Is this urgent?
An emergency locksmith call usually involves immediate access or security rather than a planned upgrade.

You cannot access your home, business or vehicle and need help regaining entry.

There is no spare available and the property or vehicle cannot be used normally.

A lock or latch problem is preventing a door from locking properly.

The key broke, the cylinder stopped operating or the hardware is no longer functioning as expected.

I may be able to generate, cut and program a replacement for many vehicles.

You may only need vehicle lockout service, not a replacement key.

Still have one working key? This may be a good time to make a spare or duplicate.

The cause may be the battery,
remote, programming, key,
ignition or another vehicle issue.

If you cannot get into your house, apartment or condo, tell me what type of door and lock you have and whether another entry point is available.
I evaluate the lock before deciding the appropriate entry method. A lockout does not automatically mean the lock has to be drilled or replaced.
Identification and appropriate proof that you are authorized to enter the property may be required before service.

Identification and appropriate proof that you are authorized to access the business or make lock changes may be required.

Door Will Not Lock or Stay Secure?

If a door will not lock, the cause may be the lock, latch, cylinder, alignment, strike or another part of the hardware.
I can inspect the problem and determine whether the issue appears to require adjustment, repair, rekeying or replacement within the locksmith work I perform.
If the door or frame is structurally damaged beyond locksmith hardware, additional repair by another trade may be needed.
Broken Hardware
Key Broke or Lock Stopped Working?

If a key breaks in a lock or the cylinder stops turning, avoid repeatedly forcing the remaining key or hardware.
Tell me whether part of the key is still inside the lock, whether the door is open or closed, and what the lock was doing before it failed.
The correct service may be extraction, repair, rekeying, replacement or another solution depending on the lock and condition of the hardware.
