A 24/7 locksmith can assist with various lock, key, and security-related situations during regular hours and in emergencies. At 4 Got Keys of Wilmington, we offer 24 hour locksmith services to our residential, automotive, and commercial clients. Here are four reasons to call an around-the-clock locksmith:
1. Lockouts
Home and car lockouts are common reasons to call a 24 hour locksmith. If you find yourself locked out of your vehicle in an unfamiliar or unsafe location, a qualified locksmith can unlock your car and get you back on the road. Locksmiths can assist you when you get locked out of your home due to a lock malfunction or lost keys. If you’re a business owner or employee, a workplace lockout can disrupt your operations. A 24/7 locksmith can help you regain entry if you need to urgently access sensitive documents, equipment, or facilities. Home, business, and vehicle lockouts can occur late at night or during weekends when traditional locksmith services aren’t available, but on-call locksmiths can offer assistance during those hours.
2. Lock Damage Due to Burglary or Vandalism
After a break-in, you should change your locks immediately to prevent intruders from returning. A qualified locksmith can help secure your property by replacing the compromised locks. Our team at 4 Got Keys of Wilmington can identify damage to the locks or keys and check for signs of forced entry. One of our locksmiths can help you choose new locks that meet your home or business’s security needs. If the locks are still in good condition, the locksmith may suggest rekeying the locks. Rekeying involves changing the lock pins and creating new keys, making the old keys useless.
3. Electronic Locks Reprogramming
Electronic locks and access control systems can malfunction due to electrical issues, software bugs, or physical wear and tear. A 24/7 locksmith can diagnose the problem, whether it’s a software issue, hardware malfunction, or out-of-date access permissions. After diagnosis, our team can update access codes, reconfigure user permissions, and repair or replace malfunctioning components. After completing reprogramming or repairs, the locksmith tests the system to make sure the electronic lock or access control system functions correctly. The locksmith may offer advice on preventive maintenance to keep your electronic locks and access control systems in good working order.
4. Security Upgrades
If you want to upgrade your security system or install high-security locks, an after-hour locksmith can assist you. The locksmith can install locks with features like advanced key control, pick resistance, and drill resistance. These features make it more difficult for intruders to breach the locks. Modern security systems often include electronic access control with keyless entry systems, keypad locks, card readers, or biometric systems. An around-the-clock locksmith can install, program, and maintain these systems when it’s convenient for you to make sure they’re functioning effectively.
