"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"

"JC was awesome from the moment I called to schedule the appointment. He was able to accommodate my schedule and come quickly (much sooner than other places I called). He stayed at my place 1-hour and re-keyed all the locks during that time. Since he was so efficient and trustworthy I ended up asking him to fix a broken lock which he did very quickly too.
I will hire JC without a doubt, next time I need an awesome locksmith!

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

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.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security.
