Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to an emergency lockout in Asheville?
We typically reach most Asheville locations within 20-30 minutes during normal conditions. Response times may vary slightly based on your specific location, current traffic conditions, and weather situations. Emergency calls are always prioritized, and we’ll give you an accurate ETA when you call.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes, we can create new car keys even if you’ve lost all original keys. This process varies by vehicle make, model, and year. For modern vehicles with transponder systems, we have the specialized equipment to cut and program new keys. This service can be performed at your location and typically costs significantly less than dealership prices.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Yes, rekeying is generally more economical than complete lock replacement. Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of a lock so old keys no longer work, while a new key operates the lock. This service is ideal when you want to maintain your existing hardware but need to update security, such as after moving into a new home or when keys have been lost or compromised.
Do you offer warranties on your locksmith work?
Absolutely. We stand behind our workmanship with a 90-day warranty on all labor. Additionally, all locks and hardware we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty, which we’ll fully explain at the time of service. If you experience any issues with our work, we’ll return to make it right at no additional cost.
What identification do you require for lockout services?
For security purposes, we require verification that you’re authorized to access the property or vehicle. For home lockouts, we’ll ask for identification showing your address matches the lockout location, or other proof of residency like a utility bill. For businesses, we require authorization from listed key holders. For vehicles, we’ll need your ID and vehicle registration or proof of ownership.
