"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

It depends on what type of keyless entry it is and if the locksmith has the proper tools to remove a keypad entry lock since some are more advanced than others. However, locksmiths can typically work around keyless entries to vehicles, so it depends on what type of keyless entry system needs opening.

Standard residential deadbolt locks come with a steel bolt that locks your door into place using a key (or keypad) on one side and a thumb turn on the other. When you lock it, the bolt slides into a strike plate on your door jamb to secure your door shut.

Although you should rekey your locks after moving into a new home, you may feel more comfortable replacing the locks entirely. Here are some other scenarios when you should replace your locks rather than rekey them:

  • When someone moves out of your home.

  • There are too many copies of the existing key.

  • Your home experiences any type of break-in.

  • You lose your key with the address on it.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

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.
