Every visit follows the same pattern, whether it's a rekey at noon or a lockout on a game night.
Wherever the lock is, the technician drives to it: Murfreesboro, Nashville, Franklin, Hendersonville, Smyrna, Brentwood, Hermitage, Spring Hill, La Vergne, Gallatin, Mount Juliet, Lebanon, Shelbyville, Tullahoma, Goodlettsville, McMinnville, Lewisburg, Manchester, Christiana, Nolensville, Green Hill, Forest Hills, Oak Hill, Smithville, Thompson's Station, Belle Meade and Woodbury.
New subdivisions keep going up on the edges of town, and most of those houses still run on the locks the builder put in. Apartments near the university turn over every semester. Both usually wrap up in a single visit.
Typical visits, told without names or addresses. If one matches your situation, the number up top is ours.

Friday morning · done in one visit
A rental near campus changing tenants between semesters, with keys handed around by the last group.
Every lock rekeyed, and the front and back doors set to the same new key for the incoming tenants.
Tuesday night · one stop
Half a key stuck in a front door lock at breakfast time, with the morning commute waiting.
The broken half came out, the door opened, and the owner left for work with a pair of new keys.

What people usually want settled before a technician drives over.
For almost every make, yes. The car is opened, a new key is cut, and it's paired to the car's system right there. Bring your ID and the registration.
It's worth a look. There's no telling how many keys went around during construction and the sale. A rekey makes the old keys useless, and a sturdier deadbolt can go on at the same visit.
Most of the time. A rekey leaves the hardware in place and retires every old key, which is exactly what a move-in needs. Replacement makes sense when a lock is worn out or too flimsy for the door.
Yes. A lockout needs proof you live there, like a lease. Changing locks on a rental may need the landlord's okay, so check the lease first.
Yes. Storefronts, clinic doors, office suites and warehouse entries get the same care as a house: hardware checked, keys cut, exit doors made to latch.
The lock usually survives. The technician pulls the broken piece and cuts a new key at the door. Until then, leave it alone; pushing on it can jam it further.
Use the wait well and the job stays small.
If it's late or raining, wait in a lit, busy place rather than a dark doorway. The technician calls when close.
Improvised tools and sprays usually turn a simple opening into a lock replacement. If a key broke, leave the rest in place.
Your license and a lease or registration are what the technician checks; having them ready keeps things moving.
