No job outside reach.
From a locked bedroom door to a 12-unit eviction rekey before noon — our mobile techs carry the tools and certifications for every scenario.
Residential Lockout
Locked out of your house or apartment. We pick or bypass without damage to your door or lock cylinder.
Car & Auto Lockout
Keys locked in the vehicle. We use professional slim-jim and air-wedge tools — no coat hangers, no scratches.
Commercial Rekeying
Employee turnover, eviction, or security audit. We rekey Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, and master key systems.
Broken Key Extraction
Fragment snapped inside the cylinder. We extract without destroying the lock, then cut a new key on-site.
Emergency Board-Up
Forced entry, vandalism, or break-in. We secure the opening with plywood and install a temporary lockset overnight.
Key Replacement & Duplication
Lost your only copy. We cut house keys, high-security keys, and restricted keyway duplicates from our mobile shop.
