  • When should you call a residential or commercial locksmith?

    Below are a few situations when you should call a residential or commercial locksmith:

    • You've locked yourself out of your property
    • Someone recently broke into your property
    • You want to upgrade your locks
    • You need your locks rekeyed
    • Your lock is sticking or you can't turn the key

  • What are cypher locks?

    Cypher locks, also known as combination locks, are a type of lock that requires a specific sequence of numbers or symbols to unlock. They do not require a physical key, and the code can be changed regularly, making them convenient and eliminating the risk of unauthorized access.

  • What makes Fort Knox safes a reliable choice for securing valuables?

    Fort Knox safes are not just any safes; they are known for their exceptional quality and top-notch security features. Fort Knox safes are constructed with heavy-duty materials, such as thick steel, and are equipped with advanced locking mechanisms, fireproofing, and drill-resistant plates. If you're looking to protect your valuable items, Fort Knox safes are the perfect choice, offering you peace of mind and a secure storage solution.

  • Should I invest in a gun safe?

    Gun safes are essential for responsible gun ownership. They provide a secure storage solution, preventing unauthorized access to firearms and protecting them from theft, fire, or accidents. Gun safes also help ensure compliance with local laws and regulations regarding firearm storage, promoting safety within your home.

  • What is the difference between rekeying a lock and changing a lock?

    Rekeying locks involves changing the internal components of a lock to fit a new key. Simply put, keeping the same lock, but the old key will no longer work. Rekeying locks is often necessary after a security breach or when keys have been lost or stolen. While rekeying locks and changing a lock both ensure the safety of your property, rekeying is way more cost-effective.
