"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"ADT is the best company 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."

"Some people might think $85.00 is too much to charge to unlock a vehicle.  Although a person should consider these factors: first, he traveled about 40 miles/ about a hour drive to reach my home.  Not all locksmiths would have done this.  Second, VW's are notoriously hard to unlock, some locksmiths will not even work on them.  Third,  prior to contacting Mr. Lock, I had contacted  the local (Greencastle) locksmith who tried a couple of methods, but gave up after approximately 30 minutes.  To his credit, he didn't charge me anything since he wasn't able to unlock the car.  Garth, on the other hand continuously tried different tools and methods until he found the correct combination to unlock the car.  Which sounds really simple right?  Not even close, Garth worked a solid 2.5 hours but refused to let the lock win :) .  While I did assist him in a minor capacity periodically , it was his skills and determination that was the key to success.  As a result, I was very happy with the quoted price, his level of professionalism, the promptness and quality of service.  I would not hesitate to use Mr. Lock again and would highly recommend them.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.

Security systems are one of the measures that deter burglars the most. Research suggests most burglars look for signs of a security system before going in, although the presence of a security system doesn’t automatically mean they won’t enter the home. However, a security system with cameras can decrease the chance of a burglary overall.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

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.
