"Paul was very responsive, polite and knowledgeable about his craft. I called him directly after making the appointment with home advisor to arrange an earlier time. He gave me a two hour window and called before coming. Paul wore a mask while working on my back door lock . He solved the problem quickly. I will call him again if I have a need for a locksmith."

"Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths came to unlock my door that I locked myself out of. He was fast, efficient and courteous. He observed all COVID-19 safety protocols too. What else could you ask for in a locksmith. The price not outrageous either ($110). I would highly recommend Matt F. from Chicago Locksmiths."

"June 2020. A Windy City knight-in-shining-armor story. My mom is on home hospice and it's emotionally ravaging. I took a walk to clear my head and lost my keys-locking me out/mom and dog in. Building manager called a vendor locksmith who got me in by picking lock after nearly two hours of panic time. He left. Once inside, I used my spare to lock the deadbolt but then the bolt broke and I was now locked inside. I called four 24/hour locksmiths-tried to go local as I'm in Western suburbs. Two never responded. One locksmith barely spoke English, wanted more than $200 and was more than an hour away. Then I got Adam. He helped me dismantle the complicated, vintage Schlage deadbolt lock so I could get out - spent a half hour on the phone with me. Then Dan showed up (wearing a mask, thank you) to replace pins and repair the lock during a medical emergency with my mom. He quickly finished and gave me two replacement keys. I was borderline hysterical during all of this and they were extremely knowledgable, patient, responsive, fairly-priced and sensitive to the issues I was facing. They have my business forever."

"Locked my keys in my car in a parking lot and had no idea what to do. Called these guys and they showed up in under 30 minutes. Got me back in my car fast, no damage, and the price was totally fair. Will absolutely call them again if I ever need a locksmith."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Changing door locks is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It’s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That’s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

Smart deadbolts are a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking more convenience, flexibility, and advanced features than a traditional deadbolt can provide. While a strong conventional deadbolt offers sufficient security for most, smart deadbolts provide significant upgrades.

Key benefits include keyless entry via smartphone, keypads, or biometric sensors, and the ability to lock or unlock your door remotely. You can also manage access for guests by creating temporary codes, eliminating the need for physical keys and the risk of them being lost or duplicated. Many models integrate with smart home systems and offer features like automatic locking, entry-exit monitoring, and tamper alerts with encryption for enhanced security.

However, there are downsides to consider. Smart deadbolts are more expensive than their traditional counterparts and rely on batteries and wireless networks to function. This dependency introduces potential vulnerabilities, such as hacking by skilled intruders and privacy concerns. Installation can also be more complex. Despite these drawbacks, the added layer of convenience and protection makes them a compelling option for many.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

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.
