"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

Customers say: Quick response

"I've hired lots of contractors and home service providers over the years, but I've never had one work as hard as Jeffrey! I hired him to replace ten 12' tennis fence poles along with the accompanying top rails. Jeff busted his butt digging out the existing poles which were set in concrete, and then made sure each new pole was set in a 24" hole. He had minimal help from a laborer. Did most of the hard work himself. He was onsite every morning by 7:30am at the latest and gave a solid 8 hour+ day every day until the project was done. Jeff provided receipts for all materials purchased (how often does that happen?). His pricing was exceptionally fair given the effort and end result, which was excellent. Honest, friendly, hardworking, and a great completed job at the end . What else can ya ask for? Bravo Jeff!"

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.

Begin by checking the power source, typically a battery or wired connection. Ensure the battery is installed correctly, has sufficient charge, and isn't corroded. If it's a wired lock, examine the electrical connections to confirm they are secure and free from damage. Additionally, inspect the lock's programming or settings. Confirm that user codes or access credentials are programmed correctly and that any remote control devices are paired and functional.

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.

A door lock service is performed by a professional locksmith, and the cost of hiring a locksmith for these kinds of repair tasks usually runs in the $100 to $250 range. It all depends on the type of locks you have, how many locks are included in the service, and where your home is located. Always choose reliable, trustworthy locksmiths, and get a few quotes before making your choice.
