"I have been with K&J Cleaning Service since it's inception when it was formerly "Kristina and Jared's Cleaning and Handyman Services." After a somewhat rocky start when it was starting up, I am particularly pleased with the work of Vincent, one of the workers, (and Al, the proprietor/manager). Vince provides that extra "something" that is vital in home care (and does it pleasantly and with apparent joy)."

"ADT is the best company 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."

"The service went great. I found El Cheapo locksmith on Angie List. I called them up and 30 minutes later they were at the house. The job from start to finish took about 30 minutes. I was very pleased with the work completed. I would definitely use El Cheapo again.

"Well technically, Locksmith Express did not show up. Apparently, Jeff had hand surgery or an injury of some sort. But instead of canceling, he sent over another locksmith, which was perfectly fine. I give 4 stars b/c Locksmith Express was at least responsible enough to send a replacement (I have had contractors who simply do not show up at all w/o any explanation!). But I cannot give 5 stars only b/c I did not deal them directly!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Changing door locks is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It’s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That’s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key.
