Smart lock installation

Smart locks are becoming all the rage. Regardless of the age of your house or a specific lock, or wherever you live, a smart lock is something that can not only make things easier for you but also help improve security. In case you do not know, a smart lock is a device that connects to your home or office network allowing you certain functions to your lock from anywhere you have internet access. This means you can ensure you never forget to set the lock, allows you to open the lock before you have your hands full, and ensures you do not get stuck at the door fumbling for the right key or to get it into the lock.

Rekeying Locks on Doors or House Doors Rekey

When you have a concern about the security of your locks, and that you might be facing a house lockout, one of the first steps to consider is rekeying the existing lock. This is especially effective if you have concerns about lost, stolen, or misplaced keys. Simply rekeying lock avoids you having to replace the entire locking mechanism, and potentially damaging the door in the process, but ensures people entering need a new key to gain access to your house or other property.

While there are some inexpensive DIY “rekeying” locks available for the general consumer at local hardware stores, these can also increase the risk of someone else attempting to rekey lock to gain access to your home. By working with our team of mobile locksmiths trained not only in the mechanics of locks bust but also the concerns of actual security, you know your lock will not be destroyed in the process, and you also have a more secure lock than if you tried a “DIY” option. You also know there are no copy keys for your lock floating around, rendering your lock effectively useless.

Broken key extraction

It happens to the best of locks: someone puts the key in, tries to give it a turn and snap, the key breaks. Unfortunately once a key breaks in the lock, extracting it is not simply grabbing a pair of pliers and pulling it out.

When a key breaks in the lock there is often damage internal to the lock as well, especially if a well-meaning friend tried to pull the broken piece out. This means that in addition to extracting the broken key, you also need to fix whatever damage has occurred to the lock so you can get back to accessing your space.

Red Rocks Locksmith is trained in handling these situations, both to ensure the rest of the key is extracted and any internal damage is corrected to avoid further lockout issues. We also take the time to address the style and security of the current lock to ensure it still meets the current need, oftentimes reducing the cost of security upgrades or the need for lockout service down the road by asking the right questions now.

Change out mailboxes

Your mail is of utmost importance, especially if you are receiving something beyond the typical ads. Unfortunately mailbox keys can be flimsy, and the locks are small and often delicate. This can lead to snapped keys, frozen locks and more which could mean you need a lot of maintenance, from simply repairing frozen or sticky lock to a change out of your mailbox.

Red Rocks Locksmith has the experience and training needed to know how to maintain and replace these delicate security measures Further, with our security protocols in place, you never need to worry about duplicate keys floating around and an unauthorized person accessing your mail in the future.

Hardware for Doors

There is a lot of hardware that goes into making a door work well. Most people do not realize that keeping a lock functioning correctly means also keeping the hardware for the door well maintained as well. Some of this hardware includes:

• Hinges
• Door locks and deadbolts
• Door handles and locks
• Lock tumblers
• Knobs and levers
• Crashbars and exit devices
• Knockers
• Latch plates
• Pulls
• Stops
• Spring or hydraulic closers
• And more

Our technicians are also experts in maintaining the entire door mechanism and all of the hardware that goes with it. You do not have to worry about finding a “handyman” to work on the parts of the door that are not specifically the lock.

Unlocking or repairing different types of safes
