LOCK REPAIR – DO IT YOURSELF

Repairing Lock Yourself

ARE YOU REPAIRING A LOCK BY YOURSELF?

Repairing lock by yourself is not always a good idea. If you are concerning about your security, you would not take lock repair easy. Repairing and aligning locks isn’t always easy, as you think.

WHY TO PUT YOUR SAFETY AT RISK?

The locks on your doors are the first line to stop burglary. When locksmith is installing locks in customer’s property, he consider variety conditions of the main doors to your home; front door, side door, and back door.

That includes:

 The measurement of the deadbolt / latch – The measurement of a standard deadbolt or latch in the U.S is 2-3/4″ and 2-3/8″.

 Deadbolt / latch diameter.

 Lock face diameter.

 Bolt / latch alignment with the door frame.

 Pressure on the mechanism and the screws.

IF A LOCK IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, IT WON’T PROTECT YOU!

When you install a lock by yourself, you don’t consider all the aspects concerning your security. Installing your lock without aligning it with the frame, causing pressure on the bolt until eventually, it break. Tightening the screws too much will cause the same problem.

DEALER CAN NO LONGER DO YOUR CAR KEY

DEALER CAR KEY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Dealer car key no longer available?
Because a dealer can no longer replace your car key if your car is older than 2004.

A car dealer can only cut your automotive key by a key code. When you lose your car keys, you call a dealer. The representative asks for your vehicle VIN number to order the key code of your car. They also look for a  pin code to program your new key, if necessary.

If your vehicle is older than ten years or older than 2004-2005, the dealer can no longer retrieve the key code of your vehicle. All the data of older cars up to 2004 is erased automatically from the system of the car dealers.
