THE WORK, EXPLAINED

Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.

Key extraction and restoring a faulty lock are separate parts of the assessment. Ask whether the broken blade can be removed without replacing the cylinder and how the cylinder will be checked afterward. Confirm whether a new key can be supplied and whether wear or another lock fault also needs attention.

What may be involved

  • extraction hooks and spirals
  • plug follower
  • cylinder service kit
  • fresh cut key

Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.

LOCAL RESEARCH / South of Market

Local context

The Western SoMa plan treats the district as a mixed-use environment while protecting historic and cultural resources, so service needs can span older commercial fabric and newer infill.
