FAQ's

​

Why should I call a Professional Locksmith?

A professional Locksmith has years of experience in dealing with all types of locks, as well as residential and commercial security.  A professional locksmiths wealth of knowledge allows him to diagnose and resolve your lock issues in an efficient and effective manner. 



I just bought a new home, should I get new locks?

​Not necessarily.  The locks that are currently on your home may be good quality locksets.   You may want to change them for asthetic reasons (they just don't look nice or decorative enough for your taste) However, you should change the keys as soon as possible.  You never know who the old owners gave copies of the keys to, or how many realtors still may have copies.  Just because the old owners trusted these people, doesn't mean you should.



Why do I have trouble locking or unlocking my door?​

There may be many reasons why your door isn't locking or unlocking properly.  Your lock or keys may be worn and need replacement.  Your door, frame or hinges may need repair or replacement.  Your lock could need to be rekeyed or lubricated.  It could even be an obstruction that you don't see.  You can troubleshoot all day, or you can call a qualified professional to diagnose your problem and repair it quickly. 



Why can't I just take apart the lock myself?​

Even if you are sure that you should be able to take the lock apart, and repair it yourself, you shouldn't. There's many small parts  that can easily be lost, or not put back in the right way.  You may end up getting the lock jammed in a locked or unlocked position.  You can also get your keys stuck in the lock. These problems can cost your more in time and money than if you called a professional locksmith in the first place.
