Amigos lock and safe

The next time you lose a house key, you may want to consider rekeying your door locks instead of installing new locks. A locksmith can rekey your lock and provide new keys for much less than the cost of replacing a lock.

Because locksmithing is a specialized trade, you will want to call an experienced, qualified, licensed locksmith when you are locked out of your car. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, if you should be locked out of your car.

Many cars today are equipped with transponder keys, which contain computer chips that communicate with the car. When these chips fail, the key will not start the car. Our locksmiths can fabricate and program a new key for you.

Security experts say there is no safe place to hide a copy of a house or car key. Burglars are familiar with all the popular hiding places and often watch neighborhoods hoping to discover where extra keys are hidden.

Has your vehicle's key stopped working in the lock for some reason? Our team of expert locksmiths can quickly diagnose and repair your lock and/or key, whether you have a basic system or a more sophisticated transponder, VAT/chip, or high security lock.

Remember, your entryway locks are your first line of defense against unwanted intruders in your home. Talk to your locksmith to find a lock that's going to be resistant to picking and drilling, and strong enough to withstand exterior force.

If you have the resources, add an alarm system to your home to add another layer of security. Even if you don't have an alarm, a sign indicating you do may be sufficient to convince a burglar to try another house.

If you live in a recently built condo, apartment, subdivision, or gated community where a single manufacturer supplied similar locks for every house in the community, then it may be wise to have your house rekeyed.

Replacing a transponder key at the dealership can get quite expensive. We offer fast and reliable transponder key replacement and programming services at a fraction of the cost.

Most late-model cars and tracks have central locking systems, and/or transponders. Our locksmiths are trained to handle emergency calls involving all types, and can replicate transponder keys, clone transponders, and make duplicate key fobs for locking systems.

Did you know that many burglars admit to moving on to another house after seeing a quality deadbolt lock? Having a good quality lock installed on each of your entryway doors can be an important deterrent.

One high-security measure you can take with your locks is an anti-drill feature. Here, hardened steel chips are installed in the lock housing. If an intruder is trying to drill out the lock, the drill bit will hit these steel chips and break.

If it is night, and you have lost or misplaced your keys, or your key breaks in a lock, the first thing to do is make sure you are safe. Walk to the nearest well-lit populated area before calling us. Direct us to that location, and we will transport you safely to your car.
