I’m Steve, my partner Mr. Clarkson and I are from KCMO both twenty three years of age. Both with the same common goal since kids which is to provide for our family. Specialists in hauling, junk removal and furniture moving. Side jobs as in mowing, mobile detailing, window tint and a few emergency mobile services. What we bring to the table is your choice, we’re equipped young men who are always looking to improve day in and out. We established On Call Haul this year, along with other ventures. Hard work and consistency is what we consist of and it’s always a customer need before any proceeds. God Bless.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

You may be able to get a broken key out of a lock by yourself, depending on the situation. If a portion of the key is still protruding from your lock, try lubricating the keyway and using pliers or even a bobby pin to pull the key out of the hole. If you have jigsaw blades handy, you can also try using those to grab onto the stuck key and pull it out. 

But, if neither option works or you can’t reach the key, your only option is to call a locksmith for help. 

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.
