"Less than Zero. Hired this company to unlock a Corvette. He spent about 30 minutes trying to unlock the car, and finally succeeded, then presented us with an electronic bill for $554. Needless to say, we were more than shocked. We argued with him for about 15 minutes and he then finally offered a senior discount down to $485. We were on our way out for a trip, he left, car wouldnt start, so we had to drive a different car. When the credit card bill arrived, the charge was $554.00. Immediately tried to contact the business and they would bot answer my calls or messages, asked them for a partial refund. No response. I then called the credit card company and disputed the charge. This all happened in October, now the credit card company has dismissed the claim, unresolved I am continuing to pursue this matter because this is supposedly a branch of a company that claims to have offices around the DC area and I would hope they are not scammers. I think it’s a guy with a truck that has a vinyl magnetic sign to stick on his truck. Hopefully this will help someone else not to use them."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

The most secure lock for a front door is typically a deadbolt. There are many types of deadbolts to choose from, the most basic of which is the standard single-cylinder deadbolt. This is the lock you find installed on most front doors. For added security, you could go with a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate the lock from both the outside and the inside. 

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
