What Services Does A Locksmith Provide?

Locksmiths are well-rounded security professionals who can do more than install locks, cut keys and get you into your car or home that you’re locked out of. Here are just a few things that locksmiths can do:

  • Install locks and other door hardware for homes and businesses.  

  • Cut duplicate keys and create keys for locks when keys are lost.

  • Change/rekey locks.

  • Respond to emergency service calls.

  • Design, install and repair electronic access control systems and video surveillance systems.

  • Consult on lock and hardware selection.

  • Install cabinet locks, drawer locks and locker locks.

  • Design complex master key systems for businesses, hospitals, schools, apartment buildings and other institutions.

  • Install and repair frames, doors, panic bars and other related door hardware.

  • Move, install and service safes, including “cracking” safes when a combination is lost or the lock is malfunctioning.

  • Recommend and specify safes appropriate for the contents being stored.

  • Clean and service locks and hardware of all kinds.

  • Provide replacement transponder and alarm fobs for vehicles.
