"The locksmith was here at the front end of the window.  I bought my own locks so there was no need to make new keys.  The locksmith provided exceptional service -- will definitely use again if I have a need.

".Chris  came to my house in about an hour after I called.  He assessed the situation and fixed the problem in about 20 minutes. 
The door latch was loose and extremely hard to open. He removed the latch, assessed the problem and had it in working order in a very short time.
   I have called on him in the past and highly recommend him to anyone who needs a locksmith.

"GREAT PLACE!  Two years ago, a neighbor recommended Baldino's when I wanted to change the locks on my home.  Their Clarendon branch performed that service (promptly and with great customer service!).  
This time, I needed to unlock a pricey suitcase that I inadvertently locked while I was changing the lock's combination.  I called the manufacturer first.  They suggested that perhaps a locksmith could do it, sparing me the $75 it would cost me to ship it to them for repair.  So, I called Baldino's main line, explained the problem, and they recommeneded Chris at the Landmark location.  They said he was one of their most experienced locksmiths, and they were sure he could handle this. And he did!  Took him only a few minutes. Both Chris and the colleague he was working with at the shop (part time, retired Pentagon guy) were very polite, friendly, answered my questions and didn't make me feel silly for accidently locking the suitcase!  I'd go back anytime.  I'll be sure to use them for any future needs.

"Arrived 2 hours outside 3 hour window, but did at least call to say they'd be late. Low-tech vent cleaning: a drill, a wire brush, and extension cable, two guys in a car, a short ladder, a small vacuum cleaner. I've had an entire house's vents steam cleaned before at the price they charged for 20 feet of dryer duct. Too expensive for the job and amount of effort put in. The invoice said Locksmith so obviously they do this on the side. The job was passable, just not super thorough. Not recommended."

"Joseph/Tivoli Locksmith is a first-class company that provided prompt attention, thorough service, and exceptional outcome. I called on 9/2 to request a site visit to look at a faulty outer gate lock to my DC rowhouse. Joseph (the Proprietor) answered the call and let me pick the day and time for him to come out to my house. I selected the next day (9/3) @ 2pm. At 1:35pm Joseph was at my house and calling me to make me aware tht he was there. I hadn't returned from errands yet and asked that he look at the faulty lock until I arrived. Once I arrived he was positive and courteous, and quickly offered an assessment for the lock issue. He provided a quote of $125 if he were able to fix the existing lock. After earnest attempts to fix the existing lock he informed me that it had some fatal flaws and offered to install a replacement lock for $175, with a $25 discount. I was pleased with this option/offer and gave him the go-ahead to proceed. He quickly installed the lock and even provided a custom fit for the bolt to drive in to since the door frame of the gate was so old and had insufficient wood to support a robbery proof solution. This he did at no extra charge, but I had added piece of mind!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It depends on what type of keyless entry it is and if the locksmith has the proper tools to remove a keypad entry lock since some are more advanced than others. However, locksmiths can typically work around keyless entries to vehicles, so it depends on what type of keyless entry system needs opening.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Many insurance providers offer policy discounts when adding security features to your home. The best way to find out if new locks will reduce your premium is to simply ask your agent.

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.
