#HoustonLocksmith , Master Locksmith Company, was recently called by a Houston Locksmith client who needed her #BaldwinLock repaired. Upon arriving #MasterLocksmithCompanies Mike Wilson found a Baldwin lock which the customers husband had ordered and could not install. Well, it would not install because it was the wrong size.  Here is a view of the door. The actual lock is a box that slips into the door edge.

 Here are the two lock bodies side by side in my van. The lock on the left is the smaller old lock while the right one is the larger new lock. The new lock would not fit into the door with the old trim without significant modifications which would not be covered by the lock trim so the only recourse was to reorder another lock or rebuild the old one. The customer was pressed for time so #MasterLocksmith decided to rebuild the old lock using parts from the new one. Please do not try this at home!! Mike Wilson has years of experience with these locks and knows how to work on them. It would not be hard to turn this into a pile of useless parts! Using years of experience, Mike was able to disassembe both locks and choose which parts were needed to make the old lock function again. It had broken because "someone" cough, cough, had tried to repair it and had actually broken it more than it was. Oh well, stuff happens. 

Ball bearings, springs, sharp stuff...There are alot of pieces in there!

All's well that ends well. Another happy customer. #MasterLocksmithCompany always completes the mission with customer satisfaction! If you need a #locksmithInHouston , call the best. Call Master Locksmith Company.

PLEASE don't let this happen to you! 

This cutomer was locked out of his home due to the failure of this poor quality lock. These locks are made of die cast materials, hollow body shells, and thin skinned faces. They provide little to no security and can break suddenly at any moment.

We got the door opened and installed a commercial grade deadbolt.

These Professional Locksmith Service deadbolts are made with heavy brass and solid die parts. No hollow shells or cheap cylinders. The bolts are 1 inch throw solid brass with an anti saw pin built in. We install them with the heavy duty strike which is supplied. This may sound like a "no brainer" but some unqualified locksmiths will throw them out. We install them AND  add some of our own 3" screws to securely mount it to the 2x4 stud in the frame of the door. Master Locksmith Company gives a LIFETIME WARRANTY on these locks! (excluding trip charge and labor) That is unheard of! We at Master Locksmith Company believe in what we sell and back up what we do! Call us anytime!

When opening your store and opening the door do you have to pull on the door really hard to open it? Remember that loud scraping sound? These conditions are caused by the hinges, or pivots, wearing down. This can be a very dangerous condition for a door. If left to continue the door can actually fall on an unsuspecting customer!

These photos show a set of commercial door pivots in the early stages of deterioration. What will quickly happen is the pivot in photo three will break in two and the door will fall. This can cause more damage to the commercial door and could also hurt someone badly. This opens the issue of negligence and litigation. Again, the costs of doing nothing outweigh the costs of fixing commercial door hardware. This has always been the philosophy of Mike Wilson and Master Locksmith Company. Fix now or pay later.

As you can see, repairing commercial door pivots is no small task for a Houston Locksmith. If you are a Houston Locksmith customer, please choose carefully! Master Locksmith Company has nearly 30 years of commercial locksmith experience, is licensed by the state of Texas, and maintains commercial insurance. A quick search on the web for a Houston Locksmith returns MANY unlicensed and uninsured  "Houston Locksmith" companies! None of these types of locksmith companies provide a good ROE. Return on envestment applies to all aspects of a business, including CODB, costs of doing business, which includes building and site maintenance, and security. 

As can be seen in these photos, the commercial door pivots here are broken and badly deteriorated. I have seen worse but these are bad enough to cause the door to fall at any moment. After installing the new pivots on the commercial door and the counter parts onto and inside the commercial door frame, Master Locksmith reinstalled the door. And forgot to take photos of the rehung door! Opps! Anyway, the door opened and closed perfectly  without scraping on the frame or the threshold. Just like new! This should be the goal of every Houston locksmith! If you are in need of a really good commercial locksmith anywhere in Houston or locksmith in 77063,77057 locksmith, locksmith 77056, 77027 locksmith, 77036 locksmith, 77074 locksmith, locksmith 77081, locksmith 77401, or 77005 locksmith. 

Houston locksmith customers in 77030, 77025, 77096, 77071 are encouraged to call Master Locksmith Company for Houston's most professional commercial locksmith service. 713-878-2189

As a prominent commercial locksmith in the city of Houston, Master Locksmith Company's Mike Wilson, stays very busy. We encounter all types of door and hardware problems in the Houston lockmith market. For example, at the Whole Earth Provisions store we found oil leaking from one of the door closers and the flush bolt on one door was broken, causing it to "fall" into the locked position. Both of these problems create hazards for store personel and customers! How many times have you entered a store and have had the door violently slam behind you or on you? To the credit of the management at Whole Earth, they did not want anyone hurt by these broken lock and hardware conditions.

Master Locksmith Company replaced the door closer with a high quality closer and then proceeded to remove the door in order to replace the broken flush bolt.

   This is a picture of the bolt in it's locked position. This was causing people to run into the door and hurt themselves. Really, they would often hit their heads very hard! It is also a hazard in an emergency. These doors must be unlocked to allow people to exit in the event of an emergency. 

 This 3rd picture shows the old bolt next to the new commercial grade flush bolt that we installed in it's stead. The old bolt is a residential grade bolt. One that would be found on a door at a home and not designed to be used everyday.  Houston's locksmith, Master Locksmith Company, only uses high quality components. Houston locksmith customers do not want something that is going to break! 

I often have discussions with home and business owners regarding the merits of buying high quality versus Home Depot quality locks and hardware. More often than not, most agree that it is worth the higher cost for locksmith quality hardware and service. Cheap throw-away hardware is just that: throw away junk. Junk which endangers the integrity and safety of a home or commercial facility. Master Locksmith Company believes that cheap is never good and good is never cheap. Don't be that person who believes otherwise. Nothing good comes out of a cheap job. Something is always sacrificed. Quality components or skilled craftsmanship. If you want both of these for your Houston Locksmith job requirements, call Master Locksmith Company. We service all of locksmith in 77005, locksmith 77401, locksmith 77025, locksmith 77054, and locksmith 77030.

I often tell my 77401 locksmith customers of the danger of using poor quality or low grade locks on their homes and businesses. Most locks being used in the 77401 locksmith market can be easily picked or drilled by amatuers or professionals. Some 77401 locksmith customers think that I am exaggerating! Here is a picture of a lock that was drilled by a thief in 77401. This is a real customer of Master Locksmith Company located in 77401. The thief drilled the lock and stole 3 laptop computers. This in spite of the alarm sounding. 

 You can see that whoever did this knew what they were doing. Locksmith customers in 77401 can protect against this type of attach by having Master Locksmith Company, serving 77401 lockmith customers, install Mul-T-Lock cylinders. These cylinders are pick proof and drill resistant. Master Locksmith Company always installs these cylinders with a hardened collar for further protection.

 Furthermore, these keys cannot be duplicated without proper ID and authorization.  Master Locksmith Company says "Don't let this happen to you!" If you need Houston locksmith service or 77401 locksmith service, call the professionals at Master Locksmith Company. We also serve the West U area, call West U Master Locksmith for prompt service in 77005.

Ever wonder how a Houston Locksmith spends his day. Well this Houston locksmith goes about saving people and businesses from catastrophe! Here is one such example.  Houston's locksmith, Master Locksmith Company received a call last week from a prominent restaurant needing to access their dumbwaiter elevator motor. This door

 needed to be opened in order to gain access to these components. This lock

 had no key! It was imperative that Houston Locksmith, Master Locksmith Company, open this door as soon as possible. The elevator technician surmised that the cable had come unwound and that the elevator was now hanging precariously. I needed to open this cabinet and fit the lock cylinder to the managers key. Opon opening the door we saw that the elevator tech was correct. The elevator was in danger of falling!

 Master Locksmith Company quickly opened the locked door and fit it to the managers key. His tools were a bit more effecient than those of the restaurant manager.

 Here is the finished product. No big deal? It would have cost Thousands of dollars had this elevator fallen. Master Locksmith's quick response saved the day! Call Houston's most trusted locksmith, Master Locksmith Company!

The problem of the $19.00 locksmith never seems to go away. The Houston locksmith market is awash with UNLICENSED companies advertising $19.00 service charge! These companies sole intent is to get into your home and rip you off. They employ tactics such as bait and switch and fine print price increases. That means the price increase is in the fine print which you failed to read. After nearly 30 years in the Houston and Atlanta locksmith business, I can assure you that no legitimate company charges $19.00 for a service charge. It is simple business math. You cannot run a service vehicle on this type of fee. The final price charged by these companies is always much more than the locksmith customer would have paid a legitimate company who charges a normal service rate plus labor and parts. Here is one example of a company advertising $19.00. Note also that there is no Texas Department of Public Safety License #. Use unlicensed companies at your own peril! You have been warned. Don't say noone told you. There are several Houston locksmith companies which are licensed by the state of Texas and can provide Houston locksmith customers with safe and quality service. Use them! The TDPS license is their way of insuring  that their company has met the stardards of integrity as set by the state. The  state of Texas conducts finger print checks and background checks for your safety!  Any company advertising Houston locksmith services is required by law to display this number in their internet ad. Look for it! Master Locksmith Company Inc. has it! Feel free to call us for all your Houston locksmith needs! 713 878 2189 Master Locksmith  Company Inc is a Texas licensed locksmith!
