"It is so important to find an honest, trustworthy locksmith and Alan is definitely the best in the business. He is a total professional and I trust him to re-key my whole house. I have used him on numerous occasions - basically whenever anything goes wrong with my locks- and have recommended him to colleagues and friends. All have had equally positive experiences with both quality of work and price. I would not believe that other reviewer."

"The lock was not repairable at our home, so Kevin said he would take the broken part in and have it done at a local locksmith's shop, however this shop is closed on Saturday.  Kevin will be back on Monday to take the part in then and he thought it would be repaired very easily and quickly.  In the meantime, Kevin tried to make sure the door would temporarily lock for us by "tweeking" the lock.  He found some problems with our door, not the lock now.  He spent quite a bit of time working on the door without any additional charge or complaints.  He worked tenaciously to make sure we were safe and secure in our home until the real repair could be completed on Monday.  I can't say enough about how impressed I am at the work ethic I observed in Kevin and his company!!  I will call them again anytime I need lock help.

Well, things have not gone well since I posted my first review.  Since then, we have been stood up twice for appointments that we made to complete the lock repair.  We have tried to contact the company 6 times by phone and have received the message that the mailbox for this phone number is full and we should try later.  We now feel that the company is either no longer there or that it was some kind of scam!  We are not happy with this company AT ALL and do not recommend them.  One additional problem, there is no address on our receipt so we cannot even go by the business and talk to someone.  We are now left with no choice but to contact another locksmith and try to resolve our lock problem which is a big one, as we cannot use our front door.  It will not open at all.  It is locked shut!!!!!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

The benefit of deadbolt locks is that they're much harder to force open than simple locks with pin tumbler mechanisms, so they may offer added security. This feature is why many locksmiths recommend deadbolts for home security. For many households, this added protection and peace of mind is well worth the cost of installing a deadbolt.

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.

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

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.
