"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."

"Very polite. Took time to show me and explain the parts of the door lock that had worn down. Was able to replace the necessary part rather than having to buy a whole new lock to replace it."

"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

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.

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.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:

  • Type of services required

  • Emergency call fees

  • Home and lock location

  • Number of locks to repair or install

  • Peak hours

  • Type of locks
