Customers say: Super punctual

"Owning a house built in 1930 means lots of repairs and upkeep, so over the past 30 years I've hired plenty of repair folks and handymen to solve my various household repairs. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you, with genuine pleasure, that Gil Bussanich and Eddy Rios from Mr. Handyman, are hands down the most skilled, punctual, helpful, experienced, honest, expert, reasonably priced and efficient repair guys I've ever dealt with -- period. I interviewed or called or checked out nearly a dozen companies or individuals to address my repair issue and few of them struck me as being very experienced in dealing with my particular repair need. Few sounded interested in dealing with locating a new a/c-heating unit which would fit into the existing wall sleeve -- but the instant I spoke with Jeffrey at Mr. Handyman I had hope I'd finally found the right company. Jeffrey couldn't wait to send me his top guys to solve my problem. From beginning to end this company does their job in a way that exceeds my high expectations. Gil insisted on personally eyeballing the 27-year-old unit to be replaced and took great pains to take every single measurement imaginable to make absolutely sure that the replacement unit would fit perfectly into the sleeve, thus sparing me the big expense of having to tear out the sleeve and install a new one. Gil, a low-key, folksy perfectionist, took the time necessary to search for a unit with the right BTUs, the required features, and the right price. And when the job was nearly complete Gil realized I'd probably have to call my city's Public Works department and pay to have them haul away the bulky old a/c unit. But then he remembered that there's a place out near where he lives where large discarded stuff can be dropped off and taken to the dump -- he told me not to worry, he'd take care of it for me. That Gil is the kind of man to make that kindly offer is certainly one reason to call Mr. Handyman the next time you have a household repair to take care of. But it's only one of many reasons to let Gil and Eddy and their Mr. Handyman company fix what needs fixing in your home."

"Derek fixed my folding laundry room doors.. I thought that they were literally gone. I was prepared to throw them away and buy new ones. "Nope, I can fix this." Derek said. And he did. They work better now than when I initially bought them. Derek is friendly, smart and very knowledgeable. I could not imagine how he was going to fix my plantation shutters. Once again, he was able to repair them, I have some flooring that I need to replace and I am making a plan with Derek to do that as well. I do not think that there is anything that Derek can not fix. I am so happy that I found Derek. This is my first time using Angie's List. If Derek is the type of professional that is on Angie's List, I will use nothing else. Five Stars to Derek at Local Home Services."

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

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.
