Vincent Locksmith Singapore

We were interviewed by CNA last year, about digital locks. It's been quite a while, but we've decided to bring this back, seeing how digital locks are a popular query from our clients.

We agree that they're useful for people who lose their keys so frequently that mechanical locks don't make economical sense.

Or - for landlords who rent their properties out frequently, which make key management a hassle.

What we're concerned about is how these digital locks present issues for customers, long after the sales has been completed, particularly for those who switch back to mechanical locks.

🚨Most of these locks are of proprietary sizing, so if you want to change them back to a mechanical key lock next time, you may have issues doing so.

🚨 These locks - along with their apps - are also only supported for a limited period of time. What this means is that you may have to change to another digital lock model if yours is no longer supported.

Many thanks again to Natasha Ganesan for the interview, and for the detailed writeup! 🙏

Our client from Woodleigh engaged us for their main gate cylinder lock replacement, as they lost their keys.

As the handles and lock body were still working well, they could just change the cylinder lock key part.

They eventually opted for Yale brand, and we promptly replaced the lock. We made sure that the gate could lock and unlock smoothly, before passing the keys to our client.

Other than main gate lock replacement, we also carry out emergency lockouts within our operating hours for HDB, private and commercial areas in Singapore.

We can also change locks for letterboxes, main doors, room doors and cabinets.

We also service nearby areas such as Potong Pasir, Serangoon and Hougang, along with locations such as Paya Lebar, Redhill, and Buona Vista.

Our client from Jalan Besar engaged us for a broken key removal, after she overturned the key in the wrong direction.

There was no superglue applied, and she had a spare key, so we successfully removed the broken piece.

In such cases, if superglue has been applied, there is no chance of removing. If the glue has been applied thickly and dries up, the lock also risks being damaged by the glue. No matter what those YouTube videos say, sticking back the other key half won't work - unless you want to change your lock! 😂

Besides broken key removal, we also carry out emergency lockouts within our operating hours for HDB, private and commercial areas in Singapore.

We also service nearby areas such as Geylang, Toa Payoh, Novena and Kallang, along with locations such as Commonwealth, Telok Blangah and Clementi.

Our client engaged us to change their gate lockset in Woodlands, due to its age and its broken handles.

We swiftly replaced the gate lockset, ensuring that the lockset worked smoothly before getting our client to try the keys. They were also given the options to either change only the handles, or to change the full lockset. They eventually opted to change everything, due to its age.

The most common causes of broken handles are because you’re using too much force on the handles, hanging heavy items such as food deliveries or groceries, or because your gate swings too widely - hitting the adjacent wall as a result.

Solutions? First of all - go easy on the handles when using them. 😂 Also, avoid hanging food deliveries and groceries on your handles. Use a dedicated hook instead, your gate handles will feel grateful to you.

For gates that swing out of control, put a potted plant or chair at the adjacent wall, so that your gate doesn’t hit the wall.

We can change other locks too, other than the ones for your gate. We can also handle locks for your main door, letterbox, windows and room doors!

We also provide emergency lockout services such as urgent door lock unlocking and replacement, within our operating hours. HDB, private offices and commercial areas within our service areas are welcome. 😊

We also service areas such as Yishun, Marsiling, Sembawang, Bukit Panjang, Jurong West, Alexandra and many more. 📍

Give us a call, or WhatsApp us at 8812 7499 and we can assist! 😊
