If your house roof leaks you call a roofer when your car engine breaks you call a mechanic. Some jobs are better left to the experts who are skilled to handle the job appropriately. Similarly, call us when you require Car Key Replacement. You will find that like the roofer or the mechanic, we have what it takes to do a great job because this is what we specialize in.

"My car key stopped responding I was panicking. Called this service and they showed up quickly Reprogrammed the key and got me back on the road. So grateful"

Owner operated. No subs. Charges by the hour.

"Art has done a number of projects for me over the past several years. From installing an outdoor light fixture, re-attaching an indoor stair rail, securing loose hand shower bar, to recommending matching grout color for repairing grout that was crumbling in spots, Art's work has always been top notch. Growing up, my father was a perfectionist and always went the extra mile to repair things right. Art is the same way. He will do things right, and if it is something he doesn't feel confident about, he'll let you know that too, rather than trying to tackle something that he isn't sure he can do right. Highly recommend!"

Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey. 

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

There’s no set time limit for when you should replace your locks, but there are several indicators that it’s time to swap them. If you’re moving into a new home or have a roommate moving out, it’s smart to change the locks. If you experience a break-in or other crime, you should change it then too, or if you ever lose your keys. Eventually, locks can wear out, so it’s ideal to replace them after several years of use or one of these circumstances occurs.

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.
