Frequently asked questions
How soon can you get to me?
It depends on where you are, the time of day and how many calls are ahead of yours. When you call, we give you a realistic arrival estimate rather than a promise we can't keep.
Do you charge more at night?
Our posted policy is no extra charge for nights, weekends or holidays. You'll get a quote before any work begins.
What should I do after a break-in?
Call the police first and don't touch the damaged lock until they have seen it. Then call us to repair or replace the lock and secure the door.
Can you rekey my locks during an emergency visit?
Yes. If keys were lost or stolen, we can rekey or replace the locks while we are there, so the missing keys stop working.
