"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."

"I cannot recommend Bob Phalan highly enough! I originally hired him to fix a few doors in my home that I thought were warped and wouldn’t close properly. It turned out the problem was more complicated than I expected—the door frames weren’t aligned correctly—but Bob quickly assessed the situation, explained the issue clearly, and developed a plan to fix everything. He worked efficiently and effectively, and now all the doors operate perfectly. Bob is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also personable and easy to work with. He took the time to explain what he was doing as he went, which I really appreciated. On top of that, his pricing was very fair—no surprises, just excellent work. The combination of his professionalism, expertise, and friendly demeanor makes this a full 5-star experience from start to finish!"

"I had reached out to Derek and he was extremely responsive and very helpful in his suggestions. He is very knowledgeable and had all the tools to fix our garage door and the shed door which needed fixing. He is very punctual and stuck to the time of the appointment. I will definitely reach out to Derek for any future issues and projects. Definitely recommend him. Thanks Derek, much appreciated!!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

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. 

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.
