"Mike was the only person who looked at my pocket door situation and correctly diagnosed the problem. It was difficult to correct, and he was able to do so in one afternoon with minimal damage to doorframe and door. I don't think anyone could have done better."

"Very nice but the job was a little more difficult than expected so they jumped from $90 to. $220 to change my locks. We eventually agreed on $150 which is competitive with the other locksmith companies"

"I purchased an Angie's List offer from Alpha Lock & Key and within an hour I got a call back from locksmith and would be at my place after he finished his current job. So within a couple hours he arrived at my house and I was very pleased with his responsiveness since I just called the same day. I showed him the digital lock I bought and he was quite familiar with it, but I also showed him the door it was to be installed. I couldn't do it myself because I didn't have the drill bit and apparatus to increase the size of the hole in the door for the lock. Danny had all necessary tools in his van and went to work right away. Within 20 mins he had the hole drilled bigger and the new lock installed. It was a different digital lock than I was use to so Danny walked me through how to program my new lock code. It was simple. Because of the service voucher I purchased, my job didn't cost anything extra so I was happy I got it. I would highly recommend Alpha Lock & Key for responsiveness, value, workmanship, and professionalism. I would definitely trust them with my locksmith needs in the future."

"Julie was very friendly and professional on the phone and was able to get locksmith out the same day. She called when he was going to be on his way. I was very skeptical because I have had previous bad experience with other people but she reassured me that he would be able to fix my problem or there would be no charge. Golan arrived on time in a company truck and was very friendly and professional. It took him seconds to remove lock and he even offered to install deadbolt that I had previously purchased. He was very fast. I used coupon from Angie's list magazine. He gave me a key tag for future free service calls. Everything went better than I expected."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

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.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.
