"I contacted Colonial on 10/10/13 and the next morning Steve called and came right away in the heavy downpours.  Steve provided Superior service and identified our needs immediately to secure our front door especially with having two small kids. 
Steve is great example of professional and courtesy service and represents Colonial Locksmith very well.  Colonial Locksmith should be very proud having someone like Steve represent their company in the community. 
I would highly recommend anyone in the area that needs a locksmith that will do the job fast and right the first time with a backed guarantee, you can't go wrong. 
Many thanks

"We were impressed by Mr. Bunting's professionalism and knowledge as he explained to us how water had been leaking around the door and caused rotting of the wood of the floor. He extensively inspected the interior and exterior of our home.  He patiently answered all of our questions and provided many options for different products and techniques for the repairs.  He provided a detailed written estimate showing the cost for each area of repair.  Mr. Bunting was very courteous and polite, and we look forward to having him complete the work in the near future."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Security systems are one of the measures that deter burglars the most. Research suggests most burglars look for signs of a security system before going in, although the presence of a security system doesn’t automatically mean they won’t enter the home. However, a security system with cameras can decrease the chance of a burglary overall.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside.
