"My wife called Lightning Locks to re-key our new house. She set up an appointment with Alan. She originally told him that we need four locks and we end up needing 12. Alan had enough supply of keys with him and was prepared to do the job. He arrived on time and was very professional . We also like the fact the he doesn't have a hidden fees. The whole process went very smoothly and we are very happy with his service."

"I purchased a deal for $150.00 worth of locksmith service for $79.99.  JC from SUPER Lock & Key, Inc was exteremely responsive and called me within an hour of ordering the deal to schedule an appointment.  JC was flexible and worked around my schedule.  He showed up on Saturday morning, on time and ready to work.  He inspected our current locks, listened to our concerns and went to work right away.  He disassembled the first lock, explained what he was doing and looking for and showed me where the problem areas normally occur.  One of our locks was harder to turn than than the others but he explained why as he put the lock back together.  Our GC installed this lock and JC explained what the GC needed to do to fix it.  JC worked fast and was done in less than an hour.  He stood by as we inspected all 4 of our locks to make sure the keys worked.  He managed to reuse 2 of our existing Emtek keys and gave us 2 extra keys.  My GC fixed the lock based on what JC recommended and now it works perfectly.  5 stars!

"I locked my keys in the car .locksmith speed came very fast, opened the door and he was very nice . He also asked if I had any alcohol, before he opened the door . It was 2am on a Saturday . I said no but why are you asking. He said if I said yes or if he felt that I had been drinking he would not open the door and let an intoxicated person get behind the wheel. I really like people that care now I know that locksmith speed care. I would recommend them to any one !

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.
