"I called Stephen at "A Born Locksmith" to discuss his fee for work on my father-in-laws Pontiac G6. I asked him to explain to me what work was performed as the request was to gain access to the car. He indicated he had to go inside the door panel and align the mechanism so the outside door handle would work. He said all of his work was inside the door panel. The door will open now but only from the outside. He indicated it would have to go to someone else for the additional repair. He taped up the door handle on the inside of the car, so my 84 year old father-in-law has to reach through his window to open his door (I guess he completed the work he was requested to do). He was onsite doing this work for approximately 1 hour, replaced no parts other than cutting a new key that was not requested, and charged $325. His charges were not discussed up front and my father-in-law was quite surprised at his charges. I frankly believe he was taking advantage of an elderly individual. My father-in-law and I are appalled at his charges. When I spoke to him he never offered to reimburse anything and was quite rude in his response. Please do not call this company (individual) as he indicates he is A+ accredited on his profile. He clearly is not rated by BBB at an A+ and is way over priced especially to the elderly. He should be ashamed of himself."

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.

The cost to rekey locks on your home is $40 to $100 plus $15 to $40 per lock. Rekeying means you can keep your existing locks but simply change the key. You’ll still need a pro to cut a new key and rekey the lock, but no new hardware is required. Rekeying is a good option if:

  • You need a quick way to upgrade your current locks

  • You have a quality lock that works well

  • You recently moved in and want to ensure you’re the only one with access

  • You lost a key

As with any computer, smart locks can be hacked by someone with the technical skills to do so, but most people do not have that ability, making smart locks relatively safe. If you have any concerns about a compromised smart lock, opt for an encrypted smart lock, change your Wi-Fi password, and make sure that you only give out your password to trusted family and friends.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

You may be able to get a broken key out of a lock by yourself, depending on the situation. If a portion of the key is still protruding from your lock, try lubricating the keyway and using pliers or even a bobby pin to pull the key out of the hole. If you have jigsaw blades handy, you can also try using those to grab onto the stuck key and pull it out. 

But, if neither option works or you can’t reach the key, your only option is to call a locksmith for help.
