"Normally I don't write reviews, matter of fact, I probably wrote 5 reviews in my life, but I truly feel that this business takes the upmost pride in his work. I'm unsure how many employees they have working for them, but the gentleman who came out was named Jeremiah (I apologize if I misspelled his name). The first time I used their service was when my son jokingly threw my keys in my car as I was closing the door. Nonetheless, I was impressed with how friendly and caring this man was. He arrived faster (within 15 or so minutes) than was originally said on the phone (which was great because I would have been late for work otherwise). Impressed with the service, I needed to have some fancy security locks installed on my doors (I'm one for privacy), so I called them up to ask about different locks and security information. Like I said, I was very impressed with the lockout service the first time,, so I called them up.. Now, I'm a pretty handy guy. I've done construction in the past so it's not like I don't know what I'm talking about. In the process of changing the locks, I asked him about ways to strengthen the door. I probably should have brought it up prior to him almost finishing the job, but even though he was almost done, he removed everything and installed some "security brackets". I honestly don't remember what they're called, but nonetheless, he took everything apart and installed them, then reinstalled the new locks. This guy was extremely friendly and amazing professional. I definitely would recommend them and I know I will use them again! Jeremiah (sorry if I misspelled your name), if are seeing this, the doors still look nice and strong as ever! Thanks again!!!"

"Choice responded quickly but the insurance plan does not pay for all doors to be re-keyed unless you have very few locks. The number of locks covered by the insurance is determined by keyholes, not doors! (Read your policy!) You will likely have to shell out some money to have this essential new-home service if you have more than four keyholes. The locksmith they called was EXCELLENT and made all our locks completely functional. We will happily hire the locksmith again (R.L Locksmith LLC). We paid $201.81 (plus another $50 for some door re-alignment not included in the re-keying benefit) and Choice paid $100 for the job."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:

  • Type of services required

  • Emergency call fees

  • Home and lock location

  • Number of locks to repair or install

  • Peak hours

  • Type of locks

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.
