Q. Why does lock not work on one door?
A. When your locks are not operating at peak performance, there can be a few contributing factors. For instance, wood doors and/or frames will expand and contract accordingly during extreme weather conditions such as intense heat or frigid cold temperatures. This causes the lock to not fit efficiently. In the event your locking mechanisms are not operating as they should, call First Lock & Security Technologies for assistance.
Q. What if you lose your house keys?
A. In the event your keys are lost or stolen, you do not necessarily have to go to such extremes as to have your locks changed, however, it is in your better interest you get the locks rekeyed. In any case, you should definitely decide whether you should re-key or change the lock set.
Q. What exactly is lock bumping?
A. Lock picking is a method used by criminals to break into your home without forced entry. A faux key is struck with such force that the lock is then unlocked as the shaved down key is slid into the chamber. Fortunately, there are now locks on the market that are bump-proof.
Q. Why hire a professional locksmith company as opposed to a handyman?
A. Professionals have the expertise from training, experience, and someone capable of problem solving in all manner of the locksmith industry. With their professional specialties, they can conduct locksmith duties safely, without inflicting damage and offer you maximum security. Unfortunately, handymen and other nonprofessionals do not possess the knowledge or right tools to get the job done.
