Frequently asked questions
Do you come to me, or do I bring the lock to a shop?
We are a mobile locksmith. A technician drives to your home, car or business in Venice and nearby areas and does the work on site. If a part must be ordered, we will tell you before we start.
Can you help at night or on a holiday?
Our listed hours are all day, every day, including weekends and holidays. Call to check who is available right now and roughly when they can reach you.
Will you charge more for an after-hours call?
Ask when you call. We give you the price before any work begins, so there are no surprises at the door.
How do you prove I am allowed into the property or car?
We ask for ID that matches the address, a lease or utility bill, or the vehicle registration. If the documents are inside, we check them as soon as the door is open.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing a lock?
Usually, yes. Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock you already have, so old keys stop working without buying new hardware. Replacement makes sense when the lock is worn, damaged or you want a higher security grade.
