B and C Carpentry is a family owned business. We started our business in 1997 part time and began doing it full time in 2005. Our owner, Bobb, has professional experience in most facets of the carpentry industry. Bobb worked full time for over two decades for a few other contractors where he developed the skill and expertise that makes him a great leader for B and C Carpentry. We offer free estimates for most work. We do charge a one way trip charge for service related jobs. We currently do not bid on jobs over a certain size due to having limited man power available. Call with the project you have in mind and we will gladly assess over the phone whether it is a job we can accommodate. Most jobs require an up front deposit and final payment upon completion. If the payment schedule is other than that you will be informed up front before the paperwork is signed.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

There are different types of deadbolts. The most common type is a single-cylinder deadbolt, which you may recognize on your front door. This type of lock has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. A double-cylinder deadbolt has two locking mechanisms and requires a key to engage on the inside as well as the outside. 

Security systems are one of the measures that deter burglars the most. Research suggests most burglars look for signs of a security system before going in, although the presence of a security system doesn’t automatically mean they won’t enter the home. However, a security system with cameras can decrease the chance of a burglary overall.

Replacing your locks isn’t always a necessary option. You can usually save money by rekeying locks instead of replacing the hardware. You should consider rekeying the locks instead of replacing them in the following scenarios:

  • You want to upgrade your existing locks.

  • You have a lock you don’t want to replace.

  • You recently bought a home and want to change the locks.

  • You lost your key.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.
