Baltimore Locksmith FAQ’s

When it comes to getting duplicate keys and a new lock, a person have many questions in mind. Listed below are some frequently asked questions and their answer that will be of your assistance.

What Is Re-Keying?

It is one of the most commonly asked questions. It is a process in which the lock cylinder is pulled out and fitted with new pins to change the key that opens it. Old useless keys can also be rendered as that will save your money and you will save yourself from buying new hardware.

You must also know that all re-keys and new locks come with 2 keys free of charge. If you want more, it can be made on-site by our professionals.

Locks Should Be Changed When Moving To A New House?
If the lock is no longer functional or desirable, you can get the lock changed otherwise it is really not necessary. You can rather opt for re-keying as it is much cheaper than replacing the entire lock. After re-keying is done, the lock will be opened with the new key only and the old ones will be useless. This will give you a much-needed sense of security.

Can All Locks Be Picked?

Seeing the current technologies that are being used in the lock system, it is not possible to pick the lock that easily these days. Many residential and commercial properties make use of high-security locks that are pick-resistant.

Will You Be Able To Add A New Deadbolt On My Door?
To add a new deadbolt to your door, the drill can be used to make a new hole. It is one of the things that we can help you out with and end the work by aligning the bolt with the door frame.

Can I Use The Same Key For All My Locks?

Recently locked car keys in my car and with no spare set available needed a locksmith. Alex came literally within 15 minutes from when I called and got the car unlocked shortly after he arrived. 5 stars for timeliness and excellent service. Will use again if services are needed.

Would highly recommend this business if you are locked out of your car. I left my keys on the seat and was stuck outside of my truck at a gas station. I called locksmith on duty at 1:25am and was quoted $110. I waited about 15-20 minutes for the lock technician to arrive and he had me back into my car and driving away by 2:08am. Both the phone operator and technician were prompt and professional and genuinely very kind people. Very thankful your team was able to help me get home safely!

Locked myself out after after rushing out to go see my Ravens loose! The technician was extremely punctual, knowledgeable and had me back inside in no time. An absolute lifesaver!

The process working with Locksmiths on Duty was seamless. Customer service was impeccable. Above and beyond! I needed 25 year old door hardware replaced and they did it. I’m impressed and will definitely work with them again
