"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 !"

"I will hire again and again! Steven was quick, efficient, and resourceful. Instead of going straight to drilling out the lock, he took the time to check other doors to find an easier and more affordable way to help. He was fast, good at what he did, and genuinely kind throughout the whole process. Grateful for honest people like him who care about helping others, not just making a sale. Highly recommend."

"If there was a rating above five stars they would have gotten it! Bob is so great!!! He’s fast, clean, respectful, and just awesome! He educate the client without making them feel as if they should have known in advance. He made everything so easy for me where to previous locksmiths failed to do that. When you called to make an appointment you speak to his lovely wife, Anne. She makes everything amazingly simple on her side and is a pleasure to speak with on top of it! They are an amazing duo and there is no way they could be better. Just call them now!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.
