Sliding patio door security
Sliding glass doors are a common weak point because the factory latch is often light. A locksmith can replace a worn latch, add a secondary lock at the top or bottom of the frame, or fit a keyed handle set. A bar in the lower track is a sensible low-cost extra. If the door drags or will not latch, worn rollers or poor alignment may be the real problem and are worth checking first.
Ignition switch and cylinder trouble
A key that will not turn, turns only with jiggling, or comes out while the engine is running points to wear in the ignition cylinder or in the key itself. Sometimes a worn key is the whole problem, and a fresh copy cut from code solves it. Otherwise the cylinder may need repair or replacement. Avoid forcing the key, because a snapped key makes the job bigger.
File cabinet and desk locks
Office file cabinets and desks usually use small wafer locks that are easy to replace. When the key is lost, a locksmith can often open the cabinet carefully, then fit a new lock or cut a key from the code stamped on the lock face. Keying several cabinets alike makes them simpler to manage.

Will you need proof that I live there?
Expect to be asked for ID showing the address, or vehicle registration for a car. It protects you and your property from someone else requesting entry.
Can you fix a door that will not latch?
Often the cause is a misaligned strike plate, a worn latch or a sagging hinge. A locksmith can adjust or replace the parts involved, and will tell you if the door itself needs a carpenter.
What if my key fob stopped working?
Try a new battery first. If the fob still fails, it may need reprogramming or replacement, which a mobile locksmith can handle for many vehicles.
