"I only used the handyman service, but Tony was very nice and seemed knowledgable about current coding and safety requirements. He even fixed a door where a locksmith had done a poor job of installing a lock, leaving the door difficult to close. What was nice about that was that it was not even on my list of things for the handyman to fix and he didn't even charge me for the extra repair, saying it only took him a few minutes. I would certainly recommend the handyman service and I would consider using this company for larger jobs. UPDATE: I have had another great experience with TME for a second small project and I plan to use them for a larger project in the near future.
2nd UPDATE: I used TME for a couple of other projects and downgraded only the "A" rating for Price that I'd given them previously to a "B." I checked on the cost of the parts for the repairs and, combined with the few minutes of actual labor for one of the projects (changing the hot water regulator), I felt that I was overcharged and would have done better to call a plumber. I think the key difference was that I did not have them bid for the more recent projects; I simply hired them. I still recommend this company, but my advice is that you get a bid first and either check the prices for the parts needed or collect and compare other bids before deciding. Otherwise, you may pay too much."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.
