"Curbside mailbox lock rusted out and key wouldn't work anymore. Kwikey matched a replacement lock to the USPS specification and installed it right at the mailbox. Even lubricated the hinge while he was there. Great attention to detail."
"Locked my keys inside the trunk of my sedan at the mall. Kwikey got the door open without a mark and popped the trunk release. Back to shopping in no time."
"Lost my only transponder key for my Chevy Equinox. Kwikey came out, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder chip, and I was driving again the same afternoon."
Do you bring hardware with you or do I need to purchase locks? expand_more
Our mobile units are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, deadbolts, and high-security hardware. While we carry components from industry-leading brands for same-day resolution, we can also source specialized hardware to meet your unique architectural or security requirements.
Is it worth repairing an old lock or should I replace it? expand_more
We'll assess your lock and give honest advice. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, replacing with a modern lock is the smarter investment. We don't push replacements if repair makes sense.
What information do you need when I call? expand_more
For the most efficient service, have ready: your location (address or cross streets), type of lockout (home, car, business), vehicle year/make/model if automotive, and any details about your lock type if you know them. This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.
Where should I keep spare keys? expand_more
Never under the doormat, flowerpot, or fake rock—burglars check these first. Give a spare to a trusted neighbor instead. Smart locks eliminate this worry entirely. We can also install a secure key lockbox that requires a code.
Does lock installation require drilling new holes? expand_more
It depends on your door. If replacing an existing lock, usually no new holes are needed. For new installations, we drill precise holes that won't weaken your door. We also check that your door jamb is properly reinforced.
Can I change locks if I'm renting? expand_more
Check your lease first—most landlords allow it if you provide them a copy of the new key. We recommend rekeying rather than replacing so you can give the old keys back when you move. Many landlords appreciate tenants who take security seriously.
