Courtyard and mid-rise apartment buildings mean lots of mailbox locks, unit locks and shared entry doors; we handle all of them.
What happens when you call
Most jobs are finished in a single visit because our vans carry key blanks, cutting machines, programming tools and common locks.
For lockouts we check ID or proof of residence. If your ID is inside, we can usually confirm it once the door is open.
Arrival times depend on traffic and how many calls are ahead of yours. We'll call you if our estimate changes.
Security tips
- Write down your car's key code or VIN and keep it somewhere safe; it makes a replacement key easier.
- If a key is starting to bend or crack, have a new one cut from the code or an unworn key before it snaps in the lock.
- Check that your deadbolt throws fully. If you have to push or lift the door, the strike needs adjusting.
- Change smart lock batteries on a schedule rather than waiting for the low-battery warning.
