"I requested that Capital Locksmith rekey the lock on my entry door. Prior to agreeing to perform the rekeying service the locksmith requested that I text him a picture of my existing key so he could determine if rekeying the lock was possible. The locksmith determined that rekeying my lock could be done. I was able to quickly make an appointment for the service. The locksmith arrived on time and quickly rekeyed the lock. I had requested 5 keys and he fulfilled my request. The cost for the service was very reasonable. I am very satisfied with the services of Capital Locksmith"

"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."

"Overall rating = 5 stars. Raanan and his wife, Hanna, of “Raanan the Locksmith,” completed my job on Friday, July 17th. Their service was excellent, professional, friendly and courteous. They fixed my locksmith problems on my front and back doors in record time. I highly recommend them to anyone who might have locksmith issues. I will certainly call them again should I have the need. Please keep this company on your list for future referrals."

"I can’t say enough great things about Walter! He completed multiple projects in my home, and every single one was done with precision, professionalism, and attention to detail. From start to finish, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly takes pride in his work. He showed up on time, came prepared, and handled everything efficiently—no shortcuts, just quality craftsmanship. What really stood out to me was how he took the time to explain things, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure I was completely satisfied before wrapping up each project. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust in your home, but he exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for someone dependable, skilled, and professional, I highly recommend him. I will definitely be using his services again!"

"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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

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.
