"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

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.

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.

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.

Always consider security a top priority in your home. Perform a safety inspection of your home. Look for broken locks and rusty deadbolts, and take an inventory of who has access to your keys.

Consider the locks on your shed, safe, and other household items. Professional locksmiths can help you determine the best safety and security options for your home and feel at ease.

When a locksmith comes to your home, ensure your safety by having the locksmith show identification and provide an itemized invoice that you can reference later.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.
