Do not force the key with pliers, as this almost always shears the key off inside the cylinder. A stuck key is usually caused by worn internal pins, loose cylinder set screws, or dry tumblers. Spray a small amount of dry Teflon or graphite lubricant and call our technician to safely extract the key and service the cylinder.

Yes. When a key shears off inside a lock cylinder, attempting to pry it out with paperclips or tweezers often pushes the fragment deeper or damages internal wafers. Our mobile vans carry precision spiral and hooked key extractors that safely remove broken brass pieces in minutes, allowing us to cut a replacement key on the spot.

For your safety and legal compliance, our locksmiths require proof of authorization before unlocking any property or vehicle. We ask for a government-issued photo ID along with proof of occupancy or ownership (such as a utility bill, vehicle registration, lease agreement, or matching address on your driver's license).

Our average emergency mobile dispatch window is between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on your exact location and local traffic conditions. When you call 844-442-1744, our field coordinators pinpoint the nearest mobile technician in your area and dispatch them immediately to your address.

Locks can only share a key if they use the same internal keyway profile. For example, Kwikset, Weiser, and Baldwin (some models) share a KW1 keyway, while Schlage uses an SC1 keyway. If your home has mismatched keyways, our technician can replace the interior cylinders so all locks match one uniform keyway.

Yes. We install, align, and program all major electronic keypads and smart deadbolts (including Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo, and August Smart Locks). We ensure the door latch and strike pocket are perfectly chiseled so the motorized bolt extends smoothly without jamming.
