How to Lock A Door Without a Lock

There’s a thousand reasons why you could find yourself in the position where you might need to spend a night or two without a lock on your doors. Moving into a new office space or having to replace the locks, to name a few. It’s not an ideal situation though and as a locksmith in Miami FL, Quickly Locksmiths can offer commercial locksmith services to deal with these kinds of situations to ensure you maintain security, even through difficult times. While we can offer a variety of services, its important to remember that these temporary solutions are no replacement for a real, high quality lock!

  • Portable locks:

If you have a bike or have ever been camping, its likely you’ll already have a portable lock. If not, any reputable locksmith in Miami FL stock these kinds of items ready to go at cost effective prices. These types of locks offer a great temporary solution that are in fact often almost impossible to break – a big, high quality lock will usually need to be melted down to bypass!

At Quickly Locksmith, we offer commercial locksmith services around the clock and have a wealth of experience in a wide range of scenarios such as during early construction and the needs for securing these kinds of developments.

  • Lock the door from inside:

While this method obviously means you’ll need to either stay on the premises or have another way in and out, it may well be the best option. A good locksmith not only offers products and services, but also expert advice. At Quickly Locksmith, we can advise the best way to lock a door from the inside without using a lock, whether it’s a security bar or a strong door jam or wedge. Again, this isn’t a long-term solution, but it can offer some protection in a temporary situation where utmost security isn’t a priority. If a device such as these has been used, it’s important to make sure its effective – check to see it actually stops the door from being shaken open and is solid enough to do its job.

At any point if you’re in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask for our professional advise!

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services In Miami FL:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice.

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    When a Miami locksmith completes their official application process, they are issued with a Locksmith ID car. Locksmiths in Miami are required to display this card at all times when performing any services, regardless of the location.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you’re working with the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect someone to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This ensures we can get you back into your home or car as soon as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Your certified Miami locksmith’s work comes with a complete warranty for your locks, your property (doors/ hallways, etc.), and of course your well-being. If anything happens you share no liability, and your locks & security systems are 100% insured.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    A locksmith that has the right tools and years of experience can open almost any lock. If that’s not an option, the lock can always be replaced. Either way, your home and valuables will be safe and secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    When you are locked out of your car, the last thing you want to do is arrange a ride to a locksmith shop. The Quickly Locksmith Miami mobile unit will not only meet you at your location but also help you with a replacement car key on the spot.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key has been lost or is damaged, a Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to identify the depth of grooves in a lock’s key code. This information can then be used to create a new key.
