He stood by the quote that he gave us, unlike others who kept adding to the bill. After three other locksmiths who charged huge rates and never fixed the door...Paul was reasonable and the door lock finally works!!! I kept his card and sent a copy to several friends.

"Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths came to unlock my door that I locked myself out of. He was fast, efficient and courteous. He observed all COVID-19 safety protocols too. What else could you ask for in a locksmith. The price not outrageous either ($110). I would highly recommend Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths."

"Home Fixers was very efficient and professional. I would highly recommend them. They came out first and gave us a very thorough estimate and then scheduled time to perform all the work in one day. Hans, the craftsman we had, was very courteous and the work he performed was excellent and he cleaned everything up afterwards. In our opinion, Home Fixers was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to contact them again if I had a home repair necessary.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

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.

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.

Find a vetted and trusted locksmith to work on your home so you can feel comfortable and safe. Hire a professional with these qualifications:

Search a verified directory of locksmiths near you, like those on Angi.
Check for an Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) logo on their website or company logo.
Read company reviews. You can also check their social media pages.
Ask for a pro’s credentials, insurance, licensure, and customer testimonials.
Check if the locksmith is knowledgeable about various topics, from decorative locks to the newest technologies on the market.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.
