When the customer brought in this silver cream pitcher, the scalloped spout had fallen completely off. A little silver soldering and this tiny piece was back in action! - #minneapolislockandkey #neighborhoodlocksmith #soldering #creampitcher #silversoldering

We were called out to fix the work of another locksmith who tried to gain access to a customer's house. They left the customer with a hole in their door and no guidance for how to make the door secure. We were able to plug the old holes and install a new deadbolt

We repaired a lock for this customer before by patching it with a brass plate and fitting a key. He later told us that he has 2 other identical locks that he wanted to use the same key. We used the tumblers from the original lock as patterns to fabricate new tumblers and springs.

Sometimes you just need to take a closer look. A customer brought in this vintage microscope case because they needed a key. This isn't the first one of these that we've seen, but it is one of the nicer ones with felt-lined drawers that hold different lenses and accessories.

We came across a unique 1960s era jimmy proof entrance lock that we had to fix a broken spring and some alignment issues to get it back in working order. Fun fact: The first jimmy proof lock was invented in 1916 and is still considered an effective way to secure a door today!

This carved chest was brought in to have a key fit. The customer had it made in Africa but had lost the key and the trunk was locked. He didn't tell us the country where it was made, but we think it must have been a former French colony because the lock was made in France

Turns out Versace makes piggy banks! After going to other lock shops and getting puzzled looks, this customer happily walked out with a precut key we had hanging up and ready to go. - #minneapolislockandkey #versace #versacepiggybank #piggybank #keys #locksmith

This customer had been searching for someone to fix their imported French antique locking hardware for years. We were able to drill out the stripped brass in the handles and install custom threaded steel inserts, allowing the hardware to remain in the home for years to come.

Thank you to all of our customer who share their experiences with us - we love seeing what you have to say! - #minneapolislockandkey #locallocksmith #locksmith #antiqehardware #antiques #keys #neighborhoodbusiness #minneapolisbusiness #minneapolislocksmith #reviews

An antiques dealer was getting ready for an estate sale and had a drop-front desk he wanted us to open before the sale the following day. When we removed the lock, this was revealed inside! We later fit a 4 pin Corbin key for the lock. - #minneapolislockandkey #antiques

A customer brought in a trunk that has been in their family for over five generations. It was locked shut and when we got it open, we discovered the original key inside! - #minneapolislockandkey #LocalLocksmith #locksmith #trunk #antiquelock #antiques

A customer brought us this lock from the front door of a historic home, once all was said and done, we were able to successfully find a way to make this lock work while coming under the customer's budget for the project.

Check out this old key cutting machine we received from a fellow locksmith! We roughly estimate it to be from the 1930s, and with some care and cleaning, it was cutting keys as well as the day it was made. - #minneapolislockandkey #locksmith #keycuttingmachine #oldkeymachine

This electric strike has a patent date from 1894 and was still in service. It stopped working recently, so they brought it in for repair. We found that it just needed a new spring and some new wires, and it was back to functioning. Don't let anyone ever tell you you're too old!

A customer from New York sent us this unique antique lock for a sliding pocket door. Since the lock is for a sliding door, rather than a door on hinges, the deadbolt splits open to grab the strike plate when it is extended. #minneapolislockandkey #pocketdoorhardware #antiquelock

This exterior garage door was experiencing multiple break-in attempts. We concluded with the customer that installing a full-length latch guard would be the best solution to prevent further break-ins. As a result, all the catalytic converters behind this door are now safe.
