We've been proudly servicing Okaloosa,Walton,Santa Rosa and Bay Counties since 1972. Locally owned and operated. 24 hour emergency service. We pride ourselves on customer service.

"I needed my entry locks rekeyed due to a lost set of keys after hours. After comparing reviews I went with A to Z Lock and Safe and they scheduled Chris to come out around 1700 on Saturday as I requested. Chris called at 1630 and confirmed arrival and was on time. He listened to my request and examined the doors and within 15 minutes had both entry doors and a spare deadbolt rekeyed per my request, including five copies of keys. He was very knowledgeable about my custom doors and answered additional questions I had for potential future upgrades for home automation integration and security systems. All in all very friendly, professional, and timely work. I highly recommend A to Z Lock and Safe and will use them again as needed."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.

Locksmiths typically recommend using a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, instead of the popular oil-based lubricants you can purchase at almost any store. Dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating instead of attracting more dirt and debris like an oil-based lubricant. You can find these at a hardware store; some are made explicitly for lock use.

Any type of dead bolt lock provides the highest level of safety for a single device. However, it’s also important to determine a lock's grade. Locks can come in either Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, which indicates how durable it is and if it’s constructed solidly. Safety experts recommend choosing locks based on Grade 1, which offers the highest level of durability.
