"A total lifesaver! If I could give Luka from TD Locksmith more than 5 stars, I would. I found myself stranded with my car after losing all of my keys. I called TD Locksmith, expecting a long wait and a massive bill, but I was completely blown away by the service. A young locksmith named Luka arrived incredibly fast. He was polite, highly professional, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He worked quickly to get me back on the road and provided me with a fully functioning key really fast. The best part? The price was absolutely excellent, especially considering it was an emergency where I had zero keys left. Luka did a phenomenal job, and I highly recommend him and TD Locksmith to anyone who needs fast, reliable, and fairly priced auto services."

"Mr. Raimondi was spectacular. He was prompt. His quotes were straightforward and reasonable. He answered questions and gave advice on things we could consider doing. We hired him to assist with a basement remodel and will be working with him on a few more projects to be done."

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

"Door and frame both needed aligning in which a cold draft was evident, thought I may need a new door and frame. Gary promptly returned my call, willing to come out on Sunday, and was on time. Assessed the situation over the phone and online, reaffirmed on site, and promptly went to about his repair, allowed me to inspect, and cleaned up the work area. SUPERB JOB!! Highly recommend G and G to anyone who requires quality craftsmanship on just about any property needs. He does it all, from rough carpentry, painting, flooring and carpentry. We will be hiring Gary for our next home project."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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.

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

Rekeying door locks yourself costs a fraction of what you would expect to pay a locksmith. On average, it costs between $50 to $100 to hire a local locksmith to rekey your house, though labor costs may vary based on where you live. For a DIY solution, you can expect to spend $11 to $25 on a rekeying kit.
