FAQ
Locksmith questions, answered
Real questions we get, answered without the sales spin.
I just bought a house — should I rekey?+
Yes, every time. You don't know who has copies — previous owners, their family, contractors, cleaners, real estate agents. A whole-home rekey is the cheapest peace of mind in real estate.
Is a smart lock secure?+
Modern smart locks from Schlage, Yale, August, and Level use AES encryption and rolling-code Bluetooth. They're at least as secure as a quality deadbolt and add audit trails (who entered when) you can't get from a brass key.
Will you damage my lock during a lockout?+
Almost never. We pick or bump the lock open in 90%+ of residential calls. If a lock is destroyed (broken keys, vandalized cylinders, deadbolts intentionally hardened) we'll show you why and quote replacement.
Do you cut keys for newer cars?+
Yes — most makes through current model year. Modern car keys require both cutting and chip-programming, both of which we do on-truck for most vehicles. Some luxury and very-recent models still require the dealer.
Can you set up multiple users on a smart keypad?+
Yes. Most smart locks support 20–250 unique codes (family, cleaners, dog walker, contractors). We help you set up the codes, label them in the app, and schedule restricted hours where it matters.
Are you available at 2am?+
Yes — we run 24/7 dispatch for emergency lockouts. After-hours rates apply but you'll know the price before the tech rolls.

“Showed up on time, diagnosed a bad capacitor in ten minutes, and replaced it for a fair price. They didn't try to sell me a whole new system like the last guy.”
