Locksmith
Ways we can help you
The list below is long because doors are varied, not because we want to sell you more than you need. Most calls end with one service. Read the one that fits, note what the page asks you to have ready, and get in touch when it suits you.
Lockout Services
A lockout is stressful in proportion to how long it drags on.
Home Lockout ServiceYou stepped out to grab the recycling bin and the door swung shut behind you.
Business Lockout ServiceMinus eighteen with a wind, and the exterior cylinder on the shop door has frozen solid overnight after yesterday's slush.
Broken Key ExtractionYou were locking up on the way out when the key broke in the lock.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThe patio slider is sitting crooked on its track.
Seized & Jammed Lock OpeningThe key slides all the way in, exactly as it has for years, and then refuses to turn in either direction.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyThe keys fell out of a gym bag somewhere between the arena and the parking lot.
Change or Rekey Locks
Residential services are for the everyday building you live in, whether owned or rented.
Lock RekeyingYour basement tenant has given notice, and a new one arrives on the first.
Deadbolt InstallationThe front door has a handsome lever and a keyed knob, and that is all.
Lock Replacement & UpgradeThe century home's original mortise lock takes a key the size of a spoon, sticks in humid weather and has worn its strike to a groove.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceThe old skeleton key still fits the keyhole, but it now needs a jiggle, a lean on the door and a little luck before the bolt moves.
Smart Lock InstallationArthritis has made the small house key hard to grip and turn, especially with gloves on in January.
Gate & Building Entry LocksThe padlock on the side gate has gone stiff every winter for three years running, and this year the key simply will not turn past the first few pins.
Mailbox Lock ReplacementAfter a winter of road spray and salt, the little lock on the mailbox door has gone stiff, then gritty, then almost immovable.
High Security Locks
A high security cylinder uses extra locking elements, sidebars, finger pins or rotating discs, that a pick or a bump key cannot line up.
Safe Opening & Combination ChangeDecades of daily use have left the law firm's old dial safe drifting: the numbers line up close to where they should, never quite enough to drop the bolt.
Safe Installation & ServicingBehind the filing cabinets sits a heavy floor safe nobody ever bolted down, left exactly as the last owner set it.
High Security LocksAfter the attempted break-in the police officer pointed at your door and said the strike plate was held by two short screws.
Commercial Locks
A commercial key plan should survive the person who set it up.
Commercial RekeyingTwo people left over the summer and the keys they handed back came up one short.
Master Key System DesignThe new wing was built with its own brand of cylinder, so the two-year-old keys from the original building do not open a single door in the addition.
Access Control InstallationDeliveries arrive before anyone is scheduled to be there, which right now means either propping the loading dock open at dawn or handing a key to a driver you have never met.
Panic & Exit HardwareSomeone at the front counter always has to unlock the side door by hand before the lunch rush, because the round doorknob out there was never meant to be an exit for a room this size.
Commercial-Grade Lock ReplacementThe kitchen delivery door gets shouldered open more than a hundred times a shift, and lately the latch slips past the strike plate instead of catching it on the first push.
Car Keys
Car lockouts are the one automotive job where you are most aware of the clock, so we keep the phone call short: where you are, what the vehicle is, whether anyone or any animal is inside, and how to reach you.
Car Lockout ServiceYou stepped out at the pump to pay inside, the passenger locked their door out of habit, and the driver's door caught behind you.
Car Key ReplacementAfter fifteen years the blade has worn to a smooth sliver.
Spare Car Key DuplicationA lockout last month ended with a locksmith opening the door and going home, and the same single key has been carried ever since with nothing behind it.
Key Fob ProgrammingA new driver has joined the household, and the one existing fob is the only key anyone has ever had cut for this vehicle.
Transponder Key ProgrammingThe car came with a single key when the sale went through, and that key is the only thing standing between the household and being stranded.
Ignition Lock RepairHalf the key is still in your hand.
Vehicle Lock RepairSince the last heavy rain, the front passenger door has needed two or three tries before the key catches, and moisture seems to sit along the seal right where the lock is mounted.
Motorcycle & Scooter KeysThe bike came home from its previous owner with a single worn key that starts the engine but does nothing for the seat latch or the fuel cap, both of which answer to keys nobody handed over.
