Lock Doctor LLC is a local, family owned & operated locksmith business. Our mobile service is available Monday through Saturday from 6 AM - midnight. Our shop hours are Monday through Friday 9 AM - 5 PM and Saturday 9 AM - 2 PM.

"A different locksmith company quoted me $200 more for the same service and they were unavailable until the following day. Lockdoctor charged me a fair price and arrived within a few hours. Michael and his work partner were professional, friendly, and had my car rekeyed in no time. They didn't have the exact fob for my car in stock, but were able to give me a temporary key until they could get the correct one ordered and delivered. In two days they came out to my work to bring me the correct fob, and even reprogrammed my old key that had gone missing and was found! I'm so thankful for their help and would recommend them to anyone in need of locksmith services for their vehicle"

Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

We specialize in anything with a lock and a key. Privately owned since 1960. Five shop-techs in store and five service-techs for onsite service.

"Disappointed in Cooks Locksmith Services… I got a new car key and the shell they gave me didn’t even match my car. The plastic broke in less than a month. I went back to get a new one and was told the product was bad and the plastic was cheap so they weren’t surprised it broke… wow. After waiting for an hour for them to cut a key that would actually work, I was getting pretty aggravated. They took off my glove box cover and didn’t put it all the way back on until we asked another guy to. At the end of all this, I had to pay for my new key - the same one they admitted had broken because of its crappy quality."

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.

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.

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.

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.

While a strong conventional deadbolt offers enough security for most homeowners, if you’re looking for extra features beyond just simple locking, smart deadbolts are the way to go. Smart deadbolts allow for keyless entry using your phone or a code, remote access in case someone is locked out, and features like temporary access codes, automatic locking, tamper alerts and entry-exit monitoring. Smart deadbolts also come with downsides: they rely on batteries and wireless networks and are potentially vulnerable to hacking by skilled home intruders.
