Where to start
Think of this page as a menu rather than a manual. You do not need to know the name of the part or the type of cylinder in your door. Pick the section that sounds closest, read what the visit looks like, and we will fill in the details together.
Lockouts
Lockout Services
Business lockouts have their own wrinkle: the person at the door is often an employee, not the owner. We ask who can authorise entry, confirm it, and then deal with the door.
Home Lockout ServiceAfter a week of humid weather the back door has swollen in its frame.
Business Lockout ServiceThe manager who holds the only set of office keys is on a plane.
Broken Key ExtractionThe padlock on the shed has been stiff all summer.
Break-In Damage Lock RepairThey did not get in.
Seized & Jammed Lock OpeningThe key slides all the way in, exactly as it has for years, and then refuses to turn in either direction.
Lost Keys — Same-Visit RekeyThe spare under the planter by the side door is gone.
Change or rekey
Change or Rekey Locks
Your home should be easy for you to get into and hard for anyone else. That balance is the point of every residential service we offer, from a simple rekey to a full hardware upgrade, and we will tell you which one you actually need.
Lock RekeyingEvery copy of your house key seems to work a little differently. One needs a jiggle, another sticks halfway, and the original wore down years ago.
Deadbolt InstallationThe bolt on the front door is keyed on both sides. Getting out at night means finding the key in the dark, and with a toddler in the house you have decided the inside should turn by hand.
Lock Replacement & UpgradeSomeone tried the back door while you were away. The jamb is splintered around the strike, the bolt is bent, and the knob turns with a grinding feel.
Vintage Mortise Lock ServiceAfter a wet summer the entry door sits lower in its frame. The lock works perfectly when the door is open, but with it shut you have to lift the handle and shoulder the door to get the deadbolt to throw.
Smart Lock InstallationYou have just taken possession of the house and the previous owners handed over a keypad deadbolt with a code nobody wrote down and an app account you cannot get into. It needs to become yours, properly, or be replaced.
Gate & Building Entry LocksThe padlock on the side gate has gone stiff every winter for three years running, and this year the key simply will not turn past the first few pins. Salt spray off the road and a season of meltwater have left the…
Mailbox Lock ReplacementYou've just moved in, and the mailbox compartment in the lobby came with a single key the previous owner mailed back separately, or never handed over at all. As far as anyone can tell, the lock still answers to a…
High security
High Security Locks
Businesses use this section for stockrooms, cash offices, server closets and pharmacies: doors that must hold whatever happens to the power, with keys numbered and issued against a signature. Homeowners use it for the doors they lock every night.

Commercial
Commercial Locks
Commercial work begins with a walk through the building and a list of doors. For each we note the hardware, the traffic, who needs access and what happens if the key goes missing.
Car keys
Car Keys
Key programming is a conversation between our equipment and the vehicle's computer. The car is told about the new key and, if you ask, told to forget the old ones.
Car Lockout ServiceYou dropped the duffel bag in the trunk, closed the lid with your elbow, and heard the keys land inside a heartbeat too late.
Car Key ReplacementThe key snapped at the head while you were turning it in a stiff, frosty door lock.
Spare Car Key DuplicationThe proximity fob has ridden in a pocket for years, the range feels shorter than it used to, and a dashboard warning mentioned a…
Key Fob ProgrammingA new driver has joined the household, and the one existing fob is the only key anyone has ever had cut for this vehicle.
Transponder Key ProgrammingA second driver has joined the household, and the one existing key gets handed back and forth between two schedules that rarely…
Ignition Lock RepairAfter a slushy week the key barely reaches accessory before it stalls, gritty and reluctant, where it used to move cleanly…
Vehicle Lock RepairSince the last heavy rain, the front passenger door has needed two or three tries before the key catches, and moisture seems to…
Motorcycle & Scooter KeysYou dig through every jacket pocket and the tank bag twice, but the ignition key that always sits on the same ring is nowhere to…
