Need a locksmith in Audrain County? One call covers every town

Working across the county

Across Audrain County, the work changes with the door and the lock on it. A town house may have a bored cylindrical knob or lever lock with a single key at the outside. A rural place may use a rim lock on a gate, a deadbolt on a side door, or a worn key in a weathered keyway. A business may have a mortise lock, a push bar trim, or a door that has seen heavy key use. We look at the latch, the key, and the cylinder before anything else.

Houses, businesses and vehicles

A house lock, a storefront door, and a car door each ask for different attention. On a house, we may deal with a sticky key, a broken key end, or a deadbolt that will not turn. On a business door, the keyway, latch, and outside trim can all affect the work. On a vehicle, the door handle, the key slot, and the central lock parts can make the job feel very different from a house key. We match the work to the door, the key, and the lock face.

What to tell us when you call

When you call, tell us the town, the door type, and what the key is doing. Say whether the key goes in, turns partway, or will not go in at all. If a key broke, say where the broken piece sits in the keyway. If a car door will not open, say whether the key turns and whether the handle feels loose. For a house or business, mention the deadbolt, knob, lever, or rim lock you see from the outside. Those details help us picture the lock before we arrive.
