"earlier tonight I searched Angies for a locksmith. Several company's came up under Locksmith i sent request for quote to them. MS Locksmith called me and gave a very reasonable quote to rekey my home lock. Within 1 hour or less of the call MS Locksmith was at my door, explained the work to be done, was so nice and pleasant and then just as fast was finished with the job, text me the invoice as per his quote. Payment was so easy they except all types of payment including venmo and zelle and provided me with a detailed paid invoice for my files. The job was done and case closed. I will always call on MS Locksmith for all my future needs and will refer them anytime i can. MS Locksmith A+ Thank you so much for your speedy reply and taking care of my lock needs with zero stress and speed!! Appreciate you"

"It is so important to find an honest, trustworthy locksmith and Alan is definitely the best in the business. He is a total professional and I trust him to re-key my whole house. I have used him on numerous occasions - basically whenever anything goes wrong with my locks- and have recommended him to colleagues and friends. All have had equally positive experiences with both quality of work and price. I would not believe that other reviewer."

"I purchased a deal for $150.00 worth of locksmith service for $79.99.  JC from SUPER Lock & Key, Inc was exteremely responsive and called me within an hour of ordering the deal to schedule an appointment.  JC was flexible and worked around my schedule.  He showed up on Saturday morning, on time and ready to work.  He inspected our current locks, listened to our concerns and went to work right away.  He disassembled the first lock, explained what he was doing and looking for and showed me where the problem areas normally occur.  One of our locks was harder to turn than than the others but he explained why as he put the lock back together.  Our GC installed this lock and JC explained what the GC needed to do to fix it.  JC worked fast and was done in less than an hour.  He stood by as we inspected all 4 of our locks to make sure the keys worked.  He managed to reuse 2 of our existing Emtek keys and gave us 2 extra keys.  My GC fixed the lock based on what JC recommended and now it works perfectly.  5 stars!

"I had an amazing experience with this locksmith! I locked myself out of my house late at night, and they showed up within 15 minutes. Super friendly, professional, and got the door open fast without any damage. The price was very fair—actually cheaper than I expected for an emergency call. You can tell they really care about customer service and not just making a quick buck. I’ll definitely call them again if I ever need a locksmith and will recommend them to friends and family."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

Any type of dead bolt lock provides the highest level of safety for a single device. However, it’s also important to determine a lock's grade. Locks can come in either Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, which indicates how durable it is and if it’s constructed solidly. Safety experts recommend choosing locks based on Grade 1, which offers the highest level of durability.

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in.
