Spare Key Cutting in Salford: Why a Second Key Matters
Most lockouts happen because people have only got one key to their house which has been lost, broken or locked inside. To avoid this simple precaution is to have a spare key.
Always make sure you have spare keys. You can get an extra key cut for everyone who needs one and leave a spare with a trusted neighbour or relative. When getting a key cut, make sure you use a good original; a worn or bent key can be difficult to copy. If you do find yourself locked out, don’t worry, our emergency locksmith in Salford can get your door open.
Office Key Cutting in Salford: Control Who Holds Each Key
It’s important to control who has keys to your office. Lost office keys pose a security risk as they can gain access to your building until you have the lock changed.
We can help by cutting office keys on site and making sure you only cut one for each member of staff that should have access. This way you know who has the keys, and if a key hasn’t been handed back when an employee leaves we can come and change the lock cylinder.
Restricted and High Security Key Cutting in Salford
Restricted keys can only be legally copied with evidence you are allowed to have the key copied. For commercial keys this is usually either a letter from the owner of the building or a copy of the lease.
High-security keys can sometimes be cut on a mobile visit; however, not all keys can be. Give us a call and describe the key, what it opens and if you’ve had problems getting it copied before, and we’ll let you know if we can cut it before we book a call-out.
Key Cutting Prices in Salford
The cost of key cutting will vary depending on the type of key and how many copies you require.
Every quote includes labour, parts and VAT, with no call out fee, and we confirm the full price on the phone before we travel.
