"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."

"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, with better technology now available, it’s possible to add a smart lock on your sliding glass door. Smart locks can be easy for almost everyone in the family to operate and can connect to other safety features in the home, like smart lights. Plus, they’re harder for would-be criminals to pick. However, keep in mind that smart locks can potentially be hacked, and some completely rely on phones or Wi-Fi, which can be an issue if the power goes out.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

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.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.
