How does Lemon Grove's climate affect this service?
Lemon Grove locksmith work is mostly rental-rekey and aging-hardware replacement on the city's older single-family and small multi-family stock. Most homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s and run 50 to 80 years of original cylinders.. Downtown offices, Mission Valley medical practices, and Gaslamp restaurants, our highest-density commercial territory.
What is a master-key system?
A pin configuration that allows one master key to open every lock while each user has a change key that opens only their specific door(s). Useful for offices (owner has master; employees have their own), medical practices (all-access for manager, limited access for staff), and apartment buildings (property manager has master).
Restricted vs. unrestricted keyways, which do I need?
Restricted (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy) means no one can cut a duplicate key without our written authorization. Unrestricted (Kwikset, Schlage) means anyone can walk into Home Depot and cut a copy. For small offices with low turnover, unrestricted is fine. For medical, legal, or high-turnover businesses, go restricted.
