"Seth did a fantastic job on my front door replacement! I had an issue with the previous door dragging on my tile flooring in the front hall (along with the fact that it was very old and falling apart). He helped me pick out a new door and raised it just enough to work with my entryway. Additionally, he reinstalled my existing storm door with better fitment! I highly recommend Seth and EXCEL Handyman!"

"Paul is wired for conscientious work and cost effectivenessâ Itâ s in his makeup. Not only is he a master finished carpenter who does exquisite work, more importantly he looks for opportunities to improve project design and save cost. For our project, he suggested simple low cost ways to improve utility by modifying design and reusing materials. Simple, low cost steps that improved the result by multiples. An important (free) dividend of working with Paul is his knowledge of the other trades. He Integrates well with them and has a network of contacts he can bring in for plumbing, electrical and painting work. We are new to KC so it was a huge bonus to leverage his relationships to get reliable help. You canâ t go wrong with Green Bridge Designs and Paul Kinslow."

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

"Josh contacted, met me, and he started working the first day l reach out. Josh was professional, deliberate and fixed the problem l was having with my front door. He was able to fix it faster than expected so instead of leaving, he proactively offered to fix a few additional problems l was having. Very dependable"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.

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.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

Always consider security a top priority in your home. Perform a safety inspection of your home. Look for broken locks and rusty deadbolts, and take an inventory of who has access to your keys.

Consider the locks on your shed, safe, and other household items. Professional locksmiths can help you determine the best safety and security options for your home and feel at ease.

When a locksmith comes to your home, ensure your safety by having the locksmith show identification and provide an itemized invoice that you can reference later.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.
