Owner-trained on every major US safe brand and lock platform. Tell us the make and model on the phone — manufacturer schematic lookup cuts our on-site time by ~30%.
What happens when we arrive
A typical service call starts with phone intake — what brand, what model, where located, what symptoms. We dispatch from our East Side headquarters at 3650 S Eastern Ave, with average arrival of 20–35 minutes anywhere in the Vegas Valley. On-site we verify ownership (government-issued ID plus address documentation), inspect the lock or safe, identify make and model, and quote a flat rate in writing before any work begins. We perform the service, document the work, and walk through the result with the customer. Payment is due on completion; we accept cash, all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH for commercial accounts. A printed or emailed receipt is issued before we leave.
