What to have ready
- The property address and which doors are involved
- A short description or clear photo of each lock
- Proof that you live at or own the property
- Your landlord's approval if you rent and want locks changed
Authorization and safety
For any home service that involves opening a lock, changing a lock, or making keys, you will be asked to show that you live at or own the property, usually with a photo ID showing the address, a lease, or a similar document. Work does not go ahead without it.
Good to know
- Not every service is available in every area; we confirm what can be done at your location before any work is booked.
- Some high-security or proprietary locks need parts or keys that only the manufacturer or its dealers can supply.
- Worn or damaged hardware sometimes needs replacing rather than repairing.
Common questions
Which residential service do I need?
If you are locked out, start with House Lockout. If keys are lost or you have just moved in, rekeying is worth considering. If a lock is loose, sticking, or worn out, look at Lock Repair or Lock Replacement. If you are not sure, describe the problem when you get in touch and we will point you to the right option.
Can you work on locks in a rented home?
Yes, with the right permission. Tenants should check their lease first, since many landlords must approve any change or rekey. Getting a tenant back inside with proof of residence is handled differently from changing hardware, which usually needs the owner's approval.
Do you serve my area?
It depends on your location. Share your address or ZIP code when you get in touch and we will confirm whether we can help before anything is booked.
