Common questions#
Rekey or replace: which do I need after moving in?
Rekeying changes the pins so old keys stop working and costs a fraction of replacement. Replace only if the hardware is worn, damaged or you want an upgrade.
How fast can a locksmith get me back inside?
Metro locksmiths typically arrive within 30 to 60 minutes, and most residential lockouts are opened in under 15 minutes without damage.
