"I left a voicemail for Paul explaining that the vault door was jammed and that my staff and I were stuck at our Army Reserve Unit until we could get someone to come fix it so we could close and arm it. Even though it was 1800 hrs when we called, he had not only responded, but started travel to our location by the time he did. It was no more than 20 minutes between the end of my voicemail and the minute Paul pulled into our parking lot. Paul is a true pro. Polite and professional through and through, he didn't even complain when we told him that we weren't able to let him see the vault combination (obviously unorthodox, but hey, we are still the Army.) Instead of being insulted, he found a very creative way to put our combination holder's mind at ease without a word of complaint or protest, and even took some extra time at the end to provide us some maintenance tips to avoid requiring his late night services again."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

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.

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
