"My daughter locked herself out of her car a bit before midnight at a gas station in a so-so part of town a few weeks ago.  I called John, gave him the location and away he went.  He found her and had her back in her car within a few minutes.  Since she had no cash on her, I gave him my credit card information over the phone, and the price was very reasonable.  He did not charge extra for travel or the time of day.  I would definitely use him again.

"I used Home Advisor on July 2, late in the evening. I was contacted the next morning by Hall's Lock and Key and an appointment was made to have the house locks rekeyed on July 3. Unfortunately, there were bad storms in the area that day. With the next day being the 4th of July, I was afraid I was going to have to wait to get this project done; however, Shane called and offered to come out the morning of the 4th. The work was done within 45 minutes. Shane did a great job. He is fair, honest, friendly, and knowledgeable. He is in the business to get lifelong customers. If you need a reliable locksmith, call Hall's Lock and Key."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key. 

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.
