Now that spring is on the horizon, it’s time to dust off the old bicycle. Whether it’s for fun or function, a bike is a great way to get from one place to the other.
But one aspect of bicycling that is crucial, beyond obeying the traffic laws and wearing a helmet, is to keep that bike safely locked up when it isn’t in use at all times, even if it is in the supposed safety of your porch or backyard.
But when it comes to choosing a bike lock, what do you do? From U locks to chains, there is quite a selection. You first want to think about the pros and cons. A U lock is more compact, fits through a number of bike parts, and is fairly portable. A chain on the other hand is stronger but it can also be much heavier. It’s up to you, so think about which you’d prefer.
While cable locks are also an option with their flexibility and light weight use, many brands can easily be cut through, so choose this variety with caution. We personally don’t recommend these for that specific reason.
Also be wary of worn and rusted locks. A once reliable piece can be broke quite easily with a skilled thief, so clean your U locks or chains on the regular with the manufacturer’s recommended products and methods to prevent long term and permanent damage.
But what do you do if you lost your key or the key no longer works? That’s easy, call us! Whether you just can’t find your key or the internal mechanisms are gunked up from being exposed to the elements, we’re here to give you a hand if you’re having any problems.
For anyone who is getting a little up there in age, remembering things can sometimes become an issue. Whether it’s your child’s doctors appointment or where you put your keys, you can easily start forgetting things even at a young age.

Hey, as far as video games go, locksmithing may not be at the top of the professions that would normally have a game created around it. Sure, the act of picking locks is seen in so many games now that it’s become ubiquitous, which is always fun for us, but the hope of ever having a game ONLY about locksmithing is probably a pipe dream at this point. 
Back in the day (ten years or so or more) getting a new key for your car wasn’t that big of a deal. Sure, it wasn’t much fun and you still had to contact your car dealer, but at least it wasn’t prohibitively expensive and wasn’t a huge pain in the rear end.
