What should I do if my key breaks inside the lock?
Stop trying to turn it—the broken metal can damage your cylinder. Call us instead. Our techs use specialized extraction tools to remove the key safely and can cut or program a new one on-site while repairing the lock if needed.

Absolutely. We offer mobile automotive locksmith service, meaning we come to your car—no towing required. We can replace or program key fobs, transponder keys, and remotes for most makes and models right at the curb.
Is it better to rekey or change my locks after moving into a new Olde Kensington home?
If the locks are in good condition, rekeying is the cost-effective way to ensure old keys stop working. We’ll inspect them first, if they’re worn or outdated, we’ll recommend replacement for added security.
