"Amazing and quick customer service. Corey came to my rescue to replace my lost car key, when my car dealer didnâ t respond. He is very friendly and professional and helped turn a stressful situation into a fun learning experience. I have continued to use him and his expert team of locksmiths to rekey all the doors in my home, and install security locks at my cabin. Very honest and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them."

"My boyfriend Brandon and I recently just bought a house, and Richard Williams helped us have some peace of mind. He gave us some deals in installations fees, and helped us figure out what we wanted for our house and not just trying to sell us the best of the best. We started off basic with the hopes of moving it to a new larger house with advance systems you can upgrade to. Richard was awesome and recommend him to anyone! Was installed exactly when scheduled, and the tech was very helpful on the training. Can't go wrong here if you are looking for a security system with impeccable service."

"Jason came on time and he was very professional and courteous. He fixed all the gates and the fence and evaluated the windows and tried so hard to find a part to fix it later. I will definitely hire him every time there is a repair to do at home and already recommended him to all my friends."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacing locks. Professional rekeying costs between $40 and $160, sometimes with an additional fee of $15 to $40 per lock. A locksmith's hourly rate averages around $75. If you do it yourself, a rekeying kit can cost as little as $10. In contrast, replacing a lock costs between $130 and $500, with an average of around $315, depending on the hardware and lock type. Rekeying is a simpler process that changes the key for your existing lock without replacing the hardware. It is a good option if you have a quality lock that works well, you've recently moved, you've lost a key, or you need a quick security upgrade. The best choice depends on the condition of your current locks.

Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.
