"Amazing and quick customer service. Corey came to my rescue to replace my lost car key, when my car dealer didnâ t respond. He is very friendly and professional and helped turn a stressful situation into a fun learning experience. I have continued to use him and his expert team of locksmiths to rekey all the doors in my home, and install security locks at my cabin. Very honest and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them."

"My boyfriend Brandon and I recently just bought a house, and Richard Williams helped us have some peace of mind. He gave us some deals in installations fees, and helped us figure out what we wanted for our house and not just trying to sell us the best of the best. We started off basic with the hopes of moving it to a new larger house with advance systems you can upgrade to. Richard was awesome and recommend him to anyone! Was installed exactly when scheduled, and the tech was very helpful on the training. Can't go wrong here if you are looking for a security system with impeccable service."

"Jason came on time and he was very professional and courteous. He fixed all the gates and the fence and evaluated the windows and tried so hard to find a part to fix it later. I will definitely hire him every time there is a repair to do at home and already recommended him to all my friends."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.
