"ADT is the best company 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."

"I called Cris at noon time on the day of service.  Cris advised me that he was on a labor intensive job that would take most of the day.  He told me that he could make it by 6:00 PM.  I agreed to that time as I had just closed on a new home and needed all of the locks re keyed.  Cris arrived on time and immediately started the removal and dis assembly of the lock mechanisms. Cris inspected all of the lock mechanisms and had to replace some broken parts on one of the locks.  Cris reassembled and installed all of the locks insuring all were functioning correctly and were lubricated correctly.  The new keys were manufactured correctly and worked with no malfunctions.  Cris worked non stop for 1.5 hours to get the job done.  It should be noted that Cris' workday started at 5:30 AM.  Although Cris had already put in a 12 hour plus day before he arrived at my home he showed no signs of fatigue and was very professional and cordial.  I highly recommend that you consider Cris for any locksmith related needs as he will not let you down.

"I needed locks changed on a rental property quickly. When I reached Kees he gave me a timeline and kept it.
Honest, dependable and performed quality work which is something of a commodity in these days and times. I would highly recommend because honesty and security are two things you really need when it comes to a locksmith. With so many scams going on these days...Kees will give you peace of mind.

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

Smart deadbolts are a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking more convenience, flexibility, and advanced features than a traditional deadbolt can provide. While a strong conventional deadbolt offers sufficient security for most, smart deadbolts provide significant upgrades.

Key benefits include keyless entry via smartphone, keypads, or biometric sensors, and the ability to lock or unlock your door remotely. You can also manage access for guests by creating temporary codes, eliminating the need for physical keys and the risk of them being lost or duplicated. Many models integrate with smart home systems and offer features like automatic locking, entry-exit monitoring, and tamper alerts with encryption for enhanced security.

However, there are downsides to consider. Smart deadbolts are more expensive than their traditional counterparts and rely on batteries and wireless networks to function. This dependency introduces potential vulnerabilities, such as hacking by skilled intruders and privacy concerns. Installation can also be more complex. Despite these drawbacks, the added layer of convenience and protection makes them a compelling option for many.

The benefit of deadbolt locks is that they're much harder to force open than simple locks with pin tumbler mechanisms, so they may offer added security. This feature is why many locksmiths recommend deadbolts for home security. For many households, this added protection and peace of mind is well worth the cost of installing a deadbolt.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

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.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.
