How To Take A Picture Of A Key | Mr Locksmith Video

Sending a locksmith the picture of a key can help us identify the key or lock.

This may seem like a silly video, but it's actually very important.

1) Take an in-focus picture of the key.
2) Take a picture of both sides of the key.
3) Remove any tape or obstruction covering the head of the key.
3) If possible a picture of the end of the key.
4) In-focus pictures of the key.

A lot of times customers say "I need my locks rekeyed." or "Do you have this key?" and then they try to describe it to me. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't, sometimes there's no information that you can see, but I can see. So, a lot of times we ask our customers "Take a picture, take an in-focus picture of the key." So we ask our customers, email or just text me, a picture of your key. So this is how to take a picture of your key so I can see what you have. You gotta take both sides of the key. So take a picture there, so I can see what the make is, I can look at some of the grooves and then turn the key over and take a picture again, and then I can see from the other side I know it's a Schlage, and on this I can see it's a C123. So I can tell you "Yes I have that key." So whatever key you have, whether it's a car key, or house key, motorcycle, whatever, in focus, both sides of the key, then you can email it to me or a locksmith and we can tell you if we have that key.

Sometimes we've had people on fishing expeditions up north, they've taken their keys with them they're in the middle up north, in the middle of nowhere, the wife is locked out, they have the key, and this one, we can actually see this one has a code, so we now know we can cut that by code and we can get that person in the house really quick and easy.

In conclusion, silly as it sounds how to take a picture of a key, in focus, both sides of the key, text or email, then we can tell you what you have.
