We’re All About YOU, The Customer. In 1980, Home360 was started as a division of the old Perkins Road Hardware store located near the LSU Campus and the Garden District. The business was created to satisfy years of frequent requests from Perkins Road Hardware customers to perform various remodeling and repair projects for their homes, or to installed products purchased from the store. The company was organized and set-up as a franchisor and started with just two craftsmen. Home360 has expanded to be one of the most respected local providers for air conditioning service and repair, roofing repair, general carpentry, plumbing, electrical services, painting and drywall, appliance repair, locksmithing and glasswork or glass replacement in the greater Baton Rouge area. Our 36-year growth in the franchise management of all our home services providers has resulted in us becoming the premier company for well over 135,000 satisfied customers. Everything the Home360 franchise organization does is laser focused on making your experience with us the most positive experience it can be. Whether it is our convenient & prompt firm-time appointments; our highly experienced, courteous & neat franchised craftsmen (Franchise Owners); or our dedication to craftsmanship & high quality standards, Home360 is committed to making you a customer for life. That is why over 135,000 Baton Rouge area customers have repeatedly used our services and referred us to others more than 76% of the time! No other home remodeling, renovation and repair organization can compete with us when it comes to serving you. Our philosophy is simple; deliver friendly, on-time, professional, guaranteed services along with affordable prices. We want to exceed your expectations on every job. Our customer satisfaction philosophy has delivered us the Super Service Awards with Angie's List every year since 2009.

"I had Tim Albert at the house today for a stove problem. He fixed the problem quickly and to my satisfaction. We have used Tim before and always found him professional and honest. We request him by name when we have an appliance issue."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:

  • Type of services required

  • Emergency call fees

  • Home and lock location

  • Number of locks to repair or install

  • Peak hours

  • Type of locks

Security experts recommend deadbolt door locks on entry doors because they provide the best security. Deadbolts can prevent most types of forced entry and make your doors harder to lockpick.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.
