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

Working across the county

Across Boone County, the work changes with the door and the lock on it. A townhouse entry may have a bored cylindrical knob with a keyhole at eye level. A rural gate or outbuilding may use a heavy padlock or a stout deadbolt at a side door. A business front may have a mortise lock on a glass entry or a rim lock on a rear door. We look at the keyway, the bolt, and the way the key turns in that specific lock.

Houses, businesses and vehicles

A house lock is about the front door, the side door, or the deadbolt above the knob. A business job may involve a storefront latch, a panic bar, or a tighter key control on the entry. A vehicle lock means the door handle, the key slot, and the interior latch. We work on each one with a different approach, since a car door does not act like a house knob, and a storefront lock does not match a vehicle key cylinder.

What to tell us when you call

When you call, tell us what you are standing in front of. Say whether it is a house door, a business entry, or a car door. Tell us what you can see on the lock face, the key, or the handle. Let us know if the key is missing, bent, or stuck, and whether the door is open or closed. If the key turns partway or will not turn at all, that detail helps us match the work to the lock and the key.
