"I was told arrival time would be 30-40 minutes. It was much longer (over 1 1/2 hours). But he did a fine job when got there. The real problem was the home advisor system. I had multiple companies contacting me and after I contracted with one, another called and lied, saying the locksmith in route did not work for company and saying he was coming instead. What a fiasco. I was at work and had just had a home break in. It was atrocious. I will not use home advisor again."

"I called Annandale Lock and Key Service to do lock-work at my rental property after my tenant?s key was stolen along with her wallet, which had items that ID?d her address.  It was imperative that the lock be re-keyed as soon as possible to prevent a possible burglary.
Chris found time to come the very day I called, and arrived on time.  He began work and soon discovered that the previous owner of my condo had damaged the lock.  Re-keying became a daunting process, requiring (I?m told by my tenant) approximately an hour and a half.    It was clear Chris fully understood how important it was to have the lock working with new keys before he left that evening.   Ultimately, his doggedness paid off, and he was successful.   Sorry ? can?t explain the issues involved, beyond a broken pin, but perhaps the age of the building and lock was a factor (40 yrs. old?).   At any rate, I felt very fortunate to get the job done with a charge for only a service call and a cylinder replacement.   Chris supplied new keys at no charge, and gave me my 10 % senior discount, which I much appreciated.  
I would definitely use Chris?s services again and will happily recommend him to others.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.
