Home Locksmith Questions

6. What should I do if I am locked out of my house

Call Hi Five Auto Locksmith. Do not force the door. Forcing it can damage the frame, which costs way more than a lockout service.

7. Can you re key my entire home

Yes. Re keying is common in Richardson TX, especially after moving. You keep your hardware, we reset everything to new keys.

8. Should I change locks on house or just re key

If the locks are in good shape, re keying is usually enough. If they are old, sticking, or loose, new lock installation is smarter.

9. Why does my deadbolt lock stick when it gets hot or cold

Weather shifts affect doors in Texas. Sometimes the alignment shifts a little. We adjust or replace parts to fix it.

10. Can Hi Five Auto Locksmith install smart locks like Google Smart Lock

Yes. We install them, set them up, and show you how to avoid common issues like low batteries or app lockouts.

Auto Locksmith Questions

12. What is a key fob and why does it fail

A key fob is the remote that unlocks or starts your car. They fail when the battery dies or the chip gets damaged.
