From your call to an open door
§03 · The short version
One number, the whole city
Bellevue Locksmith Service is a referral line. We answer, ask a few plain questions, and pass the job to an independent locksmith contractor working nearby. That person checks the lock, confirms the price with you, and only then starts.
Calls come in from everywhere. Glass towers along NE 8th Street. Split-levels under the firs in Lake Hills. Townhomes in the Spring District that still smell of fresh paint. Cul-de-sacs off Newport Way. Same process each time: describe it, hear the numbers, decide.
What makes a front door hard to beat
Locks are graded under ANSI/BHMA standards. Grade 1 is heavy duty, Grade 3 is basic. For any outside door, and that includes the door from the garage into the house, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt is a sensible floor.
The bolt is only half of it. A strike plate held by short screws in soft trim gives way long before a good deadbolt does. Longer screws that bite into the stud cost very little. Keypad and smart deadbolts are an option if you would rather hand out codes than keys.
- Lockouts: Houses, apartments, cars and offices, opened with care for the lock.
- Rekeying: Old keys stop working; you get a fresh set, usually for less than new locks.
- New keys: Standard, high-security and transponder car keys cut where you are.
- Broken key extraction: Snapped keys pulled from door cylinders and ignitions.
- Lock repair: Sticky, loose or worn locks fixed, or swapped when repair isn't worth it.
- Ignition repair: A worn ignition can strand you; it can be repaired or replaced.
- Eviction lock changes: For property owners, after an eviction is lawfully completed.
