Frequently Asked Questions
What types of locks can be serviced in Kensington homes?
Locksmiths in Kensington typically service traditional mechanical locks, deadbolts, keypad entry systems, smart locks, and sliding door locks. Services may include repair, rekeying, or replacement based on lock type.
Can a locksmith create a new car key without the original?
Yes. Locksmiths may generate a key using the vehicle’s VIN and by accessing the manufacturer’s key code database, depending on the model and year of the car.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying adjusts the internal components of a lock to accept a new key while retaining the original exterior hardware. Lock replacement involves installing entirely new hardware.
Are panic bars required for all commercial doors in Kensington?
Depending on the type and occupancy of the commercial property, panic bars may be required by Montgomery County fire codes. Locksmiths can assist with compliant hardware installations.
How long does it take to duplicate a standard key?
Key duplication time varies based on the key type and equipment used. Most standard keys can be duplicated in a short timeframe, while specialized keys may take longer.
