ATL: How much to unlock a toolbox?
Ask The Locksmith Question:
I'd like to know how much it would be to unlock a toolbox, and also the price of creating a key for that lock, if possible.
Hi there...
It's not possible to quote you accurately without knowing more information than that. Just for your own knowledge in shopping locksmiths, if you just ask in generalities, very many companies will, more often than not, quote VERY high, just to cover all their possibilities. We don't do business this way. We believe it does you a disservice to quote high "just in case", when, if we had a little more info, it may be a less expensive lock to open... Something easily picked rather than drilled, etc.
We'd be happy to quote you if you can tell us what kind of toolbox, the manufacturer, what its application is (i.e. truck bed, shop, welder, high security, etc. There are a million possibilities.), then we would know what kind of lock is used in it, and what kind of key blank is used. They are generally not interchangeable.
Please give a yell if you can provide this info, we're happy to help!
Cheers!

ATL: Do you make mailbox keys?
Ask The Locksmith Question:
I have misplaced all keys to the mailbox for my condo. Is this a service that you provide, and if so, how much do you charge for this?
We have a standard service call charge of $45.00, and to make keys is a flat rate of $22.50 for 2 new keys. In order to make keys for you, by California state law, we need to prove your residency in the condo unit. This should be with a Drivers License or State I.D., or Military Picture I.D. with your name, and the condo address on it. Alternatively, if your Drivers license does NOT have the condo address on it, we will accept the I.D. along with your original mortgage/lease paperwork.
Let us know if we can help...
