"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people 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."

"Outstanding Service! I submitted a request to fix a front storm door that wouldn’t open, and this handyman called me almost immediately after I posted. His communication was excellent from the start—professional, prompt, and friendly. I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having a stranger in my home, but he instantly put me at ease both during our initial conversation & when I met him in person. When I asked if he worked on other types of projects, he said yes & suggested I make a list for us to review when he arrived. He showed up right on time, quickly diagnosed the issue with my storm door, & had it fixed in no time. Then he efficiently worked through the rest of my list—from lighting & overhead garage doors to back garage doors, shed hinge repairs, & installing security cameras—handling each item with skill & care. He did an amazing job on everything-was very professional & an absolute pleasure to work with. Will definitely use again for other projects & HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.
