It's been raining real hard today which makes people do things like forget their keys inside the car after a quick trip to get some food. We got a call to go out to Mesa and unlock a Toyota FJ Cruiser in the driveway of the clients house. It had just eased up from the morning down pour but was still sprinkling a little bit while we were helping them out. It only took a few minutes time to get into the car, we just hope their food was still hot.
Don't hesitate to call Andrews Lock and Key 24 hours a day rain or shine we will be at your service for any of your lock and key needs.

It's that time of year again, the weather is getting nice and the bikes are starting to hit the road more and more. First off we would like to do our part in always remembering to check twice before you make a lane change or turn to make sure there are no motorcycles in your blind spots. Now that's out of the way, we can get down to the fun stuff. Andrews Lock and Key can make keys for any bike and we have been busy over the past week working on several. We make sure to get every job down with the best quality work possibly lubricating gas tank springs. ignition switches, and seat locks so they turn like when you first bought the bike. Check out some of the work we have done on a custom chopper and a Kawasaki Ninja 650.

We got a call to install a new ignition switch and trunk lock on a 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo in Chandler. The client had just bought the car from an auto auction and was in the process of rebuilding the car. These older cars have spring loaded steering that require some specialty tools in order to remove the ignition switch and install the new one. Within minutes the new ignition switch was install and the car started without a problem. Then we installed the trunk lock and were on our way.
