Q: Why is my lock not opening with the key?

• <div><p>First thing first: Make sure you&rsquo;re using the right key. If it&rsquo;s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you&rsquo;re still locked out, call in for help. </p></div>

Q: Why is my door handle turning but not opening?

• <div><p>If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it&rsquo;s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it&rsquo;s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly&mdash;or calling in a professional to do it for you.</p></div>

Q: What is the best lubricant for a door lock?

• <div><p>Locksmiths typically recommend using a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, instead of the popular oil-based lubricants you can purchase at almost any store. Dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating instead of attracting more dirt and debris like an oil-based lubricant. You can find these at a hardware store; some are made explicitly for lock use.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a smart lock on a sliding glass door?

• <div><p>Yes, with better technology now available, it&rsquo;s possible to add a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keyless-lock-good-regular-deadbolt.htm">smart lock</a> on your sliding glass door. Smart locks can be easy for almost everyone in the family to operate and can connect to other safety features in the home, like smart lights. Plus, they&rsquo;re harder for would-be criminals to pick. However, keep in mind that smart locks can potentially be hacked, and some completely rely on phones or Wi-Fi, which can be an issue if the power goes out.</p></div>

Q: How much does a commercial locksmith service cost?

• <div><p>Commercial locksmith services range from $75 to $500, depending on the job's complexity, such as key duplication, lock installation, or access control system setup.</p></div>
