"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"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

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.

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.
