"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!"

"Outstanding service! Manny was responsive for scheduling and showing up on time. Manny assessed all projects carefully and completed each efficiently and neatly. We are very pleased with his work and would be definitely hiring him for other projects. Very Friendly & professional service!"
This is the type of quality workmanship that we do. Look at the next images to see our process.
After much work, this is how our subflooring repair and tile job came out. The next photos show the process of how much work went into this job. Enjoy!
At this stage we laid out the studs per plan and were ready to start building the first wall.
The old stained sink and faucet had to go.
After removing the old toilet, I saw that the flange had a piece broken where the seating screw is attached. This had to be fixed before installing the new toilet. These are items that are not visible when you give a bid.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

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.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.
