How a lock change is done
A replacement or repair visit in Winnetka runs:

Where we are straight with you
New hardware does not cure a tired door. Where the jamb, hinges, or frame are the underlying problem, we are honest that a lock change alone will not hold, and we point you to what else the door needs. In Winnetka, we flag that on the call before we head out.
How we keep it straight
Winnetka residents can reach us day or night, and we will tell you straight what the job needs.
We check ID and proof of ownership, residence, or authorization before any lock is opened or any key is cut. It is a standard step on every call, at any hour.
What you pay turns on the hardware and the situation, so we tell you on site and put it in writing first. No work, and no charge, goes ahead without your yes.
When you call, we give you an honest estimate of how long we will take to reach you based on where our van is and traffic, not a number designed to get you off the phone.

Questions people ask
Why won't my door latch even with a new lock?
Often the door or strike is misaligned, not the lock. We check alignment as part of the job so the new hardware actually latches.
Can you match new locks to my existing key?
Usually, yes. We can key new hardware to a key you already carry so you do not add another key to the ring.
