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

Working across the county

In Cole County, a townhouse door can have a rim set at the edge, while a rural front door may use a bored cylindrical lock on a long walk-up. A business entry can add a mortise lock with a tighter key fit and a busier latch. We work on those different setups across Mid-Missouri in Missouri, because the keyway, the knob, and the bolt can all feel different at the door. A worn key slot, a sticky latch, or a stiff thumbpiece changes the job from one stop to the next.

Houses, businesses and vehicles

A house job may involve a front knob, a deadbolt above it, or a side door with a separate key. A business door can bring a push trim piece, a narrow edge, or a mortise case set deeper in the door. A vehicle lock is smaller, tighter, and shaped around the key at the door or the trunk. We work on automotive, residential, and commercial locks, and each one calls for a different opening at the cylinder, the keyway, or the latch.

What to tell us when you call

When you call, tell us the town, the type of door, and whether it is a house, business, or vehicle. Let us know if the key turns partway, if it will not go in, or if the latch feels stuck. Mention whether you see a round knob, a lever, a deadbolt thumbturn, or a car door key slot. If a key broke off, say where the broken piece sits. If there is a second lock on the same door, mention that too, along with the key or the car door.
