"`Wonderful work! Ronnie Poindexter was great. The estimated arrival was between 11-12, and he arrived right at 11:00 am. He was very honest and offered options for repair/replacement. He was a highly skilled locksmith and it was a pleasure to work with him. I will use this firm for all of my locksmith work in the future."

"I was very impressed with Bob. He came out at the time that he said he would be here and worked very quickly and efficiently. To top it all off, his prices are the best that I have ever seen for a locksmith service. Bob was very personable and also gave me some great tips about how to make my home more secure. I have several other rental properties and I will for sure be using his services in the future. I highly recommend  this locksmith for anybody out there."

"I live alone and had an issue with a door that would not lock that I needed addressed immediately. I reached out through Home Advisor and was connected with LockSmith Tech. I was contacted within minutes, and they talked me through what I had to do to fix my problem. There was no charge for the service. I will definitely call them any time I have an issue with one of my locks!"

"The job was good and there were no problems. I originally wanted new keys made for my exisiting lock but was told that they could not do that.  So a new lock was isntalled instead.  Although the work was good and the locksmith was courteous and professional, I just did not expect to pay that much to replace a lock.

"I highly recommend Alex! (I never write reviews, so this means something). I lost my BMW key and I was totally desperate. I originally used someone else and they were not able to complete the job. Alex came the next day. He was very friendly and extremely patient with my high security car. When one method wasn't really working (which is where the previous guy sort of just stopped and said he couldn't complete the job), Alex found a different way. It's not an easy car to make a key for, but Alex did not give up and I was so grateful. I was expecting to get a crapy little key that I was going to have unlock every time by turning it in the door handle, but he cut me a key with the lock and unlock button on it. I was definitely not expecting that! He also cut me another backup key at no cost. He is a very friendly, professional, knowledgable and honest locksmith. I would use him time and time again, but hopefully I won't have to : )

Thanks again Alex. Hearing the sound of my door unlock and my car start was the most beautiful noise I had hear in the two long days I was trying to get my car back."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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. 

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

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. 

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.
