the entire lock.
