"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."

Preferred Window and Door specializes in repair and replacement of windows, entry doors and garage doors, for both residential and commercial.

"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

Changing door locks is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It’s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That’s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

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.

A door lock service is performed by a professional locksmith, and the cost of hiring a locksmith for these kinds of repair tasks usually runs in the $100 to $250 range. It all depends on the type of locks you have, how many locks are included in the service, and where your home is located. Always choose reliable, trustworthy locksmiths, and get a few quotes before making your choice.
