"In this town it’s very difficult to find a reputable Handyman. Look no further! I’ve already had Kevin Mallay do various jobs at my house. He’s always done an excellent job. Kevin communicates well is dependable keeps appointments and workes without supervision and is very clean. His pricing is reasonable. On this job he did an excellent job repairing the side soffit. I have other projects for him to do. I can highly recommend Kevin Mallay."

"NZ Construction, Inc came out a long ways to get the job done. A small hiccup during the repair of the wheels of my sliding glass door it made noise when it slid back and forth. He informed me that he did not have any spare wheels on hand of that type. He went above and beyond to go out of his way to get a new set and come back and install a new set. Also my sliding glass doors were quite stubborn to remove but he got them off safely without risking the glass breaking. I'm sure they were quite a challenge but I'm glad he didn't give up. Overall he professionalism and persistence and more than fair price was absolutely worth hiring him. I'd be happy recommend him to others."

"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"Roger, Chad and Kenny were the best! First, Roger was extremely responsive. I called the day after the leak began and he came by that morning to assess the damage and how he can help. This was the first repair work I needed on my house and I really didn't know who to call but I am so glad to have found these guys. These guys are very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely be contacting Grove Handyman again!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

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.
