"It went well. The locksmith arrived on time, was respectful, and showed expertise in the job. He made some helpful suggestions that simplified the work. I would recommend this firm for locksmith services and I would consider using them for handyman services."

"Eli arrived punctually after calling to alert me of his arrival. Once here, after hearing the problem, he looked at the door and realized the problem was that the door had settled low. I didn't need new locks, as I had thought; instead, he simply fixed the door so the locks fit correctly again. Instead of having to pay for new hardware, I was only charged for the visit and 15 minutes of time."

"I would like to recognize employee Doug A at SafeStreet/ADT. We’ve had an old security system sitting in our house for over 15 years without service or functionality. He took the time to explain the differences between how the old systems work and how the new systems work. He was patient with us, and we are happy customers."

"After my husband and I had worked for hours trying to repair our boxsprings we broke down and called for help. Bobby Nesbitt was the man who saved us from another horrible night sleep. We called him at 5:00, hoping to have him put us on his schedule but we were amazed he said he could come that night at 8:00. He took one look and figured it all out. He was fast, knowledgeable and couldn't have been nicer. We will call him again when we get our list together. I've already told my friends about the wonderful service he gave us. Thanks Bobby you're the best."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

You can cut a door knob off using a sawzall, but you risk causing additional damage to the door itself. You’ll also need to completely replace the door knob, costing you extra money and another trip to the hardware store.

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.

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.

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.
