Home lockouts in Palatka, FL – anytime, day or night
The call we receive the most often is regarding lockouts in residential properties across Palatka. This means keys left in or locked inside houses, apartments and even mobile homes. Whether you live south of historic downtown on the north banks of the St. Johns river or near the Palatka Golf Club; we can unlock you fast. Our objective here is to get you in without damaging the locks on your doors. Most residential locks can be easily picked or bypassed within minutes and continue functioning normally afterward. Drilling as the means of unlocking the lock is the last resort. In case of broken key lodged inside the deadbolt, we will remove the shard and immediately cut the new key while standing right next to you. This is how fast we operate, and this way you save money. Our lockout service operates non-stop, 24/7 throughout the entire week, and yes holidays are covered too. So if you forgot the key somewhere inside a vehicle in Riverfront park during the overnight shift at the Georgia-Pacific Mill in Palatka, we can still help!
Rekey your existing locks after purchase of home or moving tenants out
Rekey means the change of pins inside a residential lock in order to make current keys useless, while only newly cut keys will operate. This process leaves the actual hardware undisturbed and thus becomes the least expensive solution compared to buying completely new locks. It is also the preferred procedure for landlords changing tenants out of their property or after purchasing a house. Palatka hosts large amounts of rentals and vacation rentals along the riverbanks towards Satsuma and Welaka. We are often contacted between tenants and can perform key-change services at the entire premises at one visit. Also, at that moment, we could make each entry door lock operate with one common key – called keyed alike.
Lock changes and new deadbolt installations in houses in Palatka
If certain locks are simply worn and can no longer be used – whether a doorknob assembly or rim lock – we change it out completely with a brand-new assembly. As for deadbolt locks – some locks must simply be swapped for safety concerns. We carry such brands as Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale, offering everything from knob and deadbolt assemblies to heavy-duty Grade 1 deadbolts with a solid 1-inch thick bolt mechanism. Each deadbolt installed receives a proper strike plate mounting with at least 3-inch screws directly into wooden door jambs for maximum security. All other types of door locks including storm door locks, garage side door locks, sliding glass door locks, mailbox locks, etc., are always included in our inventory. Finally, special attention should be paid to mobile homes. Out-swing doors require specific latch and deadbolt hardware that can’t be found in typical store aisles. Putnam county has lots of mobile home parks from Bostwick down to Florahome.
Lock repairs for house door locks stuck due to swelling and wear-out
During humid summer months combined with exposure to moisture from the nearby rivers causes wooden doors across Palatka to swell, resulting in poor locking capabilities. Instead of calling us right away, residents keep trying to slam the door until it catches – yet the real reason behind malfunctioning of the lock may not even reside in the cylinder itself. In vast majority of these cases – the problem lies in damaged springs or incorrectly positioned strike plates. What we can do here is repair the malfunctioning elements or replace the faulty component. However if the whole lock requires changing – we inform the homeowner prior to taking action and quote for it.
