Emergency locksmith FAQ

What should I do after a break-in?

Make sure everyone is safe and contact the police first. Once they are done, a locksmith can repair or replace damaged locks and re-key so any stolen keys stop working.

Is there an extra charge for nights or weekends?

The old price list states no extra cost for holidays and weekends. Ask the dispatcher to confirm the estimate when you call.

How quickly can someone arrive?

It depends on where you are and how many calls are open. Call to check availability and an estimated arrival time.
