"Dave from Home Doctors was fabulous. He was reasonably priced, always on time and extremely flexible when we changed our project. He removed our carpets, put in 770 square feet of new floors and remodeled our bathroom. At the last minute we added the installation of 10 closet doors, which he spray painted. I would recommend him without hesitation."

"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."

"You will want to trust your house to DJD Restorers! Tuckpointing is a process that must be done right or you will get sloppy results. Speaking to David, he is so knowledgeable about what needs to be done. He saw what was done to our brickwork by another contractor who I regret hiring. We cancelled our contract and hired DJD. David assured us that our brick was repairable. His crew came out replaced damaged bricks and did an awesome job of grinding out the joints and replacing with mortar in the color we chose, which was buff. The final result was just simply amazing and we are so happy we found this company. They were very responsible, on time, clean up well, and MOST IMPORTANTLY do precise work. They even removed our downspouts to grind and tuck point behind them and replace them. We highly recommend DJD Restorers for your brickwork to be done with care and professionalism."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Any type of dead bolt lock provides the highest level of safety for a single device. However, it’s also important to determine a lock's grade. Locks can come in either Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, which indicates how durable it is and if it’s constructed solidly. Safety experts recommend choosing locks based on Grade 1, which offers the highest level of durability.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key. 

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.

Rekeying door locks yourself costs a fraction of what you would expect to pay a locksmith. On average, it costs between $50 to $100 to hire a local locksmith to rekey your house, though labor costs may vary based on where you live. For a DIY solution, you can expect to spend $11 to $25 on a rekeying kit.
