Reliable and Trustworthy Locksmiths Services
Whether your home was built in the 1800’s or the 2000’s TSK have the skills and knowledge to cut keys for or repair any lock at your residence, be it an antique lock or the latest product. TSK offers the whole suite of locksmith services for your home. We have the skills, knowledge, and professional experience required to rekey, repair, or replace all types of locks in your home, from antique-style rim or mortice locks, to standard entrance sets, deadbolts, or window locks, and the very latest in electronic or digital locking mechanisms.
TSK can come to your home and provide you with an obligation-free security inspection, advice, and quote. Our expert tradespeople will tell you what locks need to be installed, whether to lower insurance premiums or reduce the risk of break-in as to protect your family and possessions.
TSK can supply and install new locks for you, or we can install locks that you supply yourself. Our qualified staff can also repair, replace, or rekey all types of domestic locks, from knobsets and deadlocks, to sliding door locks and patio bolts, as well as letterbox and window locks. We can also adjust doors and realign lock strikes, which often move with changes in weather, to ensure that that your doors swing properly, and latches sit correctly in their strikes.
Remember that rekeying locks is always extremely important after purchasing a new home, rekeying the locks of your recently purchased new home will ensure the previous owner does not have access. This is particularly important if it was ever used as a rental, as there could be any number of keys 'floating' around out there. Otherwise, if someone ever did steal something after gaining access with an old key, it could become an 'insurance nightmare'.
Commercial Locksmithing
Is your business premises and assets secure?
TSK have the skills and knowledge to repair or install locks to protect your business from theft and break-in and to ensure that when things do not go to plan your customers are also protected such as ensuring those emergency exit devices are working correctly.
Often it is not until things do not go to plan, and after an event that businesses identify what risks of liability their enterprise are exposed to be it theft or simply non-compliance to requirements.
Like it or not in todays world there is a host of legislation, standards and building codes that businesses are required to adhere to (or advised to adhere to), in order to protect the health and safety of persons. These include what locks and egress devices are installed at your business premises.
TSK are abreast of what legislation, standards and building codes need to be met to not only protect your business possessions but also protect your business from liability.
