Most people only think of a locksmith when they're locked out. But a qualified locksmith can help with a wide range of security jobs at home, in the car and at work. Here are ten worth knowing.
1. Lockout help
Home, car and office lockouts are the classic call. A good locksmith tries non-destructive entry first.
2. Rekeying
New pins, new keys, same lock. Ideal after moving, losing keys or staff changes. See why to rekey when you move.
3. Lock repair
Sticky, loose or misaligned locks can often be repaired rather than replaced.
4. Lock replacement and upgrades
When a lock is worn out, or you want a higher grade, a locksmith can recommend and fit the right hardware for each door.
5. Key cutting and duplication
From house keys to mailbox keys, accurate cutting means keys that work smoothly the first time.
6. Car key replacement and programming

Keypad and app-controlled locks can make access easier for families and rentals. A locksmith can check that your door suits the lock you choose.
8. Master key systems
For landlords and businesses, one master key opens everything while individual keys open only certain doors.

Locksmiths open many safes without damaging them, and can install new safes properly anchored.

A walk-through of your property can highlight weak doors, poor strike plates and keys you've lost track of.
