"It didn't go well. I looked out the window on appointment day and saw a van in my driveway. By the time I opened the garage door the van was gone. This person never rang the door the bell. I called the company and the woman that took the call told me her guy showed up but nobody was home. I told her that's not true and she said she will send the man back. About forty minutes later, the man showed up and told me that I needed a new door and opener because of the age and tear. He gave me a quote and I paid half and he told me his technician will come the next day in the morning to install the door and opener since I wanted it done as quickly as possible. The technician didn't show up until in the afternoon. I did not find out that the door they sold to me does not have a handle until we lost power. I called the 'front man', he has a business card that has only David on it, and he told me to send him text message and I did, but he never responded. I called him again and he told me I never asked for door with handle, and that if I needed one he would have to charge extra money. I told him that's not how to conduct business and he got upset and told me to call the company. I called the company and the woman told me the 'technician' will call me. The 'technician' called me and told me the door is not designed to have a handle, and that it is not hard to lift up during power outage. He said he will come back to put a handle on the inside but not outside. The man never showed up. I have tried to talk to the owner/manager, but the woman that takes calls won't let me. She would say that the technician will call me when he's in my area and will hang up before I could say anything else."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

You should replace door locks when you move into a new home since you don’t know who has copies of the key. Other reasons to change your locks include an attempted break-in, when someone moves out of your home, or if you lose a key with an address attached to it.

It’s best to avoid using oil-based lubricants within a lock because they attract larger amounts of dust and debris. When this occurs, it can make it harder for you to operate the lock, or it can even cause damage to the internal locking mechanism. A dry lubricant is the ideal solution instead.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

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.
