We check the key and the lock together, because a worn lock can chew up a brand-new key, and a worn key can be cut fresh from the lock if needed.
We cut on calibrated machines and test each copy in your lock before we hand it over, rather than sending you home with a key that almost works.
You hear the cost up front, and for multiple copies we will tell you the per-key price before we start cutting.
Most of the calls we take for broken key extraction (raleigh nc) fall into a handful of familiar shapes. Here are a few we see often around Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle:
An older key has worn round at the edges and no longer turns smoothly, so a fresh original is cut.
A small crew needs identical keys so any van can open the shop in the morning.
A landlord wants a clean set of labeled keys for each unit instead of a drawer full of unmarked ones.
A homeowner near the Village District wants three matching spares before family visits for the holidays.
If we spot something else worth knowing about, a loose hinge, a strike that is about to give, a door that is dropping, we will mention it. You decide what to do about it.
For lockouts and rekeys on a home, we may ask for proof that you live there or have the right to be on the property. It protects you as much as anyone, and any honest locksmith should do it.
We keep the work area tidy, clean up after a drill or a hardware swap, and leave your door looking like we were never there apart from the lock working better.
How many doors or locks are involved changes the math. Keying several locks alike in one visit usually works out better per door than calling us back for one lock at a time.
The condition of the door and frame plays a part. A lock that fails because the door has dropped or the strike is chewed up needs that underlying issue fixed, not just the lock swapped.
Whatever the job, you hear the full price before we begin. There is no meter running and no surprise added at the end.
What a job costs comes down to a few honest things, and we would rather explain them than hide behind a vague number.
Where you are and when you call factors in too, and we will give you an honest arrival window for your spot before anyone is committed to anything.
We cut house keys, business keys, and many car keys, including transponder and fob-style keys that have to be programmed to the vehicle, and we test every copy before it leaves our hands.
If you are not sure what you have or what you need, that is normal. Tell us what the door is doing, or send a photo, and we will point you the right way before anyone commits to anything.
We are a mobile locksmith based in Raleigh, which means the work happens where you are. Around the city we get out to Midtown, North Hills, Hayes Barton, and Cameron Village regularly, and we cover the wider Triangle including Fuquay-Varina, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Apex, and Wendell.
Because we live and work here, we are used to the doors and hardware common to this area, from older homes inside the beltline to the newer subdivisions and offices going up around the edges of Wake County. That local footing is part of why Broken Key Extraction (Raleigh NC) tends to go smoothly rather than turning into a guessing game.
Enough that losing one is an inconvenience, not a crisis. Many homeowners keep two or three, and a backup stored somewhere safe off the ring.
Often the lock is worn, not the key. We can cut a fresh original from the lock itself so the copy turns the way it should.
