How Oak Park calls usually go

Oak Park is farther east than most of our area, so we give an honest ETA on every call. Many homes here are older and have original doors, so we measure before we change anything. A new deadbolt sometimes needs a different backset, and we would rather tell you that than force a part into an old door. Apartment buildings near Lake Street and the Green Line need turnover rekeys, and storefronts on Oak Park Ave and Harrison St call about cylinders and closers after hours.

Where we can, we rekey the existing lock and keep your hardware. That is usually cheaper, and on older doors it protects the finish.

Before you call

• Tell us the cross street (for example Lake & Oak Park Ave).
• Mention condo or HOA rules if your building has them.
• For cars near CTA stations, share year, make, and model.

Lake Street, the Wright district, and the CTA lines

Oak Park is the farthest east of our regular towns, and its calls come from a few well-known places. Unity Temple is at 875 Lake Street, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio is at 951 Chicago Avenue. The blocks around them are full of older homes with original doors, so we measure backset and door thickness before suggesting new hardware, and we rekey the existing lock when it is worth keeping.

Oak Park and River Forest High School on Scoville Avenue is a common meeting point for car lockouts in the evenings. Downtown along Lake Street and Marion Street, the Metra Union Pacific West stop and the CTA Green Line stations at Harlem/Lake, Oak Park Avenue, and Ridgeland bring commuter lockouts. The Blue Line runs along I-290 on the south side of the village with stations at Harlem, Oak Park Avenue, and Austin. Tell us which station lot or side street you are on.

Two-flats and vintage apartments

Many Oak Park buildings are courtyard apartments and two-flats with a shared front door, a back stair door, and a unit door. For turnover we rekey the unit door and, with the owner's authorization, the common doors, and we label every key. For a tenant lockout we need ID showing the address or a lease before we open a unit.

Route from Elmhurst

From 100 N Addison Ave Unit 2 we take North Avenue east or I-290 to Harlem Avenue, depending on traffic. Harlem and Lake Street back up at rush hour, so a cross-street like Oak Park Avenue and Lake helps us choose. Call (630) 349-7037 for a live window.
