What this visit usually covers

A key that turns halfway and stops is often the cylinder or a misaligned strike, not a new door.
A lockout needs proof you may enter. Bring identification and a lease or closing paper if you have it.
Rekeying after lost keys is the cylinder, not automatically a new door and frame.
A building entrance, a mailbox, or an intercom may be the super’s lock. Say which lock is yours.
