Although, this may seem like a redundant question, a lockout is when you walk out of your house, business, and/or car and lock the doors, then realize you have forgotten the keys! A pretty lousy feeling if helpless. What happens next, though, is what makes the difference. Some people will try to channel their inner MacGyver and try creative ways to get into their property, but all that will do is waste time and money due to damages caused by not having the correct tools. In these situations, calling a 24 7 locksmith is your safest bet.

By definition, a Locksmith is a person who makes and repairs locks. But with the changing times and technologies, a true Locksmith, including a commercial locksmith, is a person who handles all aspects of personal and professional security. Training and keeps up with all the latest technologies available to stay on the cutting edge of security services.

Keys marked "Do Not Duplicate," " Do Not Copy," or "Unlawful to Copy" may 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. The person picking up the keys will be required to fill out a "Request for Restricted Keys" form. As a commercial locksmith, we reserve the right to refuse to duplicate any key marked "Do Not Duplicate."

The first thing you must remember is that you're not and should not be dependent on the dealership. As a 24 7 locksmith, Around the Clock Locksmith can generate keys and program them on-site with your vehicle.

Our staff is trained with the latest updates and equipment to be able to generate a key from scratch on-site, from a simple mechanical key to the latest high-security transponder "computer chip" prox keys on-site.

No. While the "Do Not Duplicate" marking on a key is usually respected by a reputable locksmith company, many discount stores do not. To effectively prevent unauthorized key duplication, a restricted key lock should be used.

No, it is illegal in most states to sell or possess burglary or entry tools. Locksmiths at Around the Clock Locksmith, or any trusted commercial locksmith, will not sell entry tools to anyone.

Products typically sold in home stores are residential quality at best; at worst, the shelves are stacked with low-end products meant to increase profits for the manufacturer and the retailer. High-quality goods offered by a professional 24 7 locksmith offer characteristics such as pick and drill resistance, access control options, and protection against the unauthorized duplication of keys. The question you have to ask is what is your time really worth?

It's your stuff! When was the last time the locks were changed? If you don't know the answer, then you and your company are potentially at risk. Instead of hiring a professional locksmith company like Around the Clock Locksmith, some property management companies, in an effort to save money, simply swap the locks from one unit to another and have a brand-new set of keys made. A previous tenant with some time to kill could simply try his key in each door in the complex until he finds one that works.
