Customers say: Quick response
"Poorly ran shop with an even more disrespectful customer service. Had this company replace a key at my rental property and when the technician was at the property he told my tenant "Your landlord must not be to smart if he's having me fix a something you didn't care about" When I called the company to complain I was met with and UNBELIEVABLY disrespectful person. I was given hostile tone and a complete unwillingness to accept my complaint. I was so upset with the conversation I had to hang up before anything was fixed. Later that night I was met with and EVEN MORE disrespectful text messages stating "This is a joke" and "Your complaint is not real". When I stated I will be making a complaint with the BBB he stated "Do what you want, we have been here for a long time. It won't mean anything" And if that wasent bad enough he made crazy inappropriate comments about my business. I can't fathom treating anyone the way I was treated. Never go here."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there’s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it’s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.

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

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. 

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.
