FAQs
I have lost my car keys, is the dealership the only place I can get a key?
The first thing you must remember is that your not and should not be dependent on the dealership. Around The Clock Locksmith can generate keys and program them on site with your vehicle. Our prices will beat the pants off the dealership and we carry a wide verity of keys and remote in stock for most foreign and domestic vehicles. Our staff is trained with the latest updates and equipment to be able to generate a key from scratch on site from a simple mechanical key to the latest high security transponder "computer chip" prox keys on site.
Is the "Do Not Duplicate" marking on a key enough for controlling key duplication?
No. While the "Do Not Duplicate" marking on a key is usually respected, many discount stores do not. To effectively prevent unauthorized key duplication, a restricted key lock should be used.
Is there such a thing as a key that can open all locks?
No. A "master" key is a key which works many locks. In order for a particular master key to work in a lock, the lock has to be set up to work on that master key. Locks are typically master keyed in hotels, office buildings, and schools. Rest assured that there is no such master key that opens all locks.
I can install the hardware, why not just buy it at the home center and do it myself?
Products typically sold in home stores are residential quality at best, at worst the shelves are stacked with low end products meant to increase profits for the manufacturer and the retailer. High quality goods offer characteristics such as, pick and drill resistance, access control options, protection against the unauthorized duplication of keys.
Why do I have to wiggle my keys in the lock to make it work?
As locks age over time, the pins in a lock cylinder tend to "wear" down causing your keys to stick and forcing you to "jiggle or wiggle" the key in the lock to make it work. Most likely the keys you were given have probably been "copied" several times and this, plus pin wear, can cause your lock to act like it is breaking.
