Rule of the job1 of 3
Making the door safe first
The priority is a door that closes and locks tonight. We assess the frame, the strike and the lock, and secure whatever was forced so you can stop worrying about the opening.

Sound hardware, straight answers.
Nobody should have to take a locksmith's word on faith, so we build every visit around choices you can see. Two cylinders side by side, one basic and one with better pick resistance. A rekey versus a full replacement, with the trade-offs said out loud. A traditional car key against a fob, and what each means day to day. We give you our honest opinion when asked, and then we step back. The lock is going on your door, the key is going in your pocket, and the decision belongs to you. That, more than any particular piece of hardware, is what we want you to remember about the visit.

Some damage needs a proper repair later; some can be fixed on the spot. We separate the two clearly and explain what a lasting fix involves without pushing you into it.
Rule of the job3 of 3
If keys were taken or the lock was compromised, we rekey or replace before leaving. You end the visit with a door that locks and keys that only you hold.

When a key snaps off in the lock, the temptation is to dig at it with whatever is in the kitchen drawer. We would gently suggest not.


Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.

Step 2 of 5
The priority is a door that closes and locks tonight. We assess the frame, the strike and the lock, and secure whatever was forced so you can stop worrying about the opening.

Step 3 of 5
The job starts with your description, not our assumptions. What you have noticed about the door often points to the cause before we touch it.

Step 4 of 5
Some hardware deserves saving and some does not. We tell you which and why, so you spend on what makes a difference.

Step 5 of 5
The door works, the area is clean and you have keys, notes and a clear idea of what to watch for. That is the standard for every visit.
