Emergency Rekeying After Break-In — FAQ
Should I rekey or replace my locks after a break-in?
If the locks themselves are undamaged, rekeying is sufficient to make stolen keys useless. If the intruder damaged the lock or frame, we’ll recommend replacement with a higher-security option.
Can I call you before the police finish their investigation?
Absolutely — call us right away and we’ll be ready to roll the moment the police release the scene. In many cases we arrive before they finish, so there’s no waiting.
Do you provide documentation for my insurance claim?
Yes. We provide a detailed invoice describing all work performed, parts replaced, and the condition of the locks and frame upon our arrival. This documentation is typically accepted by insurance companies.
