Lock calls in East Side and Glenbrook
Glenbrook's streets are lined with older houses, many converted to two units, with enclosed porches and doors that have been painted over more than once. Paint-stuck latches, mortise locks with skeleton-key keyholes and deadbolts added later at odd heights are common. A locksmith can usually free or replace a mortise lock without cutting the door, but bring up any antique hardware you want to keep.
Commuters on the New Canaan branch park near the Glenbrook station and on side streets. A car lockout with the keys left on the seat before the morning train is a frequent call; so is a lost fob discovered after the evening train. Give the dispatcher the street or lot and the vehicle details, and keep your ID on you.
Small businesses on and around Hope Street and East Main Street bring their own work: back-door security, a deadbolt for a storage room, rekeying after an employee leaves. For landlords in the area, rekeying between tenants and adding a keyed lock to a shared basement are steady requests.

FAQ
Questions from East Side and Glenbrook
My porch door has a skeleton key. Is that secure?
Not very. Skeleton-key mortise locks open with widely sold blank keys. You can keep the old hardware for looks and add a modern deadbolt above it, or have a cylinder mortise lock fitted in the same pocket.
Can you work on a door that has been painted shut?
Usually yes. The locksmith frees the latch, cleans the paint from the strike and bolt, and adjusts the strike so the door closes properly. If the paint has sealed the hinges too, a little trimming may be needed.
Can my old mortise lock be saved?
Often, yes. Many can be cleaned, repaired or fitted with a new cylinder. If parts are no longer made, a modern mortise lock can fit the same pocket.
I lost my car fob after the evening train. Can you make one?
In most cases a new key or fob can be cut and programmed on site. Have proof of ownership and the vehicle details.
Do I need permission to rekey a shared basement?
If you are a tenant, ask the landlord first. Landlords can rekey shared spaces and give each tenant a copy.
