Vintage GM Car Keys
Vintage GM Car Keys
Up until 1986, the GM industry was using one sided cut keys, similar to a regular house key, but with a different keyway for their vehicles: one key for the door and another for the ignition, and they didn't have a transponder chip in them but rather a simple metal key with no plastic covering.
Eventually, VATS (Vehicle Anti-theft System) keys were introduced as the first electronic keys. These keys have resisters embedded inside so that when someone inserts they key into the car's ignition, an electric current travels through the resister inside and a value is read by a computer inside of the car--if the value does't match the computer's memory, the vehicle will not start..
Defense locksmith can help if you have lost your vintage car keys: maybe because you just haven't driven the car in a while, or just waiting for the summer to joy ride your vintage beauty and you forgot where you placed your keys.
Our technicians knows what to do, how to make you a new key mostly without disassembling the old ignition, which requires the steering wheel to be taken out.
Defense Locksmith will come to you... no need to tow your car anywhere, we will make the key right in front of you so you can drive your car with a set of new keys.

Exit Trim
Aluminum finish trim lever replacement for a commercial exit door.
This specific trim lever is a replacement for an original that was not functioning and the handle was broken, the replacement trim was modified and fitted to the door so the handle could be used to pull the door open, when turning the cylinder counter clock wise to unlock, and when it's locked the handle would not move.
In many situations defense locksmith would replace the trim, lock and or the door handle to the exact replica so adjustment won't be necessary, but because this specific trim was discontinued for reasons that unknown to us, some companies say it is because the old trim handles are not the best quality and break in a short period of time.

Key or key fob replacement for a German car

Why do you need a Commercial handle
Why do you need a Commercial handle
You may be wondering why you need a handle that size and not just a simple door knob.
Big offices and Hospitals mostly use commercial levers for their doors, storage closets, patient rooms and bathrooms. These high traffic spaces require more than just a standard house door knob. These commercial levers are made to last longer for busy areas, and are more durable than just a simple door knob, not to mention how easy is it to simply pull down the handle and enter the room, rather than using more force to turn a knob. So easy!
-----------------
Commercial levers come in various finished styles, shapes and colors with multiple uses. Whether it’s a simple closet that doesn't need a keyed cylinder, an office that doesn’t need a key, or a bathroom style lock,
Defense Locksmith will work with you to hand pick the commercial lever that best suits your commercial business.

Remote and push to start key fob
In 1995 Siemens company developed the first smart key and it was introduced to the world by Mercedes-Benz in 1998 when the W220 S-class first came out.
The push to start electric button in vehicle was already existed, when it was introduced by Cadillac in 1912, but did not have a smart key, just by simply pushing a button the car would start.
This patent made things easy for anyone who wanted to drive a car.
Since then, many car companies have been using the the method of a push to start, but in order to do so a proximity key would be necessary to have inside the vehicle to start.
Defense Locksmith can help you with the unfortunate event of losing your key, by erasing the old ones and programming a new key fob, in case there was a theft and someone got a hold of your keys.
There’s no need to go to tow the car to the dealer. Save yourself some time and call us and we can come to you.
Three point locking mechanism
Three point locking mechanism
A three point lock can usually be found on the back door of a store, a house or on the emergency exit of a large building.
You must be wondering what is a Three Point Lock? A three point lock, also called a multi-lock is a lock that secures the door at the top, middle and bottom sections making it more secure than a single lock door.
Because the TPL mechanism is more complex than other locks, not all locksmiths have the experience, and therefore are unable to provide this service. Here at Defense Locksmith we specialize in Three Point Locks, whether you need a new one installed, want to replace an old one, or simply repair your current three point lock.
Look no further, don’t call your door manufacturer, they can help you with the parts but probably will tell you to call a locksmith. We are experienced with TPL doors.
Call us now or leave us a detailed email and let us get it fixed for you.
Broken key
Broken key
“Oh no! The key broke in my lock. How am I going to get it out? Do I need a new lock?”
This is an unfortunate situation, but Defense Locksmith can help and we may be able to save the lock or your ignition cylinder.
Keys are everything! They open doors, they keep doors locked and secured. They also start your vehicle so you can get from point A to point B. When they break you are stuck and unable to do any of these things.
It could happen for one of several reasons:
- The key is simply worn out or was used too many times.
- The lock jammed and you put too much force into it.
- The cuts of the key are too deep that there's not enough strength for the key to withstand the pressure.
We have seen many broken keys from a house lock to an ignition cylinder.
With special extracting tools, cameras and cylinder scopes, we will extract the broken key or jammed piece that's standing in the way of opening the lock.
Old residential mortise lock
Still fixable, we can determine by a quick look
Old residential mortise lock
Still fixable, we can determine by a quick look
You are probably wondering why we uploaded this image; its not a good looking lock and looks like it is a broken one.
Well, it is an old lock and probably still works, if the right locksmith is on the job. As long as the locking mechanism is still in a good condition then it is just a matter of replacing the key cylinder or just a re-key.
In-case the locking mechanism isn’t working properly and missing screws, the latch or dead latch isn’t working, then replacing it is doable but an extra work.
This old lock is on a really old door and locksmith’s would come and make new holes in the door and install new type of locks. As a locksmith company that appreciates old doors and wouldn’t want to see a nice door being drilled in, we would recommend to get a similar mortise lock combo.
There is a big selection of mortise lock options to choose from, we are here to help you find the right one for your door, whether you like it to be a decorative handle and lock plates (as you can see in the picture) or just a simple chrome, stainless steel, brass or other finished color.
Let us be the locksmith company you trust with your door and advise you on what is the best way to care for your door, after all the front door and the lock is the first thing you see when you walk into your house, and you want to be the best looking and long lasting as it could be.

Universal proximity key fob
Vehicle remote replacement
Universal proximity key fob
Vehicle remote replacement
Universal remote is the best temporary solution or even a long term solution if you have lost your key fob.
Universal key fob can also be used as a transmitter, like your old key fob.
If you have a push to start in your vehicle, we will program the universal remote to make it work with your vehicles transmitter.
It will lock and unlock you car doors and even your trunk if your old fob was able to do so.
The only downside about the universal remote key fob is that it will not be able to remote start your vehicle.
That is why we recommend, that if you had a remote start button on your old key fob you should just get a replacement that can remote start your car.
However, if we do not stock the remote and need to order, then making you a universal key fob would be the temporary solution.
The way this key fob works is via computer transmitter device when the remote is placed inside the slot, choosing the vehicle you want it to work with and it generate the coding.
When finished generating the code, the remote is ready to be programed to your car by a computer that’s connected to your vehicle via OBD connection.
If you are in need of a new key fob because it's lost, stolen or damaged and you don’t want to spend too much money on a new OEM key fob, give us a call.
Our technician will arrive at your place and will set you up quickly .
