Restricted keys: who can copy yours?
A standard key can be copied at almost any hardware store. A restricted or patented keyway can only be duplicated by an authorised dealer with your ID or a security card. If you want to know exactly how many copies of your house key exist — useful when you have cleaners, carers or contractors — ask us about restricted-key deadbolts.
Smart locks for busy households
With a keypad deadbolt each family member, a dog walker or a relative can have their own code, and you can delete a code without changing anyone else’s. We install them, set them up with you and make sure the mechanical key backup works.
Hospital staff and long shifts
With a large hospital in the neighbourhood, many residents work long or overnight shifts. If you get home at 7 a.m. to find your keys missing, call — our phones are answered every day, all day.
Porches, storm doors and side entrances
Older Weequahic houses often have an enclosed porch, a storm door and a separate side entrance to a basement or driveway. Each one is a door someone can use, so it is worth looking at them together rather than only the front lock. We can key them alike, add a deadbolt where the frame allows, and adjust storm door latches that no longer hold in the wind.

Frequently asked questions
What is a restricted key?
A key with a patented or controlled profile that only an authorised dealer can copy, usually with ID or a key card. It lets you control how many copies exist.
Will a smart lock work if the battery dies?
Most have a mechanical key override and warn you well before the battery runs out. We set up and test the override when we install.
