"Despite the nuance of a unique brand of smart lock, the locksmith Lev was able to discern the issue of the initial install of the smart lock. Notably, before leaving, he noted issue with the physical key mechanism and instead of leaving he took the smart lock apart again to finally solve the problem once and for all. I'm highly impressed and grateful for his kindness, patience, and attention to detail. THANK YOU LEV. "

As a member of the Massachusetts Locksmith Association (MLA) for 25 years I went from being the Marketing and Promotional seat to being elected President two years ago. I take this honor very deeply and lead with respect for all of our members and our business associates. I've been the proud recipient of the "Angie's List Super Service Award" every year consecutively since 2003! The first job I ever had was in my uncle's variety store in the nineteen sixties. My uncle's taught me to treat each customer as family and as I would want my family members treated. I carry this forward today as I try to make recommendations to my customers with only their needs and safety in mind. I founded Bonded Lock Service in 1992 as a single father, raising my 6-year-old daughter. After working for MIT Lincoln Lab for twelve years as a Metallurgical/Electro-Optical Technician. As a technician there I was also a union steward for numerous other technicians in my building . I learned my trade from another locksmith as an apprentice, and worked for him (unpaid) for nine months, 5 days a week to learn the trade. Besides that I have a Certificate in Locksmithing from the "Locksmithing Institute of America" and several others earned over the years via Mass Locksmith Association/Yankee Security. I also hold a "Home Improvement Contractors License" with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Presently Public Relations/ Marketing Chairman of Massachusetts Locksmith Association Besides me I have one "part-timer" Fred, who is a former Chelsea MA police officer and 2 other sub contractors. Bonded Lock Service became incorporated in the state of Massachusetts in 2002. While we've done jobs up into New Hampshire, west to Wachusett and down to the Cape Cod Canal. Today, I'm the grandfather of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl.

"Really fast and excellent service!!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

A deadbolt lock is typically considered more secure than a regular lock based on its internal construction. Each deadbolt type has varying levels of security, ranging from withstanding a small amount of force to those that can take on multiple strikes and greater force. Regular locks provide little to no security and are typically used more for easy entry and simple installation.

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.

A smart lock is a variation of a traditional lock, and since it uses similar locking mechanisms, it’s technically not any safer. The difference is that a smart lock requires a login instead of a physical key. Some smart locks have added safety features, like shutting down after too many attempts with the wrong code. Some smart locks are considered harder to pick than traditional locks, which can further deter intruders.

Smart locks offer around the same level of safety as conventional locks with keys. The best way to secure your door locks is to combine routine locking mechanisms with other home safety features, like lighting, motion sensors, security cameras, and window and door sensors. 

Smart locks have the upper hand when it comes to convenience—you won't have to worry about your key not turning in the lock or fumbling around in your bag for your keys—but beyond that, any door with deadbolts will offer a similar degree of security.
