"I do not typically write reviews but Locksmith downtown was excellent! They were incredibly responsive and solved my issue very quickly. They were very nice and professional and I would recommend their services to anyone!"
"I called Pride on the advice of a local realtor. An upcoming commercial building sale required work to be done immediately. We had a jammed lock on an exterior door and needed a locking knob on an interior door. I called on Thursday, needing the work done on Monday. I left a voicemail message, and the callback came in minutes. On Monday morning, the work was done and I had an emailed receipt. As a plus, both locks were keyed the same! I learned in a call that they do door repairs and alarm wiring too. They have over 20 years experience and are happy to explain their work. I will definitely use Pride Locksmith in the future!"
"Went smoothly. He gave me info on the lock that was there and the lock he was installing. Told me I would be able to easily make additional keys at hardware stores for the lock"
"I took advantage of the offer that Morris doors had for re-keying / changing the locks of two doors. When he arrived he said that since one of the locks had a lock on the inside and the outside he considered it two locks which seemed odd to me. I ended up paying more for the service then i expected so this put a sour taste in my mouth. Otherwise the quality of the work performed was very good. "
"I called Dabbs Lock to try to make an appointment after 5, and was transferred to an answering service. I left a message with them (a person) saying that I was interested in getting some doors re-keyed. I left my name and number. Dabbs Lock never got back to me. I never tried to call back, but went with Union Square Locksmith, who returned my call immediately and was very prompt."
Yes, with better technology now available, it’s possible to add a smart lock on your sliding glass door. Smart locks can be easy for almost everyone in the family to operate and can connect to other safety features in the home, like smart lights. Plus, they’re harder for would-be criminals to pick. However, keep in mind that smart locks can potentially be hacked, and some completely rely on phones or Wi-Fi, which can be an issue if the power goes out.
If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.
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.
Commercial locksmith services range from $75 to $500, depending on the job's complexity, such as key duplication, lock installation, or access control system setup.
If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key:
They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.
They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.
They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key.
