"They were great. I thought I was going to have to change my locks, but they ended up just rekeying them and giving me a different key. Overall, i was really happy with the services."

"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."

"PLEASE. DO NOT HIRE KRISTINA AND JARED. We don't want to lose them. They are a delightful couple who have the hardworking, pride-in-doing-a-good-job that one sees too infrequently these days. They are smart, communicative, pay attention to detail and remember and honor special requests with great care. Somehow, they manage to combine these attributes with such an easy-going disposition that, despite our very private natures, we are quite comfortable with them in our home. They consistently make every effort to go above and beyond expectations while even taking moments here and there to interact with our granddaughter and dogs. They are so gracious they're actually amused when our dog attacks their mop. They make every effort to schedule timely service and are super responsive with returning calls/texts. We've had them help with special projects including washing windows, jambs and screens that hadn't been washed in the almost two years since we bought the house, plus who knows how many more years. Clean windows can make a house shine; the windows sparkled when they were done. As an added bonus, it was cute watching them work together on the windows--Kristina on the inside, Jared on the outside, pointing out spots to each other.
My husband is 100% disabled combat veteran and we are have our 10-month old granddaughter in our home. Jared is available to help with my "honey do" list, which is so incredibly valuable to me. The list is long, so for now we have just worked on prioritizing projects and starting with one thing at a time. I have a lot of remodeling experience and know that Jared has a solid understanding of the work required with each different project.  Further, I can see the same pride in doing a good job with regard to his handyman services. 
So, please. Don't hire them. I really need them. And, I had them first.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

It depends on what type of keyless entry it is and if the locksmith has the proper tools to remove a keypad entry lock since some are more advanced than others. However, locksmiths can typically work around keyless entries to vehicles, so it depends on what type of keyless entry system needs opening.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.
