He is a very professional locksmith and highly recommended, Thanks Chris we will refer you to all our friends.

"Norman seems to be a good guy. He came when promised, did the job quickly and well. Don't hire him if you have locks to put in where he has to do any physical climbing or such... he's not in great shape and huffs and puffs just doing a regular lock install while sitting on a seat he brings. He doesn't do any cleanup, but he never promised any, either. He did leave me the lever-style doorknobs that he took out when he replaced them with regular knobs so that someone could reinstall them if they wanted to, if I sold the house. DO tell him what EXACT knobs or levers you want, or buy them yourself, ahead of time. I would hire him again."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there’s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it’s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.
