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.
