Residential Lockouts

Locked out of your home?  It happens to most of us at some time in our lives.

We get home or to work only to find we have lost, misplaced or simply forgotten our keys.

No reason to panic, contact American Lock & Key, we come to you.

We will unlock the door, and provide you with a new set of keys if needed.

House Re-keying

Re-keying is the process of changing the pins in a lock’s cylinder to work on a different key.

We re-key all the locks and then provide new keys.  Anyone with old keys will not be able to gain access.

Why Re-Key? In most cases of break-ins that do not involve forced entry, keys have been duplicated, lost or stolen without the owner’s knowledge.

In these situations it is strongly recommended that you have your locks re-keyed.  Once someone has access to your keys they can easily have them copied.

Even if you recover the key following a case of burglary, there is still the chance that your security has been compromised.

Re-keying can also be done as a preemptive measure if you suspect that someone has gained access to your keys.

If you believe this person to have malicious intent, changing your locks is often well worth the investment.

There are other times when re-keying is necessary such as when you buy new locks and need them to work on the same key.

New Lock Installations

Maybe re-keying is not enough.  Are your locks old?  Have you updated your decor and the old locks look tired and worn?

We can install new locks and provide you with duplicate keys when needed.
