"Rory knows his business! The latch bolt had seized up in the strike plate because the antique wooden door had swollen with all the rain and was wedged within the door frame so tightly that it was impossible to open. Rory knew right where to place the tip of a screwdriver to pop that old door right open! It was like magic! Heâ s my hero! If you need a real professional locksmith, give Arvada Lock and Key a call and ask for Rory!"

"Tom was quick to respond to my inquiry regarding locksmiths. He and I agreed to a price on unlocking my apartment, both the deadbolt and handle lock. He was so quick that he even beat me to my apartment and waited for me to arrive, that was helpful as I didn't have to sit around waiting. He was able to figure out my locks without issue and didn't cause any damage as he didn't have to drill out either lock. Friendly, fast and affordable."

"I would give Travis more than 5 stars if that were possible. I hired him through HomeAdvisor knowing that heâ s licensed and insured, to install a keyless door lock. Travis responded to my request immediately and he was polite, professional, and patient with my questions. He showed up on time and prepared to start the job. He met each obstacle that popped up, such as missing and broken parts, with workable solutions. I appreciated his attention to detail â and he also cleaned up the work site when finished. Travis went above and beyond to be certain everything was done well. I highly recommend Travis for any project."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.

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.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

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.

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.
