"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

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

Find a vetted and trusted locksmith to work on your home so you can feel comfortable and safe. Hire a professional with these qualifications:

  • Search a verified directory of locksmiths near you, like those on Angi. 

  • Check for an Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) logo on their website or company logo.

  • Read company reviews. You can also check their social media pages.

  • Ask for a pro’s credentials, insurance, licensure, and customer testimonials. 

  • Check if the locksmith is knowledgeable about various topics, from decorative locks to the newest technologies on the market.

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.
