"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."

"I locked my keys in the car .locksmith speed came very fast, opened the door and he was very nice . He also asked if I had any alcohol, before he opened the door . It was 2am on a Saturday . I said no but why are you asking. He said if I said yes or if he felt that I had been drinking he would not open the door and let an intoxicated person get behind the wheel. I really like people that care now I know that locksmith speed care. I would recommend them to any one !

"I locked my keys in my car and I had to get to work. I called a few places and these guys were the only ones that were going to get to me before I had to go to work. I was so appreciative and I even offered more money, but Mathew told me no. He was extremely professional and efficient and it was even a little cheaper than the other places I called. Very pleased with the interaction."

"Arrived 2 hours outside 3 hour window, but did at least call to say they'd be late. Low-tech vent cleaning: a drill, a wire brush, and extension cable, two guys in a car, a short ladder, a small vacuum cleaner. I've had an entire house's vents steam cleaned before at the price they charged for 20 feet of dryer duct. Too expensive for the job and amount of effort put in. The invoice said Locksmith so obviously they do this on the side. The job was passable, just not super thorough. Not recommended."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, many locksmiths offer 24/7 emergency services for business lockouts, broken keys, and security breaches.

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. 

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.
