Locksmiths

• Most locks can be opened without destroying the lock; most locksmiths can pick a lock and prioritise using non-destructive techniques.

• An auto car locksmith will be able to pick your car door’s lock without damaging the lock if you’re ever locked out.
• Auto locksmiths can cut you a new key if you need a replacement car key; however, it might also require some programming with the complex electronics involved.
• An auto locksmith can also repair car keys if your keys are broken or worn down. 
• Auto locksmiths can solve keys broken off in the ignition by removing the key and repairing or replacing the ignition. The same solution works for keys stuck in a car door or boot.

• Emergency locksmiths can also replace any locks that have worn down or rusted shut; most locksmiths advise you to change your door’s locks every seven years. However, this depends on how often the door is used and if the locks are damaged. Additionally, another factor to consider is if there have been changes in your life, that make replacing the locks necessary.

• Locksmiths can install a new locking mechanism on a door; typically, this is done as part of a new build. However, it may become necessary due to changes in how the building is used.

• Locksmiths recommend that you upgrade your locks for increased security on your home or business. Statistics indicate some burglaries involve a forced door, and upgrading your locks should buy you valuable time. Ask your locksmith for recommendations on the best locks for your purpose.

• How do you know if you should repair a lock rather than replace it before it becomes an emergency lock repair? Our locksmiths here at YourPro recommend getting your locks repaired if you have difficulty turning the key or if it gets stuck in the lock frequently. Time wears down some parts of a lock, and they stop moving. Getting it repaired at that stage saves you the additional cost of replacing it.

• You can change a lock without having to replace the actual locking mechanism; this means changing the working key of the lock so that a new one replaces the old key. Rendering the old key useless; this is usually cheaper than replacing the lock.

• Locksmiths also recommend installing a door closer on entrance doors to ensure it closes behind people passing through. Typically, this is done at commercial properties, and they come in many different types, from pneumatic door closers to electronic door locking mechanisms.

• Locking mechanisms on apartment block gates see a lot of traffic, heavy handling and are usually exposed to the elements. Locksmiths regularly have to replace these mechanisms as a result.
• We would like to remind you that you may need to order duplicate keys, as locks typically come with two or three keys.

Costs are impacted by the service, the locksmith’s experience, and when and where the service occurs. However, the average rates typically range between €70 to €100 , with an additional €12-25 per lock cylinder to rekey your door. You can select any one of our locksmiths that suit your pocket with full confidence that the locksmithing service they provide is completed to a high standard.

A locksmith is a skilled technician who deals with locks of all types, from cars to safes. Locksmiths manufacture, change, install, adjust, and repair locks of all sizes and shapes. They can also change lock combinations, duplicate keys, and bypass a lock when you’ve lost the key; more importantly, they can help you get back in your home if you have locked yourself out.

In Ireland, a locksmith must be licensed, which means being security vetted and background checked for a criminal history. Typically, this would also mean being certified as competent after passing an examination. One of the most sought-after qualifications is from the Master Locksmith Association (MLA), based in the UK.

Locksmiths usually give you a guarantee, or some version of it, to indicate that the work is completed to standard. Most premium parts come with a year-long warranty at the minimum too.

Few things are worse than a locksmith emergency; being locked out of your home late at night when the rain is coming down hard is never a pleasant experience.

First, check to see if there is a window or door open or a spare key available. Then phone someone else who may have a key, like family or a work colleague. Finally, if none of those methods get results, open YourPro, and ask for a locksmith to open a door.

Here at YourPro, we firmly believe in providing premium service and vet all our trusted service providers carefully so that you can rest easy knowing that they will complete your projects to industry standards. However, in the case of an emergency, we recommend that you ask your locksmith how fast they can reach you. Please let the locksmith know If there are any underlying problems, they need to be made aware of.
