People call us when something has gone wrong with their lock, their key, or their access to a property. Before picking up the phone, many customers want to understand what to expect. These are the questions we hear most often, answered directly.
Emergency and Lockout Questions
What should I do if I am locked out of my house? Call a licensed locksmith immediately. Do not attempt to force entry, as this can damage your door frame or lock hardware. A professional locksmith can open your door without causing damage and can rekey or replace the lock if needed. Call us at (608) 708-7497 for emergency lockout service in Janesville, WI.
Do you provide emergency locksmith services? Yes. We offer 24 hour emergency locksmith service for homes, businesses, and vehicles throughout Janesville and Rock County. We respond to lockouts and urgent lock repairs day or night.

Key and Lock Questions
Can you replace a lost car key? Yes. We can cut and program replacement keys for most vehicle makes and models, including transponder keys and key fob systems. We handle this on-site so you do not need to visit a dealership.
What is transponder key programming? A transponder key contains a chip that communicates with your vehicle’s ignition system. If the chip is not programmed correctly, the car will not start even if the key fits in the ignition. We program transponder keys on-site for most makes and models.
Can you extract a broken key from my lock or ignition? Yes. Broken key extraction is one of our standard services. We use specialized tools to remove broken key fragments without damaging the lock or ignition cylinder.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock? Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work. The hardware stays in place. Lock replacement means installing entirely new hardware. Rekeying is the more cost-effective option when the existing lock is in good condition.
Residential Questions
Should I rekey my locks after moving into a new home? Absolutely. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the old key exist or who has them. Rekeying is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to take control of your home’s security.
Can you install smart locks? Yes. We install and configure many types of smart locks and keyless entry systems for residential properties. We can help you select a system that fits your needs and budget.
Do you install deadbolts? Yes. Deadbolt installation is a core part of our residential locksmith services. A properly installed deadbolt is one of the most effective physical security upgrades for a home.
Commercial Questions
Do you work with commercial properties? Yes. We provide lock installation, rekeying, master key systems, access control solutions, and security upgrades for businesses of all sizes in Janesville and Rock County.
What is a master key system? A master key system allows property managers or business owners to use a single key to open multiple locks, while individual keys only open specific doors. It is ideal for office buildings, multi-tenant properties, and commercial facilities.
Can you handle access control installation for an office? Yes. We install and service electronic access control systems for commercial properties, including keypad entry, card readers, and keyless systems.
