In most cases you keep your existing hardware.

Good locksmithing is about doing the small things right — clean cuts, correct components, proper alignment and a final test before we leave. We take that care on every broken key extraction job in Pleasanton, because the details are what separate a lasting fix from a temporary patch.

A little prevention goes a long way. Once we have handled the immediate need, we are glad to point out simple steps that reduce the odds of a repeat — a spare key kept somewhere safe, a small hardware upgrade on a vulnerable door, or a quick adjustment that keeps a lock operating smoothly.
