The most typical reason is when you’re locked out of an office, vehicle, or your home. The second popular reason our customers call us if to make care keys, remotes, keyfobs if lost or simply in need of a duplicate. Customers also call us to get into their safes when they lose keys or forget the combinations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

That depends whether it’s beyond repair or not. If it can be fixed, you should weigh the cost or replacement vs repair.

Yes, that’s what Master Key systems are all about. You use a single key to get into multiple locks. Anyone without the “master” key will have to use a unique key on each of the locks. For residential purposes, you can simply re-key the locks and create a master key system.<\/p>\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, we can definitely help you regain access to your apartment.

We suggest you do, even if your realtor disagrees. Even in new homes, you have no way of knowing who has keys. So, why not opt for the most secure method and change all the locks when you move in. If you want something less complex, you can get the locks re-keyed, which means you’ll not need to fully replace them but will be able to use a new, unique key to open them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It’s up to you, but many people do so for the purpose of security. The fact is that you just don’t know who could find your lost keys and try to rob your home or damage it.

Do I need to change my locks or just have my existing locks re-keyed?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It depends on several factors that are specific to each job. You should know that “changing” means replacing the entire lock mechanism. Re-keying simply means changing the cylinder so the lock can be opened with a different key. Usually, you’ll want re-keying done rather than changing the locks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Of course. Picking does not damage a lock when it’s done by a professional.
