Summary:

Many people underestimate the range of services offered by locksmiths. In this blog post, we'll shed light on the lesser-known capabilities of locksmiths, from rekeying locks to car key replacements, debunking common misconceptions and revealing the cost-effective solutions locksmiths provide.

Introduction:

Have you ever found yourself locked out of your house, desperately trying to figure out a solution? Or perhaps you've faced the frustration of losing your car keys and assuming a costly trip to the dealership was your only option. I know I have. Before working at Locks and Unlocks, I, like many others, had misconceptions about the services locksmiths provide. But little did I know, locksmiths offer a wide array of solutions beyond traditional lock and key work. Let's dive into some of the surprising services locksmiths can offer, debunking myths and revealing the invaluable assistance they provide.

1. Rekeying Locks:

   Rekeying locks is a cost-effective solution that many homeowners may not be aware of. Instead of replacing the entire lock, locksmiths can adjust the lock mechanism to fit a new key, rendering old keys useless. This is particularly handy for new homeowners or landlords who want to ensure the security of their property without the expense of replacing all the locks.

2. Car Key Replacement:

   Contrary to popular belief, you don't always have to rely on the dealership for car key replacements. Locksmiths like us at Locks and Unlocks offer convenient and cost-effective car key replacement services. Whether you've lost your keys, need a spare, or require key fob programming, we've got you covered. And with our mobile service, we can come to you, saving you time and hassle.

3. Master Key Systems:

   Master key systems are a game-changer for businesses and residential properties alike. With a master key system, you can have multiple keys that access different areas, all while maintaining security and control. This is perfect for landlords, property managers, and businesses looking to streamline access control.

4. Safe Services:

   Safeguarding valuables and documents is a top priority for many individuals and businesses. That's where locksmiths come in. We offer a range of safe-related services, including installation, repair, and combination changes. Whether you need a new safe for your home or want to upgrade the security of your business, we have the expertise to assist you.

5. Access Control Solutions:

   Access control systems are becoming increasingly popular for both residential and commercial properties. From keyless entry systems to electronic locks and smart home integration, locksmiths can provide advanced solutions to enhance security and convenience.

6. Commercial Door Hardware Services:

   Beyond traditional lock and key services, locksmiths are equipped to handle a wide range of commercial door hardware needs. From panic bars and push paddles to Adams Rite locks and door closers, we specialize in ensuring the functionality and security of your commercial doors. Our services also include the installation and servicing of electric strikes, handicap buttons, continuous hinges, door sweeps, and more. Whether you're looking to upgrade your commercial property's security or need routine maintenance, our team is here to help.

7. Garage Door Remote and Keypad Programming:

   In addition to traditional locksmith services, we specialize in programming garage door remotes and keypads. Say goodbye to struggling with complex instructions and let our experts handle the setup for you. Moreover, if you've forgotten the keypad code for your car door, we've got you covered. Our skilled technicians can assist in retrieving or resetting the code, ensuring seamless access to your vehicle.

8. Emergency Lockout Assistance:

   Perhaps one of the most underrated services locksmiths offer is emergency lockout assistance. Whether you're locked out of your home, car, or office, locksmiths are available 24/7 to help you regain access quickly and efficiently. No more waiting around for hours or breaking windows in desperation!

Conclusion:

It's clear that locksmiths offer far more than just lock and key services. From rekeying locks to advanced access control solutions and commercial door hardware services, locksmiths play a vital role in keeping our homes, businesses, and valuables safe and secure. So the next time you find yourself in need of lock-related assistance, remember that locksmiths like us are here to help.
