"I can highly recommend Better Choice Locksmith & Security. I found Ron, the owner on Angi's, with great reviews. Immediately hired him. He was very responsive, communicated well, kept me informed, arrived when he said he would. He was very skilled, worked efficiently, cleaned up the area around the door when he was done. He was also very pleasant and polite. I can highly recommend him, in fact, I hired him for further lock replacements around the house. I am very satisfied with Ron and his work. Thank you! Imre"

"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!"

"I would like to recognize employee Doug A at SafeStreet/ADT. We’ve had an old security system sitting in our house for over 15 years without service or functionality. He took the time to explain the differences between how the old systems work and how the new systems work. He was patient with us, and we are happy customers."

"Sam went above and beyond. He suggested (without pressuring) upgrading my phone, cable and internet cabinet to be more modular and add backup. Work was professional and reasonably priced. Sam really knows his stuff; after my next phase of home improvement, I’m bringing him back to install a security system!"

"My alarm installer Conner was very easy to work with. He was on the job site on time. He explained how the system work clearly. He took the time to hide all the wires and cleaned as he go. I'm happy with his installation. We highly recommend ADT Authorized Premier Provider to anyone that needs a new alarm or security system."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.

Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.

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.

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.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.
