Help Us Understand the Situation
What Information Helps When You Request Service?
You do not need to know the technical name of the problem. A few simple details about the location, lock, door or vehicle help us understand the situation before we respond to your service request.
What Type of Location?
Tell us whether the problem is at a house, apartment, storefront, office, other commercial property or vehicle.
What Happened?
Locked out, lost keys, broken key, difficult lock, forced-entry damage, move-in or another change in who should have access.
What Is the Lock Doing?
Tell us if the key will not turn, the lock sticks, the deadbolt binds, the latch will not engage or the door cannot be secured.
Can the Door Still Secure?
If the door opens but will not lock or secure reliably, tell us. That detail can change the type and urgency of the service needed.
How Many Locks or Cylinders?
For rekeying, an approximate number of locks or cylinders helps us understand the size of the request before service.
Is a Vehicle Involved?
For vehicle service, tell us whether the keys are locked inside, a key is broken or the mechanical lock itself is not operating correctly.
“My apartment deadbolt is difficult to turn.”
This tells us the issue is not simply a lockout and may require inspection of the lock, cylinder, alignment or related hardware.
“We moved in and want the old keys to stop working.”
This describes a key-control issue and points toward rekeying when the existing locks are still suitable for continued use.
