Lockouts, new keys, rekeying and business locks across Plymouth Township. Call and we tell you honestly when we can be there.
Your mailbox key is missing, and the box is still closed. In Plymouth Township, we work on mailboxes that need a replacement key or a different lock.
If you have another key, making a copy may be an option. Without one to copy, we can determine whether a replacement can be made for the existing lock. Changing the lock is another choice if you want the missing key to stop working. For a shared mailbox, check with your property manager or the postal service about who is responsible for it.
Other problems can leave an entrance difficult to use or secure. A broken key may be stuck, or one that once worked may no longer turn. We remove broken pieces, make replacements and assess hardware that is worn or not working properly. If you want to change who has access, rekeying makes the existing hardware work with a different key, so the old copies no longer work. Replacing the hardware gives you a different unit altogether. We also repair or replace hardware that will not latch securely, based on what we find. In Plymouth Township, you can ask us to explain the available choices and what each would change.

A car lockout in Plymouth Township may leave your keys on the seat or out of reach. We work with vehicle lockouts and make replacements when the original is missing. Some replacements need both cutting and programming to work with the vehicle. A remote that unlocks the doors may also need programming. The make, model and year tell us what kind of replacement your car may need.
For your home, rekeying changes which copies work while keeping the existing hardware. It is an option when you want to stop old copies from opening the door and the hardware is in good condition. Replacement changes the hardware itself and may make more sense if it is worn or you want a different style. We look at what is installed and explain which choice fits its condition.
If a business door does not close securely, check whether anything is caught in the doorway rather than forcing it shut. A worn latch or lock may need repair or replacement. We examine the door and its hardware, then explain what we find and the available options. For an entrance used by several employees, choosing a durable replacement suited to that traffic can make daily access more reliable.

When you contact us about a missing mailbox key in Plymouth Township, we ask whether you have a spare and whether the mailbox is on its own or part of a shared bank.
We also ask who manages the mailbox and whether its door is open or closed. Those details tell us what options to consider. If the mailbox is managed by the postal service or a property manager, you may need to contact them about access or replacement.
Before starting, we explain the choices available for your mailbox. If you have a spare, making another key may be an option. Replacing the lock gives you a different set of keys, so the missing key and any other old keys will no longer work. We explain what we plan to do and how many keys you will receive. To finish, we check the keys with you and make sure the door closes and stays secure. You can try the keys yourself and ask about anything that does not feel right.
We check the ignition and the key for wear or other trouble. Avoid forcing it if it resists, since that could leave a broken piece inside. We can assess what is causing the resistance and explain whether a replacement or a repair is an option.
We inspect the hardware and check how the door fits when closed. Avoid forcing the lock when it binds. A repair or replacement may make sense if the problem is in the locking mechanism. If the fit is causing the trouble, we will point out what we found so you can decide what to do next.
We can arrange separate sets for the stockroom and office, so you decide who gets access to each space. Another choice is to use one set for both doors, which is simpler to manage but does not keep those spaces separate. We check the existing hardware to see which options it supports.
We look at the original for wear before making a copy. A badly worn original may produce a copy that is difficult to use, so one in better condition is a better starting point. If you have no usable original, we can inspect the lock and explain the options for making a replacement.
Office visits in West Chester are by appointment only; the work happens at your door or your car.
