"Dave Smith was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable and patient. We added new items to our order at the 12th hour and he came back twice to make sure that everything was completed as we desired. We also had Alarm Protection Group secure our office. Dave Smith and Co. make the process very easy-Highly recommended."

"Our dealings with Protect Your Home/ADT were delightful. We received a call back very fast after requesting a quote through Angie's List. We were able to complete everything on the phone; there was no paperwork or downtime. I had to call Customer Service with a question about the keypad, and they ended up telling me other helpful details on top of my original question."

"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 questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey. 

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.
