"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

Always consider security a top priority in your home. Perform a safety inspection of your home. Look for broken locks and rusty deadbolts, and take an inventory of who has access to your keys.

Consider the locks on your shed, safe, and other household items. Professional locksmiths can help you determine the best safety and security options for your home and feel at ease.

When a locksmith comes to your home, ensure your safety by having the locksmith show identification and provide an itemized invoice that you can reference later.

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.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.
