Do I need new locks if keys made at a home improvement store don't work properly?+
Columbus Security No, keys likely need to be cut by a properly adjusted key machine operated by a trained technician, as poorly adjusted machines or untrained clerks can produce inaccurate keys.
Columbus Security Should I rekey the locks when moving into a new home?+
Columbus Security is recommended to change the locks and give keys only to trusted individuals to ensure security, as previous owners or others may still have access.
Why do I have to wiggle my keys in the lock to make it work?+
Columbus Security Locks wear over time causing pins to degrade, and keys copied multiple times can cause sticking, requiring wiggling to operate the lock properly.
Why does Columbus Security recommend locks that seem expensive?+
Columbus Security The company has found through experience that higher quality locks provide better security and durability, justifying the cost.
I went in to buy a new key to replace my truck key. The only button that still worked was the unlock button. In 15 minutes they had my old broken key repaired to full function for less than $20. I ended up buying another so I’d have a spare. It was ordered and programmed for me a few days later for much less than I anticipated it would cost. Highly recommend!

Be warned ahead of time you are not going to understand what is going on here. These folks do business the old fashioned way. The decent, correct, respectful, prompt, fair, courteous way. The way business used to be in America. They know exactly what they are doing and do not try and rob you as they do it. I have had work done by them a few times now and its always the same. Fit me in and helped me with a broken lock at three minutes till closing the other day. Who else does things like that. I will not use another shop.

The negative reviews seem very thrown off to me. I have had to use Columbus Security for car keys several times, and they always got the job done. These folks have been doing this for a long time and are fair. It reminds me of doing business in the 1980's, when word of mouth and honest dealing grew businesses.
