Frequently Asked Questions in North Carolina
Everything you need to know about our 24/7 emergency locksmith services, lockout response times, non-destructive entry, and lock rekeying.
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.
No. Our professional locksmiths practice non-destructive entry methods. Using specialized lock picks, decoding instruments, air wedges, and bypass tools, we open over 98% of standard residential, commercial, and automotive locks with zero damage to the lock mechanism, weather stripping, door frame, or vehicle paint.
A panic exit bar (or crash bar) is a spring-loaded door latch mechanism required by OSHA and local fire codes on commercial emergency exit doors. It allows occupants to push and exit freely in an emergency while preventing unauthorized exterior entry. We repair dogging mechanisms, vertical rod latches, and install new exit devices.
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).
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.
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! As long as your door locks use the same keyway brand (such as all Kwikset keyways or all Schlage keyways), our technician can re-pin all your exterior deadbolts, knob locks, and garage entry doors to operate seamlessly with a single convenient master key.
