Common Reasons Queens Homeowners Call
You just moved in
You have no idea how many copies of that key exist. A rekey takes minutes and resets everyone's access to zero.
Key snapped in the lock
We extract the broken piece, check the cylinder for damage, and cut you a fresh key on the spot.
The lock feels loose or sticky
That is a cylinder or strike issue on its way to failing. Cheaper to fix now than at 3am in the rain.
Tenant or roommate moved out
Rekey or master-key the unit so old keys stop working without replacing every piece of hardware.

Residential FAQs
Will you damage my door to get in?
Almost never. We pick, bypass or shim first. Drilling is a last resort on high-security cylinders, and we tell you before we do it.
What proves I live there?
ID matching the address, a lease, a utility bill or mail. It protects you as much as it protects us.
Rekey or replace?
If the hardware is solid, rekeying is cheaper and just as secure. If it is worn, loose or low grade, replacing is the better spend.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes — we install, align the strike properly, and set up codes so the lock actually works rather than binding every winter.
