Locks, keys, safes and access
Our work covers doors and the things that secure them: locks, keys, cylinders, safes, keypads and the electronic hardware that has quietly replaced keys in many buildings. The groups below help you find the right page, and the phone number helps when reading is not the mood.
Lockouts
Lockout Services
Not every jammed lock is broken. Sometimes a pin has shifted, a spring has weakened or the bolt is binding on a frame that moved with the seasons.
Home Lockout ServiceThe key slides in and turns all the way round, but the bolt stays put.
Business Lockout ServiceMinus eighteen with a wind, and the exterior cylinder on the shop door has frozen solid overnight after yesterday's slush.
Broken Key ExtractionOvernight the deadbolt froze, and this morning the key would only turn partway.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairSomeone smashed the little window beside the door, reached in and turned the thumb-turn.

Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyYour purse was taken from the back of a chair at a restaurant.

Commercial
Commercial Locks
Commercial doors are used by staff, customers, cleaners and deliveries, all with different needs and none of them careful. The hardware has to be built for that, and the keying plan has to make sense to whoever manages the building next year.
Car keys
Car Keys
From a fob that needs a fresh battery and a re-pair to a full set of keys made for a vehicle that has none, the automotive pages describe the range. Each one lists what to have ready and what happens at the vehicle.
