"Bought a new house and knew from the home inspection I would need a little work to get the openers operational. PJ was very quick to respond to my inquiry and came by on a Sunday to take a look. He quoted me a price right then and there, and said he could do the job now. He had the doors operational in no time. I also appreciated the fact that he did not try to upsell me on things I did not need."

"Great.  Chuck was able to work well with a difficult tenant of mine.  I since have called him back for a more elaborate job which they delivered on time.   They have become my go to and I can't recommend their services any more!

"I just moved in to my apartment in Brookline & needed to change my locks. I called Comm Lock & made an appointment to change my locks for Wednesday, the day after we move in. While moving in on Tuesday, we lost the only set of keys we had and locked our selves out. I called Comm Lock & asked them if they could unlock our door. Even though we called at 9:30 Pm, they came over, let us in, & changed the locks on all 3 doors for us and gave us matching keys for all 3 doors. The technician was very pleasant and even gave us ideas on where to eat since we were new to the area. Jolie"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

Several types of deadbolts are available, including single-cylinder, double-cylinder, rim, smart, and electronic deadbolt locks. The most common type found in U.S. homes is the single-cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior. A double-cylinder deadbolt features two locking mechanisms and requires a key to be operated from both the inside and the outside.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

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.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.
