Frequently asked questions
Can you rekey the locks after the lockout?
Yes. If keys were lost the safe move is to rekey the affected doors so the missing keys stop working.
Do you need proof I own the business?
We need to see that you are entitled to enter: a business licence, lease, or a call from the property manager. It protects your premises from the wrong person.
Will you drill the lock?
Only if picking and bypass fail. On commercial cylinders drilling is a last step, and we replace the cylinder in the same visit.
