Questions from St. Louis residents
Can a locksmith make keys for a lock with no key at all?
Usually, yes. For many home locks, a locksmith can decode the cylinder or rekey it to a new key on site, so you do not need the original.
Is my neighborhood in St. Louis covered?
Yes, as long as a pro is free. St. Louis ZIP codes 63101, 63102, 63103, 63104, 63106 and others are in range, and that includes Lafayette Square, Central West End, Tower Grove South and Shaw.
My key will not turn. What now?
Try a graphite lubricant. Do not force it, since a broken key is harder to fix. A key that turns stiffly is often a worn key or a dry cylinder, and a fresh copy cut from the code can solve it.
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.
Not in a rush? Say so. Flexible timing can make it easier to find someone with an opening.
