How we get you back in
We start with non-destructive methods such as picking or bypass tools, which leave the lock usable. If the lock is broken or high-security, we may need to drill it; we explain that and agree the cost before we do.
After you are inside
If your keys were lost or stolen, consider rekeying while the technician is there, so whoever has the old keys can't use them. We can also cut spares so it doesn't happen again.
Proof of residence
We ask for ID and something linking you to the address, such as a lease or utility bill. If those are inside, we check them once the door is open.
Frequently asked questions
Can you open an apartment door in a managed building?
Yes, for your own unit. Some buildings require the management office to be told first; we can work with them.
Do you open sliding doors and windows?
We can open many window and sliding door locks. Describe them when you call.
