"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!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

Several types of deadbolts are available, including single-cylinder, double-cylinder, rim, smart, and electronic deadbolt locks. The most common type found in U.S. homes is the single-cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior. A double-cylinder deadbolt features two locking mechanisms and requires a key to be operated from both the inside and the outside.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.
