Customers say: Quick response
"Poorly ran shop with an even more disrespectful customer service. Had this company replace a key at my rental property and when the technician was at the property he told my tenant "Your landlord must not be to smart if he's having me fix a something you didn't care about" When I called the company to complain I was met with and UNBELIEVABLY disrespectful person. I was given hostile tone and a complete unwillingness to accept my complaint. I was so upset with the conversation I had to hang up before anything was fixed. Later that night I was met with and EVEN MORE disrespectful text messages stating "This is a joke" and "Your complaint is not real". When I stated I will be making a complaint with the BBB he stated "Do what you want, we have been here for a long time. It won't mean anything" And if that wasent bad enough he made crazy inappropriate comments about my business. I can't fathom treating anyone the way I was treated. Never go here."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.
