"I had a very unusual lock on a custom glass door. No other locksmiths I called even knew where to start. He came to my home in a few hours and fixed my problem in a few minutes. I had him make three other locks work better. I paid him extra and would hire him again in a minute. Very professional and very fast."

"PLEASE. DO NOT HIRE KRISTINA AND JARED. We don't want to lose them. They are a delightful couple who have the hardworking, pride-in-doing-a-good-job that one sees too infrequently these days. They are smart, communicative, pay attention to detail and remember and honor special requests with great care. Somehow, they manage to combine these attributes with such an easy-going disposition that, despite our very private natures, we are quite comfortable with them in our home. They consistently make every effort to go above and beyond expectations while even taking moments here and there to interact with our granddaughter and dogs. They are so gracious they're actually amused when our dog attacks their mop. They make every effort to schedule timely service and are super responsive with returning calls/texts. We've had them help with special projects including washing windows, jambs and screens that hadn't been washed in the almost two years since we bought the house, plus who knows how many more years. Clean windows can make a house shine; the windows sparkled when they were done. As an added bonus, it was cute watching them work together on the windows--Kristina on the inside, Jared on the outside, pointing out spots to each other.
My husband is 100% disabled combat veteran and we are have our 10-month old granddaughter in our home. Jared is available to help with my "honey do" list, which is so incredibly valuable to me. The list is long, so for now we have just worked on prioritizing projects and starting with one thing at a time. I have a lot of remodeling experience and know that Jared has a solid understanding of the work required with each different project.  Further, I can see the same pride in doing a good job with regard to his handyman services. 
So, please. Don't hire them. I really need them. And, I had them first.

"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."

"Dan did a great job! I had three separate items to install in a door and he completed all in about 15 minutes! He also accommodated an extra request that we made on another door. I would absolutely hire him again and would recommend his locksmith services to everyone!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Standard residential deadbolt locks come with a steel bolt that locks your door into place using a key (or keypad) on one side and a thumb turn on the other. When you lock it, the bolt slides into a strike plate on your door jamb to secure your door shut.

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.

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.

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.

Begin by checking the power source, typically a battery or wired connection. Ensure the battery is installed correctly, has sufficient charge, and isn't corroded. If it's a wired lock, examine the electrical connections to confirm they are secure and free from damage. Additionally, inspect the lock's programming or settings. Confirm that user codes or access credentials are programmed correctly and that any remote control devices are paired and functional.
