My Granite Hills home is on a hillside with multiple outbuildings, can you key everything alike?
Yes. Multi-structure keyed-alike rekey is a common local job type on the rural-edge Granite Hills properties. The matched independent locksmith rekeys or replace cylinders on the residence and any outbuildings (storage, equipment, secondary structures) so everything opens with a single key. For larger properties with multiple access tiers (homeowner master, family access, service access), the matched independent locksmith can design a full master-key system instead. The locksmith quotes from cylinder count and multi-structure keyed-alike scope.
Do you do mobile programming in San Diego, or do I have to drive somewhere?
Some independent automotive locksmiths offer mobile programming for supported vehicles. Swift Key does not guarantee that every vehicle or procedure can be completed on site. Compatibility and whether the work can be done mobile must be confirmed first.
