"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

There are different types of deadbolts. The most common type is a single-cylinder deadbolt, which you may recognize on your front door. This type of lock has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. A double-cylinder deadbolt has two locking mechanisms and requires a key to engage on the inside as well as the outside. 

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

It’s best to avoid using oil-based lubricants within a lock because they attract larger amounts of dust and debris. When this occurs, it can make it harder for you to operate the lock, or it can even cause damage to the internal locking mechanism. A dry lubricant is the ideal solution instead.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe. They can’t be picked like a traditional lock, and unless a thief can guess your code, it’s pretty tricky to break into a house with a keyless door lock. But that doesn’t mean they come without risk. 

When asking yourself, "Are keyless door locks safe?” consider the style of the system. Hackers could potentially break in if it operates on Wi-Fi, but it’d take some time and effort. You’re also at risk for a power outage, depending on the type of lock. That being said, there are no more risks associated with keyless door locks than a traditional lock.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.
