"I could not be happier with my experience this past Saturday with Raanan the Locksmith (and his wife Hanna). My husband and I had just arrived at our hotel, and somehow managed to lock our car keys inside the car while unloading it in the hotel garage. We were preparing for a long evening searching for a locksmith that could commit to helping us the same day. I received several texts and phone calls in reference to our need to hire a locksmith but chose to hire Raanan after my initial conversation with his wife. She seemed genuinely interested in helping us with our dilemma. My phone calls and texts re-confirming that they were actually coming to unlock the car, were answered promptly and we were kept informed about their arrival time. Raanan and his wife were professional and very pleasant to work with. Our car was unlocked quickly, and we still had time to keep our dinner reservation. We highly recommend Raanan the Locksmith for anyone needing help unlocking their car!"

"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"I have used Mr. Handyman on many occasions and plan to continue to use them anytime I have an issue they can help with.  I almost always contact them by email when I have a need, and they have always replied within twenty-four hours to set up an appointment. They are always on time when they come out and have always been very professional. The final charge has always closely matched the estimate, and they always do top notch work. I have, and will continue, to recommend them without reservations to anyone that needs their services."

"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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

Yes, with better technology now available, it’s possible to add a smart lock on your sliding glass door. Smart locks can be easy for almost everyone in the family to operate and can connect to other safety features in the home, like smart lights. Plus, they’re harder for would-be criminals to pick. However, keep in mind that smart locks can potentially be hacked, and some completely rely on phones or Wi-Fi, which can be an issue if the power goes out.
