"I needed the lock replaced on the door that leads from the garage to the house. I called them and arranged a time. They came out, replaced it, and I was quite happy. The only wrinkle is that I think it's better to come a bit late than too early. I had other things to do but returned early, and I'm glad I did because he was early, too. Maybe specifying a range is safer. They did a great job, and I will hire them again."

"It went superbly. The process was smooth from start to finish. All of the Preferred employees were very professional and I truly felt as if they valued my business. The price was slightly more expensive than some other companies I met with, however, when you add in the quality of their windows along with their excellent customer service, it was well worth it and I would do business with them again and again. I highly recommend Preferred Window and Door."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Security experts recommend deadbolt door locks on entry doors because they provide the best security. Deadbolts can prevent most types of forced entry and make your doors harder to lockpick.

You should replace door locks when you move into a new home since you don’t know who has copies of the key. Other reasons to change your locks include an attempted break-in, when someone moves out of your home, or if you lose a key with an address attached to it.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

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.
