Woody the Locksmith LLC is dedicated to providing our customers with the best quality and craftsmanship. We are here to build relationships with our customers and communities and to provide our employees with a great place to work. I named the company Woody the locksmith LLC because since I was 19 everybody said I look like Woody Harrelson. I only put this in here so people don't get confused because my real name is Joshua Higginbotham. Woody the Locksmith LLC is a leader in providing our customers with the highest quality products and craftsmanship in an honest, efficient, and professional way. Our pledge is to create successful relationships with our customers, employees and community by building trust, treating every project with the utmost integrity and exceeding expectations. We look forward to working with you!

"Prompt response and came up with another solution since the door lock was the original and couldn't be fixed, however, installed a silver colored lock above which didn't match the chrome lock already on there so had to remove and replace it with a closer color....then the tenant was concerned that the original lock was still getting stuck and couldn't enter through the new lock with the old latch getting stuck. I followed-up and the tech basically said that couldn't be happening and he would charge me to come out and repair it if it failed after the new lock was installed which was not an option after how much was paid to "fix". Basically washed hands of the lock not being disabled properly to begin with since it wasn't working therefore the reason for the repair. It is not a separate problem it is the same one. I need to find a competent locksmith to fix it. I regret going with the 1st person who responded....I should have talked to several, then vetted them more closely prior."

"Needed to have several doors re-keyed for my daughter's new home. Had terrible experience with another "locksmith" and did not use them. Called West Hartford Lock, my husband spoke with the office manage, Kathy Cerruto. Could not have been nicer, more professional, or more helpful. Someone went to my daughter's a few days later and re-keyed several locks in not too much time. VERY reasonable. Would absolutely recommend and use them again."

We are a small, family owned business with a shop atmosphere. Our technicians are out on the road frequently, so we do not keep set store hours. For this reason, we ask that you call in advance if you are stopping by with a lock problem, we wouldn't want to have you stop in if there is no one here to assist you. For the most part, there is someone in the office from 8am to 4pm, but please, still call ahead. Our charge for a scheduled service call starts at $100.00. This charge increases to $150.00 for emergency or same-day-service calls, so if at all possible, please call ahead to schedule.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying door locks yourself costs a fraction of what you would expect to pay a locksmith. On average, it costs between $50 to $100 to hire a local locksmith to rekey your house, though labor costs may vary based on where you live. For a DIY solution, you can expect to spend $11 to $25 on a rekeying kit.

Replacing your locks isn’t always a necessary option. You can usually save money by rekeying locks instead of replacing the hardware. You should consider rekeying the locks instead of replacing them in the following scenarios:

  • You want to upgrade your existing locks.

  • You have a lock you don’t want to replace.

  • You recently bought a home and want to change the locks.

  • You lost your key.

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.

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.

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.
