Lively Locks & Dead Bolts - Services
Emergency Calls
 Most
good locksmiths can get into almost anything without doing damage. At
Lively Locks & Dead Bolts we’re patient and persistent. Be
prepared to show us some ID (specifically, a valid driver’s license) and
possibly a vehicle registration if you want us to get into or make keys
for something, e.g., your car, house, office, warehouse, boat, motorcycle, RV,
ATV, tractor, truck, garage, room-mates bedroom, tool box, cabinet,
drawer, closet, safe, jewelry box, padlock, bathroom, submarine,
airplane, or Santa’s workshop. We don’t get in for burglars!
Vehicle Lock-Outs
For expert locksmiths, there are at least six possible ways to get
into most vehicles, which is why calling Lively Locks & Dead Bolts is so
much smarter than calling a tow truck. We might use one of several
different specialty entry tools. We might pick the lock. If a key is
clearly visible inside the car, we can actually make a key by looking at
the cuts on your key. If no key is visible, we can often fit a key for
the lock from the outside by impressioning or decoding. If the driver or
dealer has a code number, we can make a key by code. In emergencies, we
can drill (and then replace) the door lock, although in 30 years we’ve
never had to go to that extreme. And as last resorts, (options 7, 8, 9,
and 10) there’s always a sledge hammer, crow-bar, large rock, or
dynamite. Just kidding!
Keys
 Lots
of places cut keys, but Lively Locks & Dead Bolts cuts keys that work!
With virtually thousands upon thousands of keyblanks in stock, we carry
hard to find keyblanks for less common locks. From Abus to Yale, and
everything in between, if we don’t have it, we’ll try to get it. We
carry an extensive line of automotive and motorcycle keys--both foreign
and domestic, boat keys, tractor keys, safe keys, safe deposit keys and
alarm keys. Our incredible stock of RV keys, including FIC, Trimark, and
South-Co, amazes even the RV dealers! We even stock RV master keys
(dealers only!). We do have the capability of cutting laser cut keys
(also referred to as side-winder or milled keys, including older
Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Infinity, Saab, Lexus, Toyota, VW and Audi), and
we also copy most Ace type alarm keys. We can even copy some of the
newest transponder and electronic keys.
Hardware
We know door hardware, and we know how to install it. We can explain
the difference between “good, better, and best” when it comes to
leversets, deadbolts, panic bars, and door closers. Although our
experience tells us that heavy duty, name brand hardware is generally
preferential, we’ll give you the option of choosing a more economical
route when securing your premises.
Installations
Whether you purchase hardware from us, or from another source, we’ve
got over 30 years of installation experience. Deadbolts, knobs and
levers, panic hardware, door closers, peep holes...you can be sure that
your locks will be installed with expert care and precision. We even
carry our own vacuum, and clean up when we’re finished!
Repairs
 Our
knowledge of locks might save you a fortune! Hardware on public
entrances takes a real beating, and for public safety, commercial door
levers and panic hardware must work properly. It’s not uncommon that a
missing $12 part keeps a $1200 panic bar from functioning correctly. We
often spot these problems immediately. Other existing conditions or
problems (like the settling of an entire building by ½”), might take a
little more sleuthing. We always like a good challenge!
We also specialize in repairing and replacing the locks in older cars
and trucks, and can usually make new locks fit your existing keys. If
your existing keys are worn out, we can make new, factory fresh keys
right from the lock. We stock the older GM “in dash” ignitions (all four
configurations), as well as ignitions, door locks, and trunk locks for
many GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and Nissan products.
Master-Keying
This is an art that Mike has, well, mastered, and with the newest
computer print-outs that give us up to 64,000 different key combinations
for your business complex, your options for key control and flexibility
are vast. From two doors to 2000 doors, from restricted keyblanks (which
the hardware stores can’t get), to great-great grand mastering, your
days of carrying a frustrating ring of keys are over. We can even supply
you with a key cabinet, ID tags, and charts for key dispersals. You’ll
be able to keep accurate records telling which keys go to which
personnel, and exactly how many key copies have been made. Key control,
once and for all!
Senior Discounts
Yes, we give them, 5% off the entire bill, which isn’t much, but
these days it can’t hurt! If you’re willing to say you’re a senior, then
you’re probably old enough for the discount! What’s even more important
is that we take extra care with our senior customers. Mike makes sure
that old fashioned value and integrity go a long way at Lively Locks &
Dead Bolts. We recommend locks and hardware that we would install for
our own families.
