FAQ’s

Can one key open all my locks?
-Yes, it can be done provided all the locks are the same brand. This is called “Keyed Alike.”

Don’t you have a master key that opens everything?
-No! If that were the case, criminals would have them, too!

Can you copy keys in your van?
​-Yes! We pride ourselves on offering a full-service mobile lock shop.

Do I need to “change” my locks?
-Changing the locks means physically replacing the entire lock. Most clients need re-keying; the lock stays and the pins inside are changed for a new key! The old key will no longer work.

Do you have any advice for someone remodeling or renovating?
-​​Yes! Add a locksmith to your list of professionals to consult BEFORE the project starts!

Am I protected if my keys are stamped “DO NOT DUPLICATE”?
​-Keys stamped “DO NOT DUPLICATE” offer you no security. Anyone can still copy that key. However, PATENTED KEYS are the most secure. They can only be purchased from a professional locksmith. And, the key can only be copied if you are on an assigned list.

Do you only copy keys and let someone in when they are locked out?
-Yes, we do both of these things, but we offer so much more! We re-key locks, install deadbolts, door closers, crash bars, and create master keys, to name just a few of our services!

When is the best time to re-key your locks?
-We recommend re-keying when you purchase a new home, after you have renovations done, or even after having some in home care.
