"5/5 An actual locksmith (not a marketing service) who provided fantastic service and was extremely professional. I must have called 10 companies before speaking with Andrew, and each one let me down or was a marketing company just trying to push the lead. This is an actual locksmith who will help you, charge fairly and get the job done quickly. Thanks again for the fast work and best of luck in your growing business!"

"I now have used the Lock Doctor twice through this service and he is so incredibly prompt and knows what he is doing and cost is reasonable. This guy is great. Both times I requested him it was very early am hours (emergency service) and he was dressed professional and so speedy. My dog was locked in my room and I was worried I would have to wait hours for a call back. Not with the Lock Doctor! He is great and I highly recommend this company again and again."

"Nate is a real pro locksmith . Skilled and charges reasonable amounts . He repaired stuck deadbolt on kitchen door and also fixed front door lock that prior locksmith could not do. Wish I had called Nate first. He got this done plus re-keyed a lock ( all in about 30 minutes) and showed up when he said he would. He also pointed out things the first locksmith did wrong . He is a credit to the profession . THIS IS THE GUY TO CALL !"

"Stephen at Arizona Precision Locksmithing was outstanding from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and responded quickly when I needed help. He explained everything clearly, completed the job efficiently, and made sure everything worked perfectly before leaving. It?s hard to find someone who takes this much pride in their work, and Stephen definitely does. His attention to detail, fair pricing, and excellent customer service really set him apart. If you need a reliable locksmith, I highly recommend Arizona Precision Locksmithing. I won?t hesitate to call Stephen again in the future!"

"Our van was having problems with the keys being able to start it. So I called the person that we used to re-key our house(Stoddart’s, also on Angies List) they  referred us to Todd of Alcatraz because they said he was the best for automotive locksmith.  Todd was very professional and knows his stuff, I will defiantly call them again.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

Several types of deadbolts are available, including single-cylinder, double-cylinder, rim, smart, and electronic deadbolt locks. The most common type found in U.S. homes is the single-cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior. A double-cylinder deadbolt features two locking mechanisms and requires a key to be operated from both the inside and the outside.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.
