"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!

"Choice responded quickly but the insurance plan does not pay for all doors to be re-keyed unless you have very few locks. The number of locks covered by the insurance is determined by keyholes, not doors! (Read your policy!) You will likely have to shell out some money to have this essential new-home service if you have more than four keyholes. The locksmith they called was EXCELLENT and made all our locks completely functional. We will happily hire the locksmith again (R.L Locksmith LLC). We paid $201.81 (plus another $50 for some door re-alignment not included in the re-keying benefit) and Choice paid $100 for the job."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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. 

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.

Keyless locks are great for convenience, letting you unlock doors with a code or your phone so you don't need to carry keys around. They also often come with helpful features like temporary codes for guests. On the downside, they can be more costly up front and do require batteries that will eventually need replacing. If you value ease of use and additional security features, keyless locks are worth the investment.

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.
