"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

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.
