"I had the pleasure of working with Felipe (and his son), I couldn’t be happier with the results! They installed my interior doors with the utmost professionalism, ensuring every detail was perfect. What truly stood out was their willingness to go above and beyond, taking care of little extras without charging me a dime. Their attention to detail, expertise, and commitment to delivering high-quality work were remarkable. Not only were they skilled, but they also kept the workspace clean and were a joy to have around. I highly recommend Felipe to anyone looking for top-notch service. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!"

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people 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."

"Gregorio was the craftsman who performed the work at our house and he did very precise and professional work.  Everything was done just as requested, he was there when he said he would be,work was done when it was supposed to be done.  The patio decking presented some specific challenges, but Gregorio was able to figure out a way to do it and it came out perfect.  I would highly recommend the services of Kyle Beym Home Improvements.

"It went better than I expected! My tenant was locked out and called me the landlord to see if I had a spare key somewhere, unfortunately I didn’t. So, I contacted Locksmith on behalf of tenant and technician was so helpful! Tech’ stayed on the call with me, since I’m calling from out of State. And answered all of my Qts. Truly recommend!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

As with any computer, smart locks can be hacked by someone with the technical skills to do so, but most people do not have that ability, making smart locks relatively safe. If you have any concerns about a compromised smart lock, opt for an encrypted smart lock, change your Wi-Fi password, and make sure that you only give out your password to trusted family and friends.

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300

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

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

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.
