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."

"It went excellent. After calling a number of garage door businesses and receiving do response, I turned to Angie’s list and found Up and Down. Chris came to the house and did a superb job of repairing the down and getting it back on track. The door looks and operates like it was never hit. In addition to great work Chris was honest and didn’t rip me off. I am sure some other companies would have told me the door was old and unrepairable, but Chris was HONEST and repaired it like new. I will never call another door company other then Up and Down. They are honest, do excellent work and won’t rip you off."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:

  • Type of services required

  • Emergency call fees

  • Home and lock location

  • Number of locks to repair or install

  • Peak hours

  • Type of locks

Yes, keyless locks can be quite safe, but their security depends on the type and quality of the lock you choose. Many keyless locks offer added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, making them potentially more secure than traditional locks. However, keyless locks can also be susceptible to hacking, battery failure, or technical malfunctions, so it's important to choose a reliable brand and stay on top of software updates and maintenance.

Changing door locks is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It’s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That’s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.
