Tips and tricks every owner should know concerning locks and keys. Find out below.

• Avoid slamming doors to protect the locks

  When you slam the door, the bolt is forced back into the opening of the strike receiver. As a result, both components can get greatly damaged. If you slam a door frequently, the locking mechanism itself can break. It is worth noting that it is quite sensitive, even if it is equipped with big and thick bolts. When the mechanism fails, the only solution is to replace it.

• Can you cut a key from a manufacturer’s number?

  Yes. In most cases we can do this. Occasionally some additional information may be needed such as the brand name or a photo of the original key.

• Call an auto locksmith when you need a new car key

  You don’t have to go to your dealer to get a new car key. Our specialists say that you can simply give them a call, and have a new set of keys produced. You don’t even have to worry about your vehicle’s anti-theft system as our team can produce VAT/Chip car keys for your car.

• Save Locksmith’s Number on Your Phone

  Even if you don’t have a lock or key concern at the moment, the technicians from Locksmith in Beckenham encourage people to have the number of their chosen locksmith saved on their cell phone. If you don’t have a locksmith yet, start doing your research. Lock and keys concerns can happen anytime, including lockouts. This ensures that you have a professional to call right away.

• Save Emergency Locksmith Number

  Lockout problems can happen anytime. Our experts recommend having an emergency locksmith number saved on your phone so you have someone to call in case you face this kind of situation. Through this, you don’t have to wait for a long time to gain access to your home, office or car.

• Have Cabinet Locks Installed

  Cabinets often don’t have locks installed for convenient access of owners. However, if keeping important documents or things in your cabinet, you should have locks installed on them. This is true for both office and residential settings. Failing to do so could leave these valuable things vulnerable to theft.
