"Gilbert helped fix a front door that wouldn’t close. He helped my mother and I after 6pm when we were not able to find anyone else. He did a great job getting the door to fully close. Very respectful and kind. He showed up when he said he would and cleaned after himself. We will definitely work with him again."

"Nathan showed up on time on the same Saturday that I called, for rekeying the security door bolt lock, since we had lost one set of keys. He advised me to rekey the deadbolt on the inner, stouter door, and charged only slightly more. Excellent service!"

"Brian B. took my order by phone and came himself to do the work. He arrived as scheduled, looked at each of the faulty door knobs, discussed options with me, and we decided on a course of action. He left briefly to fetch my chosen hardware for a front door unit replacement kit. The hardware was all original (1983) he said and worn out. So he replaced four door knob sets and one entire front door unit, handle and dead bolt. He worked quickly and efficiently, explained and showed me the worn parts, and had me verify that my key worked in the new deadbolt before he left. I was very pleased with the work. Most of the cost was materials."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

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.

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.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

Changing door locks is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It’s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That’s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.
