FAQs
Q: Why is there a range for some services?
Different locks, security levels, and conditions (rust, misalignment, reinforced frames, specialty immobilizers) change the time and tools required.
Q: Can I supply my own hardware or fob?
Yes—programming-only/install-only prices apply. We’ll test and inform you if a part is incompatible before proceeding.
Q: Do you damage locks to open doors?
We use non-destructive entry first. If a lock is high-security or already damaged, we’ll review options with you.
