"Jacob was great! My garage door spring broke which prevented the door from opening fully. I needed to get into my garage so I forced the door open and created further damage. Jacob diagnosed everything and after listening to my options I decided it was best to replace my 30 year old garage door opener. Jacob repaired my spring and came the next day to install my new garage door opener. I appreciated the communication all along the way. When he was late I received a message and throughout the whole repair Jacob communicated everything to me. The service and price and price I paid were excellent. Thank You Jacob for your service and recommendations."

"Amazing. Bob completed the job at less cost than his estimate and that included a second task that was not even in the estimate. The job required cutting a hole in drywall that had wallpaper on it and Bob was able to drill holes in the studs behind the drywall and pass wires through the holes thereby leaving the drywall looking great. He has a great knack for figuring out innovative solutions to your problems that minimize cost while making the results look great. I will continue to use him. He is very honest."

You will find many businesses here that will replace your door with a nice new retrofit door. If that is what you want, you won't find one here. We specialize in repairs. If you are like most people, you just want a door that does what it's supposed to do. !!WORK!! That's where we can help. It doesn't take a genius to fix a door, but it does often take a strong back, a certain amount of risk(glass breaks), and some knowledge of the subject, along with at least 1 trip to the hardware store(often more than one). If you are the type that wants to tackle it yourself, we would be glad to offer advise where possible. Most people have better things to do with their time. Leave it to the experts.

"We had 2 sliding glass doors that wouldn’t glide freely. I got a phone quote & repair on the same day! They now function perfectly & the price was so reasonable!"

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.

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. 

A deadbolt has a different design, construction, and security level than a regular lock. Regular locks are mostly used for interior doors around the home, like bedrooms and bathrooms, and they usually include a locking mechanism on the inside. While regular locks are easy to use and install, they provide little security. 

A deadbolt adds a layer of security and is most commonly used on exterior doors. The installation is typically more complicated, but they hold up to wear and tear.

You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there’s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it’s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.
