"Every one was on time when it came to installing our security and automation system. The installation advisor kindly asked we leave a review and we are happy to. Using the Safe Streets Group is a good decision. Many thanks to the advisor that helped us."

"The work that Jeff and Matt do is always great they work well together and pay attention to details. I will always use them for home repair and tree work. Jeff can limb and cut trees. I’ve used his skills for about eight years now. I recommend them for quality, their honesty, work ethic and fair pricing."

"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."

"AMAZING! Stan and team were professional, considerate, extremely honest, thorough, and excellent at communicating the process and expectations. Peace of mind comes when hiring Stan bc you know it will be done right the first time and will be done well. He did a kitchen and a bathroom remodel and a bathroom addition and it was wonderful working with him."

"I couldn?t be happier with my experience with Security Safe Company and Jeremiah! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They installed my new camera system, alarm system, and a whole home generator, and the quality of their work is outstanding. Jeremiah took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I was comfortable with how everything operates. It?s rare to find a company that delivers this level of service and care. I highly recommend Security Safe Company to anyone looking for true peace of mind and top-notch service!"

"I'd give John 20 stars if I could!! So far, he has completed several repair jobs (large and small) on my 45 year old home and is also tackling some significant landscaping projects. John is professional, responsive, multi-talented and a pleasure to work with. He is simply the BEST! I've already booked my next repair project with him."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

You can cut a door knob off using a sawzall, but you risk causing additional damage to the door itself. You’ll also need to completely replace the door knob, costing you extra money and another trip to the hardware store.

Many insurance providers offer policy discounts when adding security features to your home. The best way to find out if new locks will reduce your premium is to simply ask your agent.

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal).
