Elmer & Son Locksmiths offers a wide array of services, ranging from basic locksmithing to more modern things. We can take care of your needs by sending one of our service men to your location, or by coming to our store.
Below is a list for what we can do for you
Whether you have a new lock or perhaps an old mortise case lock from an older home we can in most cases repair it, but if not, show you what you could replace it with.
Residential Locks Rekeyed
Why should you have your locks rekeyed? Perhaps you’re moving into a newly constructed or existing home, or someone in your family lost a set of keys. Rekeying your locks insures who ever had an existing key won’t be able to gain access to your home anymore. You could call us for a service call, or to save some of the cost you could take the locks off and bring them to us.
We extremely recommend the use of deadlocks on a home. They offer the best physical security possible for your exterior doors. Unlike a keyed knob lock which uses a spring to keep its latch in place that can be easily pried back and a strike plate that is attached to the frame by a couple of ½” wood screws which can be kicked in, a deadbolt locks the door into the frame with a solid 1” long steel bolt that can’t be pried back. It also has 3” long screws that go through the frame and into the wood stud to prevent forcible entry.
We have over 4000 different key blanks in stock, if we don’t have it chances are no one will! Our key duplicating machines are calibrated on a regular basis to make sure your key works the first time.
Elmer & Son Locksmiths is a proud distributor for Medeco® high security locks and keys. They provide the greatest protection against picking, drilling, lock bumping and unauthorized key duplication.
