Front door, side door, storm door: one key

Many Malverne homes have a front door, a side or back door, and sometimes a storm door with its own lock. Over the years each one ends up with a different key, and the key ring keeps growing.

Alex can often key them to one key:

Compatible locks rekeyed to one new key, so old keys stop working
Each lock checked first. Some storm-door handles use a different key type
Worn or sticking locks repaired or replaced, with the price before any work
Copies cut on site for everyone in the house

Rekeying

What homeowners, commuters and shop owners call Alex for most.

Fix: non-destructive entry first. If a lock has to be drilled or replaced, you hear why and the price before he does it

House lockouts

Car keys at the Malverne and Westwood stations

Key won't turn in the cold? Do this, not that

Winter mornings are hard on outdoor locks. Three safe steps.

Don't force itTwisting harder is how keys snap inside the lock. If it won't turn with normal pressure, stop.
Skip the hot waterHot water can refreeze inside the lock and make it worse. Use a de-icer made for locks, or warm the key gently.
Call if it's still stuckIf the lock still won't turn, or part of a key is stuck inside, Alex frees it or repairs the lock, and tells you the price first.
