"I had an excellent experience with Carlos. I called four different locksmiths before finding him, and nobody could help me with reprogramming the key for my 2008 VW Beetle. From the moment I spoke with Carlos, I could tell he really knew what he was doing. He was confident, professional, and took the time to explain the process clearly. Volkswagen keys can be difficult to program, but Carlos handled the job quickly and efficiently without any problems. The key works perfectly now, and I’m honestly so relieved after dealing with so many dead ends before finding the right person. He was punctual, respectful, and his pricing was fair — especially considering the level of expertise required for the job. He saved me a lot of time, stress, and money compared to going through the dealership. It’s rare to find someone this knowledgeable, honest, and dependable. I highly recommend Carlos to anyone needing a locksmith or car key programming service, especially if you have a Volkswagen!"

"Wonderful process to work with Sam. I explained what I was needing and looking for. His VERY obvious knowledge in this industry never leads me wrong. I’m very confident in Sam’s skills in anything tech related. He’s fixed multiple devices such as laptops and iPads. The work is impeccable and very timely manner. He’s also educated myself and my office on security requirements and setting up our systems. I would (and will) hire him every time and lean on his guidance."

"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."

"Paul was just the handyman we were looking for in our move- out/move-in projects. He was prompt, knowledgable and went the extra mile to help us complete our 'to do' list. This included door repair and new door hardware and expert picture hanging. We highly recommend him and will use his services anytime there's a need."

Locksmiths questions, 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.

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

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.

Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacing locks. Professional rekeying costs between $40 and $160, sometimes with an additional fee of $15 to $40 per lock. A locksmith's hourly rate averages around $75. If you do it yourself, a rekeying kit can cost as little as $10. In contrast, replacing a lock costs between $130 and $500, with an average of around $315, depending on the hardware and lock type. Rekeying is a simpler process that changes the key for your existing lock without replacing the hardware. It is a good option if you have a quality lock that works well, you've recently moved, you've lost a key, or you need a quick security upgrade. The best choice depends on the condition of your current locks.
