San Antonio Locksmiths – FAQ

 

Hardware stores are not professional locksmiths, therefore their products are not guaranteed as ours are. Our machines are routinely calibrated to ensure accurate reproduction of usable keys.

Keys marked “Do Not Duplicate,” ” Do Not Copy,” or “Unlawful to Copy” may still be duplicated only if a letter of authorization from the owner or supervisor is presented with the request for duplication. The letter should be on company letterhead and identify the key to be made, the number of keys, the person picking up the keys, and the name and number of the person writing the letter.

Finally, the person picking up the keys will be required to fill out a “Request for Restricted Keys” form. We reserve the right to refuse to duplication request.

All keys are labeled with a number code and if you are aware of your particular number you can simply ask the locksmith to recreate your key by the number, as opposed to coming out and examining the lock in person. This option can save you time and money.

We recommend when you get a new lock that you record the numbers printed on the keys in case of an emergency.

A rekey is often times a necessary step upon possession of a new home or business. This is a simple and quick procedure in which the inner workings of the lock are changed and new keys are issued.

In other cases, if there is any damage to the lock you may require changing the entire mechanism. This is a more involved process, but still a service that we are proud to provide. If you are not sure if you need a rekey or a full lock change, just ask and we will help you determine which option is best for you.
