"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."

"So far great. I called for an estimate, the sales guy wanted me to purchase of course but wasn't overbearing. We got the system shipped to us. This is a DIY install, so just know that going in if you buy one. Also, there is a one year or 3 year contract, and if you want out of the contract, you will pay 80% of the remaining contract. The sales guy was very upfront and clear about that. If you move you can take your system/contract with you, or transfer it to the next homeowner. There are videos you can watch about installing, as well as a manual -- took a little looking on the website but there are multiple helpful manuals, call and ask if you can't find them. Also, calling the tech guys for help was easy, I was able to get through with little or no wait, and they were patient and very helpful each time. Having never installed a security system, it took us an evening rather than 15 minutes, but we have old doors that are not flush with the jams and needed to figure out how to line up the door sensors.That, and figuring out where to place the motion detectors, was all that really took time, it wasn't too bad. The base unit worked fine from the start, the voice has a pleasant British accent when "she" talks to you. You can arm your system and disarm with their keychain remote, but that left us unsure whether the system was in fact armed. (Couldn't hear the nice British voice through our door). Using our mobile phones seems better for us, the package where you can use your phone does cost $10 more per month but seems worth it to us. I did look into another very similar DIY system from another company that was less per month with no contract, and read many reviews. It seemed that other's experiences with customer service was sometimes good, sometimes not, and some had good experiences with the equipment, some didn't. We decided Front Point is worth the extra $ rather than take a chance. As far as cost, we got 2 door sensors, 3 motion detectors, base unit, stickers and sign for $99, our monthly fee is $45 with a 3 year contract."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacing locks. Professional rekeying costs between $40 and $160, sometimes with an additional fee of $15 to $40 per lock. A locksmith's hourly rate averages around $75. If you do it yourself, a rekeying kit can cost as little as $10. In contrast, replacing a lock costs between $130 and $500, with an average of around $315, depending on the hardware and lock type. Rekeying is a simpler process that changes the key for your existing lock without replacing the hardware. It is a good option if you have a quality lock that works well, you've recently moved, you've lost a key, or you need a quick security upgrade. The best choice depends on the condition of your current locks.

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.
