"Ignition cylinder replacement on my older Chevy Silverado. Tech matched the new cylinder to my existing key so I don't have to carry two keys. Attention to detail like this is why I recommend Kwikey!"

"Had Kwikey change all the locks at our dental office after a staff member left on bad terms. They rekeyed seven doors and the supply closet in a single afternoon. Every lock keyed to the new master key system. Zero disruption to our patients."

"Snapped my front door key right off in the lock at 7am before work. Kwikey extracted the broken piece without any damage to the lock cylinder and cut me a new key on the spot. Saved me from replacing the entire lock."
