"I only used the handyman service, but Tony was very nice and seemed knowledgable about current coding and safety requirements. He even fixed a door where a locksmith had done a poor job of installing a lock, leaving the door difficult to close. What was nice about that was that it was not even on my list of things for the handyman to fix and he didn't even charge me for the extra repair, saying it only took him a few minutes. I would certainly recommend the handyman service and I would consider using this company for larger jobs. UPDATE: I have had another great experience with TME for a second small project and I plan to use them for a larger project in the near future.
2nd UPDATE: I used TME for a couple of other projects and downgraded only the "A" rating for Price that I'd given them previously to a "B." I checked on the cost of the parts for the repairs and, combined with the few minutes of actual labor for one of the projects (changing the hot water regulator), I felt that I was overcharged and would have done better to call a plumber. I think the key difference was that I did not have them bid for the more recent projects; I simply hired them. I still recommend this company, but my advice is that you get a bid first and either check the prices for the parts needed or collect and compare other bids before deciding. Otherwise, you may pay too much."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.

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.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.
