"They could not do the job, but charged $75 for the service call. The service man was nice and professional though. They referred me to another company they worked with and said they could do the job. When that service man came out, he said they would not do the job unless I bought a new patio door for $2500. I did not hire them for that. A lot of time wasted while the subzero weather was going on. I have since found a handyman that is going to repair the sliding door."

"I had a great experience with this company, specifically thanks to their technician, Diego. He was highly professional, efficient, and fixed my door hinge in less than an hour. What really impressed me was his expertise; he went above and beyond by giving me some incredibly helpful recommendations on how to properly restore the vintage lock and handle on my 70-year-old door. Fantastic service all around. Highly recommended!"

"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"ADT is the best company to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

"I hired these gentlemen to replace damaged drywall, trim and paint from a backup we experienced last September. They worked around our schedule and made the process very easy. The craftsmanship is top notch. They took suggestions and recommendations gracefully. They constantly asked questions about what I needed and made sure I was happy with their work as it progressed. They are of the highest quality and caliber."

"Jose took on a difficult task of creating two cabinet doors to match existing doors in paint and pattern. He was always on time and kept us in the loop for any delays etc. We are so happy. And Jose is a wonderful person to boot. Here are before and after photos:"

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.
