"College apartment near UD needed better security. Kwikey installed a Grade 1 deadbolt on the front door. Tech explained the difference between lock grades and why it matters. Educational and professional!"
"My house key broke inside the deadbolt and I couldn't get the broken piece out. The tech used a specialized extractor tool and had it out in under five minutes. He even filed down my spare key so it wouldn't happen again."
"Warehouse manager needed all exterior padlocks and door hardware replaced after a key went missing. Kwikey sourced high-security padlocks and lever handles, swapped everything in one visit, and delivered labeled key sets for each access point. Very organized process."
What should I do while waiting for the locksmith? expand_more
Prioritize your safety by staying in a well-lit area or nearby open business. Please avoid attempting forced entry or DIY bypass techniques, as these often lead to structural hardware damage that can complicate the resolution and lead to unnecessary hardware replacement. Have proof of property ownership ready to present to our technician upon arrival. We will maintain communication as our mobile lab transit to your location.
Can you get me in through a window instead of the door? expand_more
We prefer to enter through your locked door using professional tools—it's safer and doesn't risk window damage. However, if you have an unlocked window, we can advise you. Our goal is getting you in without any damage.
There's a child or pet locked in my car. What do I do? expand_more
If a child or pet is locked in a vehicle, call us immediately. We treat these situations as our absolute top priority. We will drop everything to dispatch the nearest available technician to your location instantly. While you wait, keep the child or pet as calm as possible and stay in direct communication with our dispatch team.
How long will the locksmith service take? expand_more
The duration of our locksmith services varies based on the complexity of the hardware. Most emergency vehicle and home lockouts are resolved professionally in a single visit. Technical rekeying is a relatively quick process per cylinder, while complex automotive programming or high-security hardware installation may require additional time. We provide an honest duration estimate during our initial diagnostic assessment.
Do I need to prove I own the property during a lockout? expand_more
Yes, for your protection and ours. We require valid ID matching the address, registration for vehicles, or other proof of residency. This protects you from unauthorized entry. If you're a renter, a lease or utility bill works too.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work? expand_more
We provide a 90-day service commitment on all workmanship and hardware installations. If you encounter any operational issues during this period, we will return to your location for a diagnostic assessment and resolution as part of our service pledge. Your security and peace of mind are our primary operational priorities.
