"I saw Gerry's reviews online and needed help with both installing a scmartlock, but also assisting in fixing the rent strike plate opening to allow the smart lock to close easily. I initially sent a message on Angie's list messaging and he quickly responded. He was good about responding through this means in a very timely manner. The day of the appointment he texted me with and ETA. After explaining the issue with the door and the deadbolt having trouble closing (unless you pull the door in slightly) and giving him the new smart lock, he began work. He was focused and did a great job. I would hire him again if I needed locksmith type work done."

"Had a front door lock that’s been sticking for a long time. The last locksmith I hired “fixed” it but the fix only worked for about a week. Got A-Best Locksmith through Angi. Gary came out the same day I contacted him. It took him a very short time to figure out the problem and fix it. I am sooooo glad to finally be able to lock and unlock my door easily! Highly recommend A-Best. Responsive, professional, know what they’re doing, and their price is very reasonable!"

"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 can't recommend Kevin enough! He’s been an absolute lifesaver with all the work he’s done around my house. He repaired my entire fence, installed a new bathroom sink, fixed the garbage disposal, and even worked on my gate door, outlets, and outside lights. Kevin is incredibly honest, reliable, and responsible – everything you want in a handyman. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and I’m beyond impressed with the results. If you’re looking for someone who gets the job done right, Kevin’s your guy!"

"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 +++++"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

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.

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. 

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.
