"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."

"Highly recommend Nahoom. Punctual, honest, reliable and most of all, he takes time to explain everything from start to finish. In my case, the job I hired him for turned out to be time consuming and extremely cumbersome to accomplish. He never shied away from it and tacked it with no hesitation. He had to reconfigure an existing hurricane door lock and handle. This door is made of aluminum and metal. He made sure it was done 100% right. I will definitely be using Nahoom for future jobs. So glad I found such a detailed and reliable pro. Five star +++++"

"Garfield Locksmith and Painting service was way beyond of what I expected. Professional, explains the job details to you, answers any questions that you may have with patients. Mr. Garfield was in and out with percussion. I would definitely recommend his business to others."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

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.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.
