"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

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

Find a vetted and trusted locksmith to work on your home so you can feel comfortable and safe. Hire a professional with these qualifications:

  • Search a verified directory of locksmiths near you, like those on Angi. 

  • Check for an Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) logo on their website or company logo.

  • Read company reviews. You can also check their social media pages.

  • Ask for a pro’s credentials, insurance, licensure, and customer testimonials. 

  • Check if the locksmith is knowledgeable about various topics, from decorative locks to the newest technologies on the market.
