If you are locked out, there are a few ways we are able to get you back into your car. Old vehicles without too much electronics inside the door, have a metal rod between the door handle and the actual door lock, and with a Slim Jim we can "jimmy" it, by pulling that metal rod and unlock the vehicle. We don't really like using this method because if the rod is rusty, or the plastic connector caps are dry, it might break.
An easier method we use to unlock cars is by using an air pillow, similar to a blood pressure pillow used to wrap around the arm and inflate with air using a hand pump. It's called an Air-Wedge, when deflated it's really thin and what we do is insert it into the seam between the car frame and the car door. Once it's deep in, we inflate it with air, creating a gap of about a finger width, which is just enough room to maneuver a Big-EZ locksmith rod, which has either an angled end or a hook end, that allows us to unlock the vehicle from the inside by pushing the unlock button, pulling the handle from the inside, or fishing out the keys. A few more creative ways to unlock a car is by lowering the windows either using the power window button or manual roll down. Same way is used to unlock trunks, with the trunk release button or trunk release lever.
All cars might look the same to some, the locking system is different between each make and model. On the same car, our automotive locksmith in Opa-locka might use a different method to open the car, depending on the situation. This might include lock system, button & handle condition, if the car is running or not, if the keys are visible and easy to reach or not. Once our locksmith arrives, he'll be able to visually inspect the situation and give you an estimate before he starts working.
The best way to open a car door is by using the air-wedge, inserting it into the small gap of the door, pumping it with just a little air, not too much so it doesn't bend the door or crack the window, and when it pries the door open just about an inch wide, you insert a metal rod in, and click the power locks or hit the unlock button and that's it, you're in.
Locksmith Opa-locka also cuts car keys and programs keys.
We have a few different ways of cutting a replacement car key in Opa-locka, here's a short overview of the methods:
Since the key for the ignition matches the door, on some models it's relatively easy to take off the door lock from the door, we can open the cylinder and read the cuts depth from the wafers in it, to match the ignition.
On some cars we are able to get the matching cuts for the ignition through the glove department or through the trunk.
Another way is to extract a code from the VIN number by connecting to the dealer database, which gives us the necessary key cutting information and transponder key programming information as well. This method is usually required when programming a keyless entry keyfob, especially with the push-start cars. Since connecting to the dealer costs us money, we'd rather try make a key the old fashioned manual way before needing to pass over the additional cost to you.
A third way we use to make a new replacement car key is by actually picking the ignition, then removing is from the steering wheel column or dash board, and reading the actual cuts from the ignition cylinder or ignition switch. This method requires professional locksmith skills and you can rely on Opa-locka Locksmith to do so. In some rare cases, we might need to replace the ignition. For instance: if the ignition has been replaced in the past, the door lock wouldn't match it, and the code extracted from the VIN number wouldn't match either because it's for the original ignition. In that case we'll drill it out and a new ignition would come with a new set of keys.
Most vehicles in the market right now have a Transponder key, it means there's a small chip in the head of the key, that when trying to start the car, the engine control unit (ECU) sends an electromagnetic pulse to it, and in return the chip sends back a signal, that's recognized by the ECU.
Our locksmiths in Opa-locka are able to program any type of transponder key via several methods, some using a programming computer thats used by plugging it into the port under the steering wheel, and some methods require a timed series of events such as turning the key on and off several times in a specific sequence. Once the key code is stored in the vehicle, it will disarm the immobiliser and allow you to start your car.

The number one reason customers call a locksmith in Opa-locka is when they are locked out of their home, this is what we call a House Lockout. Usually it's when you lock the doorknob from the inside, and close the door behind you, and then all of a sudden you realize you forgot your keys inside!
This sort of thing can happen to anyone, it's an automatic action we do when leaving, I do it myself, as I'm leaving my home, when I'm already a foot out, I just twist the little part on the back of the doorknob and close the door. I've gotten locked out myself when in a rush, or if I was distracted, or had my hands full. I always have a spare key in my wallet so no harm done, but I know the feeling of that first second you realize you forgot your keys.
Besides house lockouts, many service calls are for key extraction from the door lock, usually deadbolts. It happens when you mixed up the keys and tried turning the lock with the wrong one, or if the lock is stuck.
It also happens that you just lost or forgot your keys at a house of a friend or family, or at work and it's already after hours and too late to get the keys. If you misplaced your keys and can't get into your house, give us a call and we'll be glad to help you unlock the door and get you back in.
Here in Opa-locka Locksmith we have a few ways of unlocking a doorknob or unlocking a deadbolt. One of the most ancient ways of unlocking, is actually lock picking. With a set of tools we try and mimic the action of a key, which is when you insert it, the cuts on the key, having different depths, correspond to different length metal pins inside the lock, and when all are aligned correctly, they allow free spinning motion of the tumbler inside the cylinder, allowing us to actuate the lock mechanism by turning it. It isn't really complicated, but I'll explain about it in a separate blog post later on.
Lock picking is not extremely difficult, but it does require some practice and skills. Most locks are pickable, depending on the type of lock, keyway and level of security, but some just can't be picked, especially the new smart keys which have a new system.
If lock picking is unsuccessful, we still have a few tricks under our sleeves. One way is to use the same air-jack that we use to open car doors. We can use this technique only if the doorknob is locked, this will not work on a locked deadbolt. We insert it into the door frame near the door latch, and pump it up, trying to create a gap wide enough so that we can use a screwdriver to push the latch back in, and open the door. This doesn't actually unlock the door, but it lets us in nonetheless .
Using the method above is possible only in some cases, where the door isn't sitting too tight in the frame, mostly in older doors where the door hinges are already loose, giving us the room to use the air-jack.
The last resort Locksmith in Opa-locka has for unlocking a house door, be it a doorknob or a deadbolt, is by extracting the cylinder. How is it done? Well we use a small drill bit, between 1/4" to 1/8", maybe smaller, depending on the lock, drill into the head of the keyway, trying to break the security pins that are preventing the lock from turning. In a basic standard residential lock there are 5 top security pins and 5 bottom security pins. We try and drill out the 5 bottom pins, allowing the top ones to just drop down into the tumbler, and then we are able to clear the debris with a small awl or screwdriver. Once all the pins are cleared, and there's nothing in the way, we can simply turn the cylinder using a flathead screwdriver.
Besides lock outs, Locksmith in Opa-locka also replaces locks and rekeys locks.
We advice changing door locks or at least rekey them in case you just moved into a new residence. Prior to you moving in, many people may have had access to your keys. Realtors, contractors, old tenants, their friends and neighbors might have a copy somewhere. Don't take a chance on that, replacing a lock is easy and affordable. We have tons of different types of locks surely to fit your style and your budget.
Rekey is a more economical solution to change locks. What we do is change the cylinder combination of the security pins, disabling any of the old keys, and setting it to work only with a new set of keys. We normally do this when you want to keep the existing locks on your door, and if they are in good condition.
If you feel your locks are not working well and you want to rekey your doorknob or rekey your deadbolt because it's jamming or sticking, it might be possible to rekey them for a quick fix, rather than replacing the whole lock. Rekey price starts only at $19 per lock depending on the amount of security pins you have, and we'll be glad to inspect the lock and see if it should be rekeyed or if we recommend to replace it.

As a business owner / manager, you will be using the services of a commercial locksmith in Opa-locka many times. Just like people get locked out of their homes, people also get locked outside their businesses and offices. People lose or misplace keys, and if you might not really care about it at home, when it's your business, you don't want to take any chances and you'll want the locks either changes or rekeyed as soon as possible.
Most storefront doors and main office doors have an Adams Rite mechanism, either a latch, bolt or hook, operated by a Commercial Mortise Cylinder. Our locksmiths carry with them in their vans all brands of mortise cylinders in case we need to replace them on the spot.
When you're locked out of your business, we first try and pick the cylinder, but that depends on the type of lock you have and the level of security. If picking is unsuccessful or not an option, we'll try and extract the cylinder by precision pin point drilling the security pins inside the tumbler, allowing us to open the door without damaging the entire lock.
Just because the commercial locks are made from a higher grade of material, it doesn't mean it's harder for us to unlock them. We can unlock any type of commercial doorknob or commercial deadbolt, even if they are using a high security Mortise Cylinder or high security Rim Cylinder.
Besides just unlocking doors, locksmith Opa-locka also provide lock replacement service and lock installation service along with commercial rekey services including master key systems.
We always recommend replacing the locks on your business if you just moved into a new location and there is a chance that there are copies to your keys in the hands of unauthorized people such as realtors, contractors or old owners.
In case of employee turnover, when you had to let someone go, and even though you don't think they'll hold a grudge, it's always better safe than sorry, and you should replace your locks or at least rekey them. Once that person is no longer a part of your business, you cannot take any chances of his or her key copy ending up in the wrong hands.
Another reason we get called to provide locksmith service for businesses in Opa-locka is when they owner or manager just feels that the lock isn't providing sufficient amount of security, it might be old cheap locks that aren't latching/locking properly, or just plain ones that have simple keys. For any business, we recommend upgrading to high security lock systems such as Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, that have keys that prevent duplication, and they are pick-proof as well.
Master Key System: A master key system means there is a master key that can control all locks. Each lock has it's own key and works independently, but still has a master above it, that can control several different keyed locks. For owners / managers and maintenance this is ideal, since you don't have to carry a key ring with so many keys, we can configure a master key system that allows you to control an entire department, entire floor or even an entire building.
No business is too small or too big to take advantage of the master key system, but it is ideal for offices, government, hospitals and schools.
Exit Devices: Besides lockouts, lock replacements, rekey and master key systems, our commercial locksmith team in Opa-locka installs and services different locking devices and door closers. Most businesses and public areas require exit devices, also called push bars or panic bars, compliant with the ADA codes and fire department codes that allow easy exit from a building in case of an emergency.
High Security: High Security locks such as Medeco, Best, Mul-T-Lock are recommended for any business as they are much harder to temper with, in most schools, government and hospitals it is a standard.
Access Control: For businesses that wish to control employee access or monitor entry / exit, we can provide card readers, key fobs and even biometric locks that are activated with a fingerprint or voice commands.
Alarm Locks: We have electronic locks that are operated with a keypad or key, and that we can connect to your alarm system that trigger it in case of a break in.
CCTV: Noadays every business has cameras for security reasons, to monitor customers and monitor employees as well. If you don't have such a system already, or want to install additional cameras, we'll be glad to offer you a free estimate. CCTV cameras can record and store footage, and even stream live video feed to any remote computer, tablet or smartphone.
