"Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths came to unlock my door that I locked myself out of. He was fast, efficient and courteous. He observed all COVID-19 safety protocols too. What else could you ask for in a locksmith. The price not outrageous either ($110). I would highly recommend Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths."

"Home Fixers was very efficient and professional.  I would highly recommend them.  They came out first and gave us a very thorough estimate and then scheduled time to perform all the work in one day.  Hans, the craftsman we had, was very courteous and the work he performed was excellent and he cleaned everything up afterwards. In our opinion, Home Fixers was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to contact them again if I had a home repair necessary.

"Jason's craftsmanship is superb!!! I live in a home built in 1956 and have a beautiful solid wood door.  Ok, the beauty was under layers of paint and neglect but he also saw the beauty in what it could be...and he has the skill to make that happen!
Too often there are 'handymen' who want to make small fixes but Jason is a skilled carpenter and I would highly recommend him. The door frame was crooked as the house foundation had settled and the area under the door would shift with periods of rain/dry weather.  Not only did he restore the door, but he was able to fix this problem as well.  He had to use a more modern feature to help with the gaping of the door, but he incorporated it well to go with the older look of the door.
I am also impressed with Jason's creativity as he came up with a wonderful industrial finish for the door. The painters he used to help finish the work were also both professional and solid in their skill.  If you have a project where you need true craftsmanship, I would call this professional carpenter for the job!!!
He also gave me a great price to install pre-made cabinets over my washer/dryer as well as cut and install a cat door in the door leading to my garage. I was so glad he installed the cabinets because as with most older homes, the were surprises with the wall the cabinets were being hung on. But with his skill, he was able to securely fasten the cabinets and they look great!
Rapid Remodeling is reliable and works with your schedule. The price was for the front door restoration was fair and comparable to other quotes however, I choose Rapid Remodeling as he actually listened to me and discussed the project with me. When he returned to do the actual work, he remembered me and what we had previously discussed. I did not feel pressured to that I was being 'sold' additional work as I have felt with other contractors/handymen.
I will definitely use Rapid Remodeling again!

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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). 

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.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

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.

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300
