When calling an automotive locksmith, be sure to not fall for bait and switch tactics, which unfortunately have become all too common in the locksmith industry. Be sure that you are quoted either a flat rate cost or a range. If you are quoted low minimum prices, such as $15 for a technician to come to you, and then a minimum $90 for a replacement key (or $35+ for car unlock)- then you should probably look elsewhere. Companies that quote minimums are typically national call centers who employ shady subcontractors who will overcharge you by a lot. A reputable, honest locksmith company will know what the job entails and will be able to tell you what the cost will be, over the phone.

Why You Should Call A Mobile Automotive Locksmith Instead Of The Dealership
The reasons why calling a locksmith is a much smarter decision vs calling the dealership are cost and convenience. The dealer will require that you have your vehicle towed to them, have you waiting usually for most of the day, and they will charge you expensive rates for what is essentially the same service provided by a car locksmith. A mobile locksmith will come to you, get the job done quickly and at a fair price.

Lock Cylinder Keying
Nearly all locks can be rekeyed to a new key, to match the keys of another lock, or so multiple keys will work (master keyed). A rekey of a lock changes the internals so that all old keys will no longer work, while a new set of keys will work. Locks on a property can be keyed so one key will operate a series or all locks (keying alike). In addition, a master key system can be designed in which a master key operates all locks on a property, and sub master keys can only operate a desired lock or several locks. Master keying is common in multi-family housing.
Repairs
Locks not working properly can be the result of many different factors that can affect your hardware. The quality or age of your lock can play a part in it not working right. Improper install or misalignment of the frame strike plates can also have a role in a lock breaking. So when we repair a lock, we also look to resolve any other issues with the door and frame that can cause a lock to fail. Quality locks and also quality installation is important in a lock operating well and lasting a long time. We stock quality parts and replacement hardware in each of our service vans.
