Serving the tri-state area since 1933 providing locksmith, alarm, video and access control services.

"I had an absolutely terrible experience with this place, and I would strongly recommend avoiding it. I called ahead for a simple key to be made for my 2009 car, and was quoted $45 over the phone. But when I got there, the price suddenly jumped to $144 due to various "add-ons" they conveniently didn’t mention upfront. Okay, fine, I decided to go ahead with it. I asked how long it would take because I had an appointment in an hour to release balloons for my girlfriend’s son who passed away. They told me 15-20 minutes. After waiting for more than 40 minutes, I went to check on the progress. That’s when I found out the person struggling with the key was actually the owner. I simply asked how much longer it would take, and his response? He told me I was “being pushy” and that I wasn’t helping the situation. I wasn’t being rude, I was just asking for a time update. At this point, I realized I was going to be late for my appointment , so I said I couldn’t wait any longer and would just come back. The owner got visibly upset and tried to tell me I still owed him for cutting the key, despite the fact that the key didn’t even work! I told him I wasn’t going to pay for something that was useless, and his response? He called me an “*******”! He tried to pressure me to pay for services that he didn't do. I asked if he was the owner, and when he said yes, I told him that’s not how you treat customers if you want to earn future business. It was honestly shocking to see such unprofessionalism, especially coming from someone who owns the business. He couldn’t have cared less about providing good customer service, and his attitude was completely disrespectful. If you want to be treated poorly, with terrible customer service, and a bait-and-switch pricing tactic, this is the place to go. But if you want to spend your money where you’re treated with basic decency and respect, take your business elsewhere."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

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.
