Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace a modern car key with a chip or a push-to-start fob?
Absolutely. Unlike many locksmiths who only handle traditional metal keys, we specialize in automotive technology. We can cut and program transponder keys, high-security sidewinder keys, and smart fobs for almost all vehicle makes and models right on-site. There is no need to tow your car to a dealership.
Will my door or lock be damaged during a lockout service?
Our technicians are highly trained professionals who prioritize non-destructive entry. Using specialized tools and techniques like professional lock picking or bypass methods, we can typically open your home, office, or vehicle without causing any damage to the existing hardware or door frame.
What is the difference between rekeying and changing my locks?
Rekeying involves adjusting the internal pins of your existing lock so that it works with a new key and the old key no longer functions. This is a cost-effective way to secure a new home. Changing a lock involves replacing the entire hardware. We recommend a full replacement if your current locks are damaged, outdated, or if you want to upgrade to high-security or smart-lock systems.
Do you provide security solutions for local businesses?
Absolutely. We respond to residential and commercial lockouts around the clock. Call us any time and we will get someone out to you quicaYes, we offer comprehensive commercial locksmith services tailored to Aurora business owners. This includes the installation of master key systems, panic bar/exit devices for fire code compliance, electronic access control (keypads/card readers), and heavy-duty deadbolt installations to protect your inventory and employees.
How much does a service call cost, and do you offer any discounts?
Transparency is a core value for us. We charge a competitive service call fee to dispatch a technician to your location for a professional assessment. We also provide up-front estimates before any work begins so there are no surprises. Be sure to ask about our current promotions, such as our 10% discount for online bookings.
