The calls change with the calendar, but the visit doesn't: ID first, a free estimate ahead of the work, and the lock or key tested before the technician leaves.
Lockouts and lost car keys from visitors.
Business rekeys as seasonal staff move on.
Stiff locks and forgotten codes after months away.
Car lockouts in beach lots and parking decks, keys lost on the sand or the course, fobs that went swimming, rental keypads that won't take a code. Visitors get the same service as residents; the difference is that their paperwork usually lives on a phone, and their dealer is a long drive away. Summer is also when hotels and rental offices call most, as doors and locks take the heaviest use of the year.
As the busy season ends, hotels, shops and restaurants see staff move on, and not every key comes back. Rekeying and master key changes are the usual answer. At the same time, second-home owners start coming back to houses where locks have stiffened and keypad batteries have run down after months of salt air and heat.
Golfers and longer-stay visitors keep the courses and condos busy through the cooler months. Clubhouse doors, cart barns and storage rooms need their locks looked after, and golf-trip car keys still go missing. Winter is also a good time for owners to plan rekeys and hardware changes before the next rush, when a door that sticks now becomes a door that won't open in July.
Snowbirds leaving for the summer want the house secure while it's empty: deadbolts that throw fully, a rekey if keys were handed out over the winter, and codes set for the house watcher. Getting it done before leaving is easier than arranging it from several states away. A quick walk around the house with the technician catches the side door or the storage closet that's easy to forget.
Replacement car keys and fobs, keys snapped off in a door or an ignition, deadbolts installed or swapped, locks that stick, and doors that won't latch. A home or business that can't be secured is always handled first, whatever the season, and whoever calls hears a realistic window rather than a promise. Storage units, sheds and keyed padlocks come up often too, especially when a key has gone missing over a long season away.
The technician checks ID and your link to the home, car or business, walks you through what's wrong, and gives you a free estimate ahead of any work. Nothing starts until you agree. When the work is done, you see it working, and you know how many keys or codes exist. If something else turns out to need attention along the way, you hear about it and decide before it's done.
Open a door or car for anyone who can't show it's theirs, or describe how locks are defeated. The rule that slows down a stranger at your door is the same one that asks you for ID, and it's the reason it's never skipped.
Yes: rekeying, master key plans, heavy-duty deadbolts and closers for commercial doors.
Yes. Deadbolts checked or replaced, a rekey if needed, and codes set for whoever watches the house.
Yes. Bring the ID and paperwork you travel with; for a rental car, the agreement.
Yes, and it's the simplest way to retire keys that went home with seasonal staff.
Because the same check protects your door from anyone else who asks.
Usually not. Most makes are handled on site, and the handful that need the dealer come up on the call.
Yes, including keyed padlocks and storage doors when the key went missing over the season.
Yes, and it comes before the work begins.
