From a home lockout to a storefront access problem, vehicle lockout or failed lock, we inspect the situation first and choose the appropriate way to restore access or secure the property without replacing working hardware unnecessarily.
Locked Out of Your Home
If your door closes behind you, your keys are inside or the lock will not open, we inspect the door and lock before opening it. The goal is to restore access without replacing the lock when the existing hardware can remain reliable.

After We Restore Access
Repair, Rekey or Replace? We Inspect the Lock First
Restoring access may solve the immediate emergency, but the lock can still be jammed, damaged, worn or no longer reliable. We inspect the hardware first and determine whether repair, rekeying or replacement is actually needed.
Lock Repair
When the existing lock can be returned to reliable operation, we repair the problem instead of replacing serviceable hardware unnecessarily.
- Jammed lock mechanisms
- Deadbolts that will not move correctly
- Latch or strike alignment problems
- Loose or damaged lock hardware
- Lock damage after an attempted break-in
Lock Rekeying
If the lock itself is still in good condition but you no longer want an existing key to work, we can rekey the lock rather than replace the complete hardware.
- Lost or unaccounted-for keys
- Access changes after a move
- Former employee or tenant access
- Existing lock still in serviceable condition
- Old keys need to stop working
Lock Replacement
When a lock is too damaged, too worn or no longer reliable, we replace the hardware rather than leave an insecure or failing lock in service.
- Severely damaged lock mechanisms
- Hardware that cannot be repaired reliably
- Worn or failing locks
- Security upgrade after damage
- Replacement after forced-entry damage
We Do Not Replace a Lock Just Because It Is an Emergency
We diagnose the actual problem first. If the existing lock can be repaired and remain reliable, we repair it. If the hardware is sound but the old keys should no longer work, we rekey it. If the lock is damaged beyond a reliable repair, we replace it.
Door or Lock Damaged After Forced Entry?
We inspect the affected lock and door hardware, identify what has been damaged and determine whether repair or replacement is needed to restore a reliable access point.
