When things get done right the first time, you save money.

Some keys are marked as one of the following:

  • “Do Not Duplicate”
  • “Do Not Copy”
  • “Unlawful To Copy”

If you need a copy of a key with one of these labels, we can help.

You will need to provide a letter of authorization from the owner of the key with a request to duplicate. This letter must be:

  • On company letterhead
  • Identify the key to be copied
  • The number of keys needed
  • The name and contact information of the person who will pick up the keys (This person will also need to fill out a “Request for Restricted Keys” form).

Please note that we reserve the right to refuse to copy keys.

Absolutely not!

At Pros On Call, our mobile units have the advanced equipment necessary to provide you with new laser cut keys and we come to you. We can also replace transponder keys and car fobs on the spot.

Simply put, a fresh lock installation involves installing a new lock where none previously existed. This is a more involved process and involves cutting and drilling new holes in doors and walls.

A general lock installation simply means that we install new lock hardware in the space where older locks were already in place.

A lock change is often implemented when current locks are severely damaged or lock upgrades are requested. In this process, our technicians will install a brand new lock and issue a new set of keys.

Lock rekeys are a much quicker process and only involve switching the existing lock’s internal mechanism so that old keys will no longer work. Then, new keys are issued that will work with your original locks. This is a great option when you move into a new home.

The strongest lock on the market today is a high-security grade 1 lock. They come in various styles including mortise and are typically used for commercial properties. Ask our lock experts to help you find the right lock to meet your needs.

For assistance with additional questions not covered in our locksmith FAQ, contact us 24-hours a day. We stand ready to serve your emergency and planned security needs with professional, friendly, experienced and knowledgeable locksmiths.
