Apartment unit doors in Shorewood
In an apartment building, the building controls the street door and any buzzer or fob system, and the landlord usually controls the unit locks. A locksmith can open your unit door for you with proof you live there. Changing the lock is normally the landlord's decision, so check the lease, and call management first if they offer an after-hours key.
Period hardware in Whitefish Bay
Many Whitefish Bay houses still have original solid doors with mortise locks or early deadbolts, and owners tend to want to keep them. Those locks can usually be repaired or rekeyed rather than replaced, and a careful company will say so.
If a lock has worn to the point where the key sticks, that is the time to call, before it fails with you on the wrong side of the door.
Car lockouts near the lake
Atwater Beach and Big Bay Park bring summer visitors and lost keys. In winter the wind off the lake makes a curbside wait colder than the thermometer says. Call from somewhere warm, give the cross street, and ask for the total price first.
