Locksmith and Lock Repair FAQs
Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving house?
Rekeying lets a locksmith change the keys that work your existing locks, which can be more cost
effective than replacing hardware. Many people choose to rekey after a move so older keys held by
previous owners, tenants or trades no longer work. A locksmith can advise whether rekeying is an
option for your locks or whether replacement is a better choice.
Can a locksmith help if my key broke in the lock?
Yes, locksmiths regularly deal with broken keys and jammed locks. They can usually remove the broken
piece, check the cylinder for damage and either repair or replace parts so the lock works again. In
some cases new keys or a new lock may be needed if the damage is significant.
Do locksmiths work on window locks as well as doors?
Many locksmiths service both door and window locks, including sliding doors, patio bolts and some
security window hardware. When you post your job, list the types of locks that need attention so
locksmiths know what to expect and can confirm whether they handle those products.
Are all locksmiths available for emergency work?
Some locksmiths focus on general daytime work, while others offer a twenty four hour emergency
service. If you are locked out or need urgent help, mention that it is an emergency when you post
your job so available locksmiths can respond quickly.
