How fast can you get to a house lockout?

Typical arrival across the St. Louis metro depends on traffic and where our closest tech is. We will give you a realistic window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.

Should I rekey my locks or replace them?

If the hardware is sound, rekeying is far cheaper than replacing and takes minutes per lock. We only recommend replacement when the lock is worn, damaged or too weak for the door.

Can you open my door without damaging it?

In the overwhelming majority of residential lockouts, yes. Non destructive entry is the goal on every call, and we tell you before we start if a lock will have to be drilled.

How fast can you actually get here?

We confirm a real arrival window when you call. We give you a real arrival window when you call.

It depends on the lock and the job, which is why we confirm the exact price on site before starting. Nothing begins until you have agreed to it.

Can you make a car key with no original?

Yes. We cut and program replacement car keys and fobs for most makes and models on site, even when every key is lost.

Do you program key fobs and remotes?

Yes. Key fob replacement, remote programming and push-to-start smart keys are all done at your vehicle with our own equipment.

Do I need to tow my car to a dealership?

No. We are a mobile service, so we come to the car. That is usually faster and cheaper than towing to a dealer.

How long does a car key replacement take?

Most car keys are cut and programmed in about 20 to 40 minutes once we are on site, depending on the vehicle.

What if I lost every key to my car?

That is an all-keys-lost job and we handle it. We originate a new key from the vehicle rather than copying an existing one.

Can you rekey my locks instead of replacing them?

Usually yes. Rekeying keeps your existing hardware and gives you new keys, which costs less than replacing every lock.

Do you install deadbolts, smart locks and keyless entry?

Yes. We install deadbolts, high-security locks, electronic keypads and keyless entry for homes and businesses.

Do you handle commercial jobs?

Yes. Master key systems, panic bars, door closers, high-security deadbolts and commercial door hardware.

Yes. Home, office, fireproof and depository safes, plus supply and installation if you want a new one.

Will you damage my door?

Almost never. Most lockouts open without damage. If a lock has to be drilled we tell you before, not after.

What hours are you open?

5:30am to 11pm, seven days a week, across the St. Louis metro.

Which areas do you cover?

St. Louis city and county plus Creve Coeur, Chesterfield, Ballwin, St. Charles, Florissant, Bridgeton, Fenton, Eureka, Wildwood, Maryland Heights and the surrounding metro.

Licensed and insured in Missouri, and happy to show it when we arrive.

Tips to Enhance Home Security While on a Trip

Going on a vacation without ever considering the safety of your home is not a good idea. This will attract burglars or thieves to prey on your home. So, in order to avoid this, you need to learn several home security tips. Read on to know how to protect your home before you hit the road for a vacation. Improve home security with these tips!

Go for a security system

The simplest way to secure your house is via an effective home security system. With perimeter detection and motion sensors, Lucky Locksmith safeguards your house in the event of a break-in. We also offer remote monitoring, so that you can monitor your house via your smartphone when away on a vacation.

Install an alarm security system with a panic button

Installing a supervised alarm security system with a panic alert functions well when it comes to one’s protection and security. Just one press of the button and it transmits a panic signal to the allocated control room. They then contact the person in distress and also the police authorities, ambulance, and fire authorities. This is a very operative and rapid way of fetching help to your door in an immediate means.

Have security lights

It is often noticed that burglars take advantage of the dim and dark lighted corners of the house. Long summer nights are an ideal chance for burglars to sneak inside the house and steal the precious valuables. A motion detector lighting system will allow your house to be safer during long summer nights when you’re away.

Go for roller shutters and window locks

Make sure that your window locks are key-locked so that no one can break the window glass and enter the house. If the window is key-locked, the burglar will take more time to remove the glass and enter, basically slowing their entire process while the police arrive. Similarly, roller shutters offer actual insulation and security. They can be a bit expensive but they have plentiful benefits if one considers from a security point of view.

Secure your lawn before your trip/vacation

Tidy up your residence for your departure by positioning valuables – bikes, tools, and grills – in a protected shed or garage, and trimming the shrubs so that the burglars cannot hide while trying to break into your house. Scan your house for anything that burglars might use to break into your house, such as a hammer or brick, and place it inside.

Always be in connect with your neighbors

Neighbors may come to your rescue in cases where you are not at home and the same has to be kept safe and secure. In that case, always make sure that you have good relations with your neighbors.
