Lock and key work in Highland Park
Detached homes have more entry points than apartments, and the side or garage door is often the one with the weakest lock. A walk-around check of every exterior door is a good starting point. We can upgrade strike plates, add deadbolts and rekey the lot so you carry a single key.
Typical jobs here include:
- Installing keyless and smart locks
- Broken key removal
- Securing doors after a break-in
- Fixing ignitions that stick or will not turn
- Deadbolt installation and upgrades
- Installing exit devices on fire doors
Services in focus
Safes and file cabinets
A locked file cabinet or a safe that will not open can hold up a whole day. Our technicians use manipulation and bypass methods before anything destructive. We also supply replacement cabinet and safe locks. More about safes and file cabinets.
Broken key extraction
Do not push a broken key further in or try superglue. Leave it for a locksmith with extraction picks, who can remove it cleanly. If the lock was worn, we can replace it on the same visit. More about broken key extraction.
What to have ready when you call
Have the street address, the type of door or vehicle and a short description of the problem. For cars, note the make, model and year. A photo of the lock can help us bring the right parts.
After a break-in
A break-in often exposes the weakest door. Once it is secure again, consider a higher-grade deadbolt, a reinforced strike and longer screws into the framing.
How a visit works
Our process is simple: describe the problem, agree the quote, and a mobile technician comes to your address. Most work is completed in a single visit because common hardware travels in the van. If a special part is needed, we explain the timing and cost first.
