We get it. Locks and keys aren't exactly the stuff of dinner party conversations. But when something goes wrong, suddenly you've got questions. At Diamond Auto Locksmith, we've heard it all - from "how do I unlock my car with a hanger?" (don't) to "can you rekey my entire house today?" (yes). Below are real questions we hear every week, answered straight up by the folks who do this for a living.

Yes, when installed and set up properly. Most keyless locks offer user codes, audit trails, and auto-locking. Diamond Auto Locksmith installs and supports several secure keyless systems that blend safety and convenience.
