I was looking for a locksmith for a mailbox we continue to have issues with in my building. In my search I found this business and decided not to consider them after an employee or possibly owner was just recorded physically assaulting an elderly man, outside of their business location.

Very well. The locksmith was not only an excellent technician but a skilled salesman. I agreed to a much more complex lock than was necessary in my security building. Next time I would go with a moderate lock.

I found a company Paso Robles for the locks. My experience with this locksmith was very good. They had good service which makes me say that. I just needed a key re-keyed, that all it was.

Someone had taken a set of house keys with the intent of coming back when we were gone to steal from us, so we needed our locks changed very quickly. After explaining the situation they came out to our house two hours later. We'd had our locks changed before at a cost of over $400, and not only...

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!"

"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."

"When I called GILRAM to get a price quote, he provided a price quote over the phone after I provided a description of the services needed. Other locksmith services I contacted said they could not give a price (or even a ballpark price) without first seeing the locks. GILRAM was honest, punctual, and very professional. The locks were re-keyed and spare keys made in under an hour. I would highly recommend GILRAM to anyone needing locksmith services!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to.

You can cut a door knob off using a sawzall, but you risk causing additional damage to the door itself. You’ll also need to completely replace the door knob, costing you extra money and another trip to the hardware store.

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.
