Arrival times, prices, lockouts, car keys, rekeys and our license. If your question is not here, call us and ask.
Before we touch the lock, you know what it will cost.
Call if you need someone right now. Otherwise send this and we will contact you back.
In an emergency we aim to be there in 25 to 35 minutes. Traffic in the city changes by the hour, so when you call we give you a real time for where you are. Not urgent? Pick the time. Same day, later in the week or on the weekend, whatever works for you.
Before we touch the lock, you know what it will cost. The price depends on the job, the lock and the car, which is why we ask a few questions first instead of reading out a number that changes at the door.
Yes, every night of the year. About one job in seven that we finish starts with a call between nine at night and seven in the morning.
Yes. The phone is answered every day of the year, holidays included.
Not urgent? Pick the time. Same day, later in the week or on the weekend, whatever works for you.
In most cases, no. We open the door without damage wherever the lock allows it, and if it does not, we tell you before we do anything.
Identification that ties you to the address, like a lease, a bill or an ID with the address on it. We check before we open any door.
Yes. Interior doors, bedrooms and bathrooms included.
If they can get to you quickly with a key, yes. That is the cheapest way back in.
For most cars, yes. We make the key to the lock and then program it to the car. Some model years are closed to anyone outside a dealership, and if yours is one of them we tell you on the phone.
Usually not. With no key left we make one to the lock and program it to the car, on the street, without a tow.
In most cases, no. The van carries cutting and programming equipment and the work happens where the car is parked.
Not when it is done with the right tools. Modern doors have airbags, wiring and sensors inside, and that is why we do not use wedges and coat hangers.
Yes. Identification and the registration, or another document that ties you to the car. We check every time.
If the lock works well and you only need the old keys to stop working, rekey. If the hardware is worn, damaged or too weak for the door, change it. The difference, explained.
Rekeying, in most cases, because the hardware stays on the door.
Yes. You cannot know how many copies of the old key exist, and a rekey settles it.
Yes, if the new locks are keyed alike. Ask for it when you call.
Yes. The phone is answered at night and on weekends the same way it is at noon.
In an emergency we aim to be there in 25 to 35 minutes. We give you the real time on the phone.
Each lock is set up so it accepts its own key and a master key. People carry one key that opens exactly what they should, and the master opens everything.
