Highway 99 lockouts and lost keys
Selma is a common stop for people traveling Highway 99 between Fresno and Bakersfield. Gas stations and restaurants near the off-ramps see their share of locked cars, often with luggage and a long drive still ahead.
If you’re traveling and lock your keys in the car, tell us which exit you’re near and we’ll connect you with a licensed locksmith who serves Selma. The locksmith opens the car without damage and verifies ownership with your ID and registration. If the key is lost rather than locked inside, many locksmiths can cut and program a new one at the vehicle so you can keep going.
Traveling in summer, the heat on the Highway 99 corridor is intense. If a child or pet is locked inside the car, call 911 first, then call us.
Homes and rentals in Selma
Selma has a good share of rental homes and long-held family houses. When tenants change or a house passes to a new generation, nobody may know how many copies of the keys are out there. Rekeying is the simple fix, and a locksmith can key every exterior door to one key during the same visit.
For landlords with several properties, a locksmith can set up a master key so you carry one key while each tenant has their own.
- Rekeys between tenants
- Master keys for multiple rental units
- Deadbolt upgrades on older doors
- House lockouts with non-destructive entry
Businesses along the main roads
Shops, offices and packing and ag-related businesses in Selma rely on storefront locks, exit devices and padlocked gates. A commercial locksmith can repair and rekey that hardware and adjust closers so doors latch fully. When a door stops locking properly, call us and we’ll try to connect you with a locksmith who can come the same day.
If you manage a small business with several employees holding keys, a master key system with restricted keys keeps things organized. The owner carries one key, staff get only the doors they need, and copies can’t be made at a hardware store.
Older doors and family homes
Houses that have stayed in the same family for decades often have locks from several different eras on the same house: an original knob on the back door, a newer deadbolt on the front and a padlock on the side gate, each with its own key. Over the years, the key ring gets heavier and nobody remembers which key goes where.
A locksmith can bring those locks onto one key where the hardware allows, repair older locks that are still solid, and replace the ones that have worn out. On older wood doors, it’s worth asking them to check that the strike plate is anchored with long screws, since frames that have dried out over many valley summers tend to hold short screws poorly.
