"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."

"Isaac completed several projects for me in the last 6 months. Including painting and installing vinyl luxury flooring in 2 rooms, installing a storm door, weeding & mulching, fence post repair for privacy fence; removal of split rail fence and install of no maintenance picket fence, installing of outside Christmas lights, and install of insulation and pegboard walls in garage. He was very good about communicating on the jobs. He showed up when he said he would and would text if there was a delay. After the various jobs were completed, he followed up to make sure I was satisfied. I have referred him to friends who were also pleased- he installed a privacy fence for them."

"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

You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there’s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it’s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

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. 

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

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.
