Homes in Minneapolis: what pros run into
The Chain of Lakes, including Bde Maka Ska and Lake Harriet, anchors the southwest part of the city. Ice dams are a common winter problem on older homes with thin attic insulation.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan made Minneapolis one of the first big U.S. cities to allow up to three units on lots once zoned for single-family homes. Doors here range from older wood doors with mortise locks to newer steel doors with deadbolts.
Doors swell and shrink with the seasons, which can make deadbolts hard to throw in winter. Minnesota's Cold Weather Rule limits utility shutoffs for heat from October through April for households that set up a payment plan.

Questions from Minneapolis residents
What should I do after a break-in?
Call the police first. Once it is safe, a locksmith can repair damaged doors or frames and rekey or replace locks.
Is my neighborhood in Minneapolis covered?
Most likely. We cover Kingfield, Seward, Nokomis and Linden Hills and other parts of Minneapolis, across 55401, 55402, 55403, 55404, 55405 and others. If no one is available, you will hear that from us up front.
Is a smart lock as secure as a deadbolt?
It depends on the model. Look for a solid deadbolt underneath and ask the locksmith about how the keypad and app are protected.
Can a locksmith make a key without the original?
Often, yes, especially for common home locks. Car keys depend on the vehicle. For a home lock, the locksmith can often decode or impression the lock on site and cut a working key.
You are free to talk with more than one company before you decide.
