Broken in? We secure the door tonight and fix it properly.
A kicked door, a pried frame, a snapped cylinder. The first hour after a break-in is about making the place lockable again tonight, with a repair the insurer will accept, and rekeying every lock a stolen key might open. We come the same day, photograph the damage for your claim, and tell you which of the three fixes you need.

First things first
Call the police before anyone touches anything, and get the report number: your insurer will ask for it and so will we, for the invoice. Do not sleep behind a door that does not lock. If we cannot be there within the hour we will say so, and a solid piece of wood braced under the handle beats hoping. Photograph the damage before we repair it. If keys were stolen, assume the thief knows where they fit: rekeying every exterior lock is the first job, not the last.
Before you call, and where to stop
Screwing the split frame back together looks like a fix and fails at the next kick. A proper repair replaces the strike with a long-screw reinforced strike into the stud, adds a wrap-around plate where the door itself split, and often upgrades the deadbolt. That is what an insurance adjuster expects to see.
Does this sound like you?
Tick what matches. Two or more and you are almost certainly in the right place.
Sounds like you?
Call and describe it in sixty seconds. The dispatcher confirms the price and sends the technician.
What's included
$25 service call, then a fair price for the work, quoted before anything is touched. Here is what each service includes.
Lock change or deadbolt installation, supplied and installed
Fair price, quoted before work
A new Grade 2 or Grade 1 deadbolt, or a full knob-and-deadbolt set, in place of a worn or low-grade lock. High-security cylinders (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy) come with a restricted key that cannot be copied at a kiosk.
- Hardware from Weiser, Schlage, Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, your choice
- Strike plate with 3-inch screws into the stud
- Fitted to the existing bore, no new holes in most doors
- Warranty on labour and parts
Broken key extraction, lock repair and door reinforcement
Fair price, quoted before work
Extracting a snapped key, fixing a cylinder that spins, a bolt that jams, a lock frozen solid, or a frame split by a kick, up to a reinforced strike and a wrap-around plate after a break-in.
- Extraction tools first, drilling last
- Tailpiece, spring and set-screw replacement
- Reinforced strike and door-edge plate where needed
- Photos for your insurance claim on request
Fair questions
How fast can you come?
Break-ins go to the front of the queue. A technician is usually on site within 15 to 20 minutes, and the dispatcher confirms the window when you call.
The thief came through the patio door.
A sliding door's factory latch is not a lock. We add a keyed lock and an anti-lift bar, and a security bar for the glass if you want it. A 40-minute job that removes the easiest entry on most houses.
Should I switch to a smart lock after a break-in?
Sometimes. A smart lock adds convenience and codes you can revoke; it adds no strength to the door. Strength comes from the strike, the frame screws and the deadbolt grade. We fix those first and talk smart locks after.
