No matter what trouble comes down the road when it comes to lock issues, San Marcos Locksmith is the one you can count on.

Locked doors, cabinets?

ABLE TO UNLOCK YOUR PROBLEMS

Have you ever been locked out and left the key inside the house?

It's also a hassle not being able to open your cabinet because of its defective lock.

The above could potentially lead to an emergency situation, right? In this situation San Marcos Locksmith can be counted on.

At San Marcos Locksmith, various services are available such as opening the door of your house without the need to break it.

LOCK ISSUES INSIDE THE HOUSE OR OFFICE

What can be closed unexpectedly inside the house or office and even in another establishment or building that will cause you fear or problems?

LOCKED DOORS

A common problem at home is the door that suddenly closes and cannot be opened. It's scary especially when there's an emergency and the door need to be opened.

Door jamming can happen if dirt gets into it and builds up in its internal mechanism eventually.

It is also a bigger problem if the person who is locked out is a minor or just an infant, or a senior citizen who is already weak, or the disabled. They know very well the right thing to do in this problem. Seeking the help of a professional like Locksmith San Marcos is a big deal.

The door being closed or locked can also be due to misalignment of the lock or misaligned strike plates. It can be very helpful to ask a lock expert for guidance and to advise you on the correct steps to take for this problem.

The sudden closing of the door may also be due to a broken key inside it. It is also not an option to remove the damaged key piece from the inside as it may further damage the door lock.

Any door lock problem should not be ignored or prolonged. Even if it's small and if the problem is obvious, take action so that it doesn't become a hassle.

When the door lock is broken and not repaired immediately, it will be a good opportunity for thieves to break into you.

One of the problems that we can help you with, is when the door lock is entered with the key, and the key just turns round and round. In American Locks & Keys, we will fix this for you!

LOCKED CABINET OR DRAWERS

We fix locked cabinets that cannot be opened with your key.

Don't even try to open a locked cabinet or drawer, you will definitely have limited options and might just end up breaking your furniture. In this, you need to know the configuration of your cabinet or drawer. You also need to know the type of lock used. It is may also injure or harm you if it there is anything pointed or sharp metals that you are not aware of.

It is also risky to insert straightened paper clips (bobby pins, or knives) in what is thought to be the correct unlock position to fiddle with the cabinet or drawer key. Maybe in the twist it will break and leave a part of the clip inside and the problem becomes worse.

Picking the lock by yourself with no experience may damage other parts of the cabinet or drawer door, especially if force is used.

Again, with the problems mentioned above due to being locked out, you need to be aware (even before this situation occurs) that the expertise of a residential or commercial locksmith is necessary. Locks should not be tampered with, especially digital or electronic ones. The problem should not be complicated any more, calling American Locks & Keys is sure to come to your rescue.

Call us now and inquire about your concerns.

First off it was already the worst day of my life. Car packed the gills after my bf dumped me. Had to work from 6 am to now ..5:30 I’m at my last work visit and what do I do? Lock my car keys inside. I called this company and literally before I could Even worry they showed up. I swear they showed up faster than the police would! He was so friendly and sweet and helped open immediately. I didn’t have all the proof they needed but he insured me how easy it would be to clear. One phone call and me and my car keys are together again! I’m so grateful!!

Joe came to the house we had just bought, and moved into, to give us an estimate on replacing the door locks. We have five doors that needed to be changed/rekeyed. I had been given a quote by another local locksmith for $3200! He said I would need new doors and what not. And maybe that would’ve been ideal. But Joe came to give his estimate and re-keyed the entire house and spent four hours on the front door which had an old brass fixture. It was like a grandfather clock! He even called in his brother, I believe, to assist. He wasn’t going to leave until it was right. And he fixed it perfectly. The final bill? $310. Not only was he efficient and reasonably priced, he’s a very likable man. Thank you so much Joe.

My coworker created the MyKey setting on our Ford 150 work truck, which made all kind of restrictions on the vehicle. Limiting the speed and volume on the radio to name the few. To take off the setting we had to get another key. Every Ford dealer in town wanted to charge us over $300.00 and appointment was not available for the next weeks. These guys got it done on the spot at the fraction of the price. I wish every business to be as efficient and knowledgeable as these gentlemen.

I was extremely pleased with the service and customer service that I received from Joe, Tony, and David. I called yesterday explained what I needed and Joe personally took care of me all the way down to calling the shop in advance of my arrival so they would be expecting me. Fixed the problem above and beyond what I had expected and was reasonably priced. As a female sometimes we can be clueless when it comes to cars and I appreciate the fact that none of these men tried to take advantage of my ignorance concerning my vehicle. Thank you so much for taking care of me and lifting the burden of not being able to lock my car before today. Highly highly recommend.

Everyone needs a good dentist, a reliable accountant and in this complicated world, a trusted locksmith. Joe Kisaka has been very helpful, and instructive on solving the problem of too many old locks on a house needing refurbishing. In addition, when locked out on a weekend morning, he was still able to resolve my situation and I made it to church on time. I appreciate his professionalism.
