The advantages of an access control electronic lock are:

  • Total key control, keys are capable of being removed or added without having to rekey the lock cylinder.
  • Access control which has transaction logging and all activity is recorded.
  • It saves valuable time with access control, no fumbling for keys and being caught unaware of your surroundings.
  • No lost keys, although the code maybe forgotten and may need to be retrieved.
  • Greater security as unauthorized persons are unable to get in.

Electronic locks make use of solenoids, magnets or motors that will actuate the lock by either the supply of power or the removal of power.

Locksmith Wizard covers the greater Los Angeles area and many of it surrounding counties.  We have dedicated locksmiths who will attend to your locksmith problems as quickly as possible after your call.

 

Why would you need to rekey locks?

Rekeyed locks are usually needed when you want to have only one key to the many doors of your premises, or if you have lost our keys or had them stolen.

Locks usually have a set of tumblers that respond to the cut of a key.  A locksmith is able to rekey locks making them accessible with only one key, this eliminates the need to carry bunches of keys when one key can be designed to open all the locks.  If you move into a new home, apartment, commercial premises or buy a second hand car, there is no need to replace all the locks, you can have them rekeyed.  Landlords find this very useful when their rented premises change hands.  They don’t need to replace lots of locks when they can have the locks rekeyed at a cheaper price. Safe and file cabinets can also have their locks rekeyed.  It’s certainly worth considering when you need to replace a lock for whatever reason.

Master key to your home/office

Apart from rekeying for security purposes, homeowners and businesses have multiple locks rekeyed to one key for convenience.  It eliminated the need to carry a bunch of keys trying to find the right one when you need it.  Rental properties which have multiple units for rent its necessary to have a master key to the units which all open all the locks, and for the tenants each one has individual keys that will only open their own unit and no one else’s.  Locksmith Wizard technicians are highly experienced in all aspects of rekeying locks

Locks key code are used for digital locks that don’t require keys or of a key is used such as a transponder key where one uses remote means of locking or unlocking your car.

The Remote keyless system

The remote keyless system has been designed to allow access or deny access to a company’s premises, a home or your vehicle.  How it works in a vehicle, for instance,  the ‘key’ had a pre programmed code that when the button or key is pressed that a remote signal will activate in the car’s computer which recognizes the signal by its code and opens or closes the door. Should you lose your key a locksmith can gain entry by entering a pre-determined number code he will be able to open your door for you. With special equipment in his mobile unit he will also be able to replicate your keyless key so you are operational again.  Should you have lost the key then it is advisable to change the code which your locksmith will be able to do to prevent your original key from gaining entry to your car. You can also have a remote keyless system for your ignition. A remote keyless system can be operated from several feet from the point of access, even in a vehicle that is parked outside; you could open the doors inside a building.

Locks Change Key

Keys are the instruments that are used to operate locks, a normal key consists of two parts, the one part is the blade, this slides into the keyway of a lock.  It is the cut on the blade that will distinguish between the different locks.  The other part is the bow which is the piece that protrudes outside of the lock which a person can use to put pressure to turn the key.

The blade of a key is used to operate on a specific lock or if the locks have been rekeyed then it could open more than one lock.

Loss of a key is a security risk for your home, office or vehicle

If you are absent minded and lose your keys in your home that is one thing, it does not pose much of a security risk.  But if you lose your keys outside your home that become a serious security risk, it means that your home is vulnerable,  you might be safe is you don’t have identification with your keys but that is not always the situation,  a handbag of purse that is stolen often carries not only your keys, but your name and address. The problem increases if you have a family then you need to protect them from possible harm. In addition to the lost of your keys, there is the added problem you are locked out of your home.

Who to call in such an emergency

In a situation like this you need a reliable locksmith who can come to your aid as soon as possible so that you can get the problem sorted out.  You have a choice, the locksmith can pick you lock and replace the key, but remember that a key lost can still open your door, so its advised to have the lock rekeyed or completely replaced.  Both options offer good security as opposed to replacement of key. Call Locksmith Wizard and we will attend to your call very quickly.
