Key Snapped Right in the Lock

That awful crunch when the key breaks off inside? Now you're locked out AND have a broken piece stuck in there. We extract it, cut a fresh key on-site, and check if the lock itself needs replacing.

Lock Just Won't Budge

You're turning the key but nothing's happening—frozen in winter, rusted from humidity, or just worn out. We'll diagnose exactly what's wrong and fix it properly, not just force it open.

Smart Lock or Keypad Stopped Responding

Battery dead, code rejected, or the app just won't connect—smart locks fail at the worst times. We can bypass the electronic lock to get you in, then troubleshoot or replace the unit entirely.
