Frequently asked questions

Woodbridge Locksmith always provides better consultation on keys and on everything related to locks. These are the questions we are asked most often.

Locking is sometimes hard and I have to force the door to get it unlocked. It used to work fine, so what is happening?
Doors are usually built from various woods, and those woods are easily affected by changes in the weather. Because of that, the wood in a door loses its alignment over time and the door needs to be adjusted so it locks properly again. Woodbridge Locksmith always provides better consultation on keys and on everything related to locks.
My key is not working properly and it is hard to turn. What should I do?
Do not force it, because that can break the key inside the lock and that only makes the trouble worse. In the meantime you can try a rekeying process by checking that the pin heights are correct. The better option is to call Woodbridge Locksmith for help.
My key has simply stopped working properly. What is the reason behind it?
It happens because the key or the lock is seizing, drying out or short of lubrication. Sometimes it also needs a code cut key, or a cylinder that has been rekeyed. Woodbridge Locksmith keeps an innovative approach with customers by providing high class locking solutions.
What if I use WD-40 on my door locks?
It is a bad idea. It gums up the moving parts and attracts dust, which makes lock failure much more likely. Graphite has to be used carefully in commercial and residential locks, and a Teflon or silicone based lubricant is a better choice than WD-40.
I also have to shake the key to make it work. Is there a solution?
You need a code cut key. If the lock still does not work well after that, you may need the cylinder rekeyed. Ask Woodbridge Locksmith about the full range of rekeying options.
Is it possible to use the same key for all my locks, and how is that done?
Yes, as long as your key slides into all of the locks in question. If it does not slide in, the lock has to be changed to match the brand of the key. Woodbridge Locksmith is ready to make the keys you want, so that the work ahead is easier for you.
I lost my keys and I need to change all my locks. Do I have to buy all new locks?
No. Woodbridge Locksmith can simply rekey them by changing the combination to a new code. Replacing everything would be far more expensive.
Is it possible to have locks that work with the keys I already have?
Yes. Woodbridge Locksmith supplies new key locks and works with existing ones at any time.
What exactly is a master key?
You can think of it as a secondary key that opens the locks of a certain group. Woodbridge Locksmith takes great pride in setting up these kinds of keys so that people can operate their locks with one master key.
Is there a kind of key that works with every lock?
Not really. When we at Woodbridge Locksmith talk about a master key, we mean a key that operates the locks that belong to the same master key system. The days of skeleton keys are gone, and you will not find a master key that works properly with every sort of lock.
What warranty comes with your services and products?
At Woodbridge Locksmith, all of these products have their own warranty type and their own warranty period. We also suggest that you look over the details and the warranty on every purchase.
