"Jacob was great! My garage door spring broke which prevented the door from opening fully. I needed to get into my garage so I forced the door open and created further damage. Jacob diagnosed everything and after listening to my options I decided it was best to replace my 30 year old garage door opener. Jacob repaired my spring and came the next day to install my new garage door opener. I appreciated the communication all along the way. When he was late I received a message and throughout the whole repair Jacob communicated everything to me. The service and price and price I paid were excellent. Thank You Jacob for your service and recommendations."

You will find many businesses here that will replace your door with a nice new retrofit door. If that is what you want, you won't find one here. We specialize in repairs. If you are like most people, you just want a door that does what it's supposed to do. !!WORK!! That's where we can help. It doesn't take a genius to fix a door, but it does often take a strong back, a certain amount of risk(glass breaks), and some knowledge of the subject, along with at least 1 trip to the hardware store(often more than one). If you are the type that wants to tackle it yourself, we would be glad to offer advise where possible. Most people have better things to do with their time. Leave it to the experts.

"We had 2 sliding glass doors that wouldn’t glide freely. I got a phone quote & repair on the same day! They now function perfectly & the price was so reasonable!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A smart lock is a variation of a traditional lock, and since it uses similar locking mechanisms, it’s technically not any safer. The difference is that a smart lock requires a login instead of a physical key. Some smart locks have added safety features, like shutting down after too many attempts with the wrong code. Some smart locks are considered harder to pick than traditional locks, which can further deter intruders.

A deadbolt has a different design, construction, and security level than a regular lock. Regular locks are mostly used for interior doors around the home, like bedrooms and bathrooms, and they usually include a locking mechanism on the inside. While regular locks are easy to use and install, they provide little security. 

A deadbolt adds a layer of security and is most commonly used on exterior doors. The installation is typically more complicated, but they hold up to wear and tear.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.
