"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

The Big Deal was to change out 5 locks for $89.  I have 3 doors leading from house to exterior with keyed locks on both sides (which means a key is needed to open the lock from the outside and same key is needed to unlock from inside the house), 1 door from house into garage (key needed only on garage side) and 1 door from garage to exterior (key needed only on exterior) - a total of 5 doors.  When I called Bob with El Cheapo Locksmith to schedule an appointment, I learned from him that each side needing a key counts as 1 lock, so instead of getting all 5 doors done for $89 which I had original thought, I had to pay an extra $20 per lock for 3 locks for a total of $60 extra!  The total for the entire job is $145 - a lot different from $89! 

On the day of the appt, Bob was late and I didn't receive a call from him to tell me he would be late.  So I called him and said that we had talked the day before to schedule the appt and since he was driving, he asked for me to text him my address and the agreed upon date/time of appt (which I did immediately after we hung up).  He said he did not get the text and asked for me to resend, which I did.  He ended up coming to my house on the day of the appointment, but a few hours later than the original scheduled time.

Although Bob did a good job in changing out the locks, the charges for extra locks should have been clearer in the description of The Big Deal.  Angie's List needs to work with the contractors in providing a more descriptive list of services to be covered in the deal.  Oftentimes, the description lacks clarity and really needs a more detailed list of inclusions & exclusions of the deal.  In this particular case, most of us who are not locksmiths will not know that a lock needing keys on each side is considered 2 separate locks (even though mine uses the same key)!

Overall, the actual changing of the locks was executed well, but the clean up at the end could use improvement.  Bob did do some clean up, but there were still some grease smudges on door knobs or the door itself which I had to clean.  I also had to vacuum steel shavings off the floor & other areas (like our kitchen counters) when the locks were removed and needed a temp place to land.  When I tried out the new keys, grease would be all over my hands because of the greasing of the new locks.  Bob did tell me that he put a lot of grease into the new locks, but didn't know what that meant.  I later learned that meant "carry a wet wipe the first few times of locking/unlocking the doors so you can clean your hands".  Again, non-locksmith people will not know this automatically.  These may seem like minor details, but homeowners expect to be informed.  Unpleasant surprises become annoyances and that's what most customers will remember.

Despite the above, I would probably use El Cheapo Locksmith again because Bob seems to be an honest, hard-working guy, that will use my feedback here to improve his business.

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

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.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.
