"I hired Eric to replace a doorknob on my front door that didn't have a lock. In order to do so, I needed a knob of a different configuration that would then leave holes in my front door. Thus the project dominoed into repainting the front door (which needed to be done anyway) and which Eric offered to do. Upon arrival, Eric noticed that there was a gap in the weatherstripping that was causing air to leak. He further examined the door and determined that the molding around the door was uneven. He removed the molding, fixed the problem and then reassembling everything. He returned two days later to give the door a second coat of paint and added new bottom weatherstripping to complete the job. Eric went above and beyond in every way!! He is meticulous and thorough. I would highly recommend him!"

"We've worked with Manuel on a number of home renovation projects and have been very happy with his work. Most recently Manuel worked on our kitchen and family room remodel. The kitchen is now our "dream kitchen" and we're very happy with how it turned out."

"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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacing locks. Professional rekeying costs between $40 and $160, sometimes with an additional fee of $15 to $40 per lock. A locksmith's hourly rate averages around $75. If you do it yourself, a rekeying kit can cost as little as $10. In contrast, replacing a lock costs between $130 and $500, with an average of around $315, depending on the hardware and lock type. Rekeying is a simpler process that changes the key for your existing lock without replacing the hardware. It is a good option if you have a quality lock that works well, you've recently moved, you've lost a key, or you need a quick security upgrade. The best choice depends on the condition of your current locks.

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

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.
