"Paul was very responsive, polite and knowledgeable about his craft. I called him directly after making the appointment with home advisor to arrange an earlier time. He gave me a two hour window and called before coming. Paul wore a mask while working on my back door lock . He solved the problem quickly. I will call him again if I have a need for a locksmith."

"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."

"June 2020. A Windy City knight-in-shining-armor story. My mom is on home hospice and it's emotionally ravaging. I took a walk to clear my head and lost my keys-locking me out/mom and dog in. Building manager called a vendor locksmith who got me in by picking lock after nearly two hours of panic time. He left. Once inside, I used my spare to lock the deadbolt but then the bolt broke and I was now locked inside. I called four 24/hour locksmiths-tried to go local as I'm in Western suburbs. Two never responded. One locksmith barely spoke English, wanted more than $200 and was more than an hour away. Then I got Adam. He helped me dismantle the complicated, vintage Schlage deadbolt lock so I could get out - spent a half hour on the phone with me. Then Dan showed up (wearing a mask, thank you) to replace pins and repair the lock during a medical emergency with my mom. He quickly finished and gave me two replacement keys. I was borderline hysterical during all of this and they were extremely knowledgable, patient, responsive, fairly-priced and sensitive to the issues I was facing. They have my business forever."

"Despite having some technical difficulties in the beginning the job was completed with the utmost professionalism. I did have to place a call to have the Master Locksmith return to fix and complete the job. The original locksmith made some minor errors that were promptly corrected. Apparently he tried to rekey locks that needed to be replaced. The company bought the new hardware and did not charge me for it. I will definitely call them when it is time to convert my doors to FOB entry. Good service, good technicians, and a good company."

"Locked my keys in my car in a parking lot and had no idea what to do. Called these guys and they showed up in under 30 minutes. Got me back in my car fast, no damage, and the price was totally fair. Will absolutely call them again if I ever need a locksmith."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

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

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.

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.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.
