Locksmith Tips In Emergency Situations
During an emergency lockout situation, it’s crucial to avoid attempting to pick the lock with traditional tools, as these tools could potentially damage the delicate cylinder mechanism housed within the lock. This could result in additional complications and increased repair costs.
For a smoother and more efficient resolution to lockout scenarios, it’s highly recommended to opt for professional locksmith services. Our team of experienced locksmiths is well-equipped to handle emergency situations promptly and effectively. When you choose to work with us during such critical moments, you can rest assured that we prioritize swift responses, ensuring that your lockout issues are addressed without any unnecessary delays or disruptions.
Expert Advice For Lock Changes Vs. Lock Rekeys
LOCKS CHANGED
REKEY LOCKS
A lock should be changed following any situation that involved a robbery or invasion where the lock has suffered damage and is beyond repair. Or, maybe the lock could be repaired, but you may want to consider changing your locks to upgrade to a stronger type of lock to prevent future robberies.
Any time that you move into a new home or apartment, you should have your locks rekeyed.
Additional situations that should result in a lock rekey include instances where your keys were stolen or a roommate moved out and you suspect they may still have a copy of the key.
The Difference Between Lock Change and Rekey
Both services are helpful and can strengthen security; however, each service method involves different procedures.
When a lock is changed, all of the hardware is replaced so that the old key can’t be used. During rekey tasks, a lock isn’t replaced; instead, the components within the lock are modified so that old keys can’t rotate the locking cylinder and new keys are issued for the same, existing lock.
Tips For Choosing A Locksmith
When picking a locksmith, experience matters because proper skills can impact how efficiently crucial service tasks are handled. The tools that are used during a project are important as well; if a locksmith uses the latest tools for every project, reliability won’t suffer.
It is also very important to make sure that your technician is licensed, bonded, and insured so that you are fully protected.
Not to worry, at Pros On Call we are fully licensed and all of our technicians have 5+ years of experience. Plus, our mobile units are fully stocked.
How To Choose The Right Lock For Your Home
Because all locks are designed differently, a typical design can influence the level of security.
In residential areas, mortise locks and other general locks can be used.
However, if increased security is needed in order to protect highly valuable items, keyless hardware or another advanced security solutions can provide the benefits.
Choosing the right lock depends on many different factors, including your budget. Just ask our experts for help and you will get honest, reliable advice every time.
Business Security Tips
When picking locks for business locations, always consider speed, as certain locks can decrease productivity during important projects. Keyless locks benefit employees and managers because the technology gives everyone access without using a key.
You may also want to consider door closers and panic bars to ensure that your business property is up to code.
Here are a few things to consider when picking the right commercial lock system:
- How large is my property?
- How many employees need access?
- Do I need to restrict access to certain areas?
- Is there a high turnover rate?
- Are there contract workers such as cleaning and maintenance crews?
You can schedule a consultation and security audit with our commercial locksmith experts at any time for more information.
