A and Z Locksmith

10/07/2026

Electronics locks don't have bad days , but safe owners do when they ignore the lock issues.

Common problems:
- It takes awhile to get into it.
- It Chews through batteries (*also please use energizer or duracell only in your keypads*)
- The keypad doesn't always beep.
- It sounds odd.
- It goes into lock out mode sometimes when i enter the correct combination.

If your safe lock does any of these things please lock it OPEN and give us a call.

This customer decided to eliminate a future problem with an aging lockset.

Working on
Dor-O-Matic concealed vertical rod.
Just a little cast gear doing a-lot of heavy lifting in some of these devices. Lubrication and do***ng down your panic bar can be a real saver on regular wear and tear.

I know, no one ever gets to see them after the hardware is installed, but we do try to always make drill holes as clean as possible. It's rewarding when everything slides together on the door you just drilled like it's supposed to.

(It's the simple things that make me smile)

This door was recently hung by their contractor. Door came prepped with 2 1/8" and latch hole only.
