Keep the door in the conversation
Park Slope's historic row houses are one reason to look carefully at existing hardware. An older entrance may have a lock fitted into the edge of the door, with handles and trim you would prefer to keep.
A sticking latch doesn't tell you which part needs replacing. Note whether it catches with the door open or only when it closes against the frame. That difference helps when discussing a repair, a replacement lock or a problem with the fit.
A new home, an uncertain set of keys
Getting two keys on moving day doesn't tell you how many copies are elsewhere. Rekeying a suitable lock changes the key that operates it while allowing sound hardware to stay.
Include the entrance you actually use. A garden-level door and the door at the top of the stoop may have separate locks. In a shared building, establish which doors you can arrange work on and which need the owner's or manager's involvement.
Home lock repairs and rekeyingCar keys: a spare or a fresh start?
A spare made while you still have a working key can be a different job from replacing every missing key. The year, make and model matter too.
If you've already bought a blank or fob, check compatibility before arranging cutting or programming. A matching-looking case is not enough. Keep the part details so we can discuss the work your vehicle needs.

Can I keep my existing handles?
Possibly. It depends on the fault, the condition of the hardware and compatible replacement parts. Say what you want to preserve before choosing a new lock.
