".He broke up the original lock and replaced it with the new one. I recently called him again when I couldn't get the lock open. He came back as soon as he could and lubricated the set to make it easier for me to open. Kevin is reliable, punctual and knowledgeable of his work. He's the only locksmith I would call, if needed. "
"Went smoothly. He gave me info on the lock that was there and the lock he was installing. Told me I would be able to easily make additional keys at hardware stores for the lock"
"Lior was able to come with an hour of my call on a Saturday evening. He understood my directions very well and re-keyed 6 locks on 4 doors and now they function very smoothly. He made the exact number of key copies that we need and was incredibly quick with his service. Price was fair when compared to his competitors. Would definitely hire him again. This is a relief because our long time locksmith retired a couple years ago and we hadn’t found anyone we were as happy with, until now!"

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key:
They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.
They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.
They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key.
If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position.
But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.
The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.
First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.
