"Jacob from Your Neighborhood Locksmith was great with communication. He was prompt to contact me and schedule service. He communicated frequently to provide updates on his ETA. He arrived on time and completed the initial project within an hour and without damaging the door. He was courteous, efficient and flexible, willingly fixing another lock for me when asked. Would definitely work with Jacob from Your Neighborhood Locksmith again."

"Bob Phalan has been our go-to handyman for the past 3-4 years. First of all, he is the rare contractor/workman who communicates and shows up when he says he will, often confirming the night before or calling when he’s on his way. We greatly appreciate his reliability. Over the years, Bob has done such a variety of projects for us that I can’t enumerate them all; but in the past year he has done painting, roof repair, carpentry, power washing, gutter cleaning and more. Bob is very knowledgeable about materials, tools and processes. No matter what the project is, Bob always seems to have the right tools for the job. He’s very organized and cleans up the work area when he’s done. I think his skills and workmanship are outstanding and I highly recommend him."

"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."

He was methodical, detailed, careful and took pride in his work. Additionally, he was extremely respectful and cleaned up each day after a long day of working. I highly recommend TJ Method."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

Smart deadbolts are a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking more convenience, flexibility, and advanced features than a traditional deadbolt can provide. While a strong conventional deadbolt offers sufficient security for most, smart deadbolts provide significant upgrades.

Key benefits include keyless entry via smartphone, keypads, or biometric sensors, and the ability to lock or unlock your door remotely. You can also manage access for guests by creating temporary codes, eliminating the need for physical keys and the risk of them being lost or duplicated. Many models integrate with smart home systems and offer features like automatic locking, entry-exit monitoring, and tamper alerts with encryption for enhanced security.

However, there are downsides to consider. Smart deadbolts are more expensive than their traditional counterparts and rely on batteries and wireless networks to function. This dependency introduces potential vulnerabilities, such as hacking by skilled intruders and privacy concerns. Installation can also be more complex. Despite these drawbacks, the added layer of convenience and protection makes them a compelling option for many.

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.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.
