"Due to a burglary at my home, we decided to improve security by replacing the locks (the burglar stole a spare set of keys) and adding security doors. Due to an ex-husband with locksmith training that we don't want to get into the home, we decided to go with top-of-the-line high security locks that are extremely difficult to pick rather than average security locks. These locks cost considerably more than the ones most people use on their homes so don't let the price I quoted put you off. They also carry many standard locks at much more affordable prices.
About a month ago, the locks were replaced and we were shown how to use them. We got all the locks keyed to a single key so I no longer need to carry a wad of 6 keys (2 for each exterior door).
On the date they installed the locks they also measured for the security doors which have to be manufactured to fit the existing doors. Since our house was built in the 1950s it has settled and so not all the lines are plumb/straight anymore. They took careful measurements and I was notified by voice-mail and email today that the doors are ready and I need to schedule their installation. These doors will also have the high security locks and use the same key as the rest of the locks on the house.
So far I have been very happy with the professionalism of the company. There was a minor miscommunication where they weren't certain if we wanted to order the doors or not, but that was cleared up quickly.
Due to the nature of the locks we ordered, we will need to use this vendor in the future because these locks cannot be picked without the right tools so if we lose a key or lock ourselves out we will need to contact this company instead of just any locksmith. If you choose standard security instead of high security that would not be the case.

"Very well. The locksmith quickly identified the problem and produced a replacement part that fixed the issue. It has been 2 weeks since the repair job and the door has been working like a charm."

"Wonderfully! David Locksmith is a thoroughly professional locksmith. David was responsive with an accurate quote, punctual, efficient and a real craftsman. He brought and installed top-rated Schlage locks and knobs. He also keyed the locks so we only need one key! He definitely guarantees customer satisfaction and we were extremely pleased."

"The locksmith technician Larry was right on time and did the required work within an hour. He is a pro at what he does and you could tell from his work ethos. Plus the Angie's List discount coupon was honored as well.

"He was able to accommodate my short time frame. He arrived when he said he would. He assessed the problem quickly. Only one lock was not working, but we wanted all three locks keyed the same. I only had 45 minutes before I had to leave and he replaced the cylinders, keeping the remainder of the equipment in place. We were very happy with the work.

"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.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.

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.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.
