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

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

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.

Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

A deadbolt has a different design, construction, and security level than a regular lock. Regular locks are mostly used for interior doors around the home, like bedrooms and bathrooms, and they usually include a locking mechanism on the inside. While regular locks are easy to use and install, they provide little security. 

A deadbolt adds a layer of security and is most commonly used on exterior doors. The installation is typically more complicated, but they hold up to wear and tear.
