"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.

"Dana Knight came to my home and did all the above work. He was very polite, knowledgeable of what he was doing and performed the work well and at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him for any Locksmith job that I may have in the future and recommend him to all my friends. Great job, Dana."

"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."

"Went well, except that didn't get call to confirm day & time. Guys were good about letting me know about issues with my roof, gutter system, etc. Just not really happy about them throwing gutter droppings in my flower garden that's all. Otherwise, job was done well."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, many locksmiths offer 24/7 emergency services for business lockouts, broken keys, and security breaches.

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.

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.
