Serving the tri-state area since 1933 providing locksmith, alarm, video and access control services.

"I had an absolutely terrible experience with this place, and I would strongly recommend avoiding it. I called ahead for a simple key to be made for my 2009 car, and was quoted $45 over the phone. But when I got there, the price suddenly jumped to $144 due to various "add-ons" they conveniently didn’t mention upfront. Okay, fine, I decided to go ahead with it. I asked how long it would take because I had an appointment in an hour to release balloons for my girlfriend’s son who passed away. They told me 15-20 minutes. After waiting for more than 40 minutes, I went to check on the progress. That’s when I found out the person struggling with the key was actually the owner. I simply asked how much longer it would take, and his response? He told me I was “being pushy” and that I wasn’t helping the situation. I wasn’t being rude, I was just asking for a time update. At this point, I realized I was going to be late for my appointment , so I said I couldn’t wait any longer and would just come back. The owner got visibly upset and tried to tell me I still owed him for cutting the key, despite the fact that the key didn’t even work! I told him I wasn’t going to pay for something that was useless, and his response? He called me an “*******”! He tried to pressure me to pay for services that he didn't do. I asked if he was the owner, and when he said yes, I told him that’s not how you treat customers if you want to earn future business. It was honestly shocking to see such unprofessionalism, especially coming from someone who owns the business. He couldn’t have cared less about providing good customer service, and his attitude was completely disrespectful. If you want to be treated poorly, with terrible customer service, and a bait-and-switch pricing tactic, this is the place to go. But if you want to spend your money where you’re treated with basic decency and respect, take your business elsewhere."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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. 

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.
