"Whether it’s for your home or your business (I use them for both) one of the contractors you had better have complete trust in is your locksmith. We have been using Surefit Security for over thirty years and couldn't be happier with our experiences. They are extremely knowledgeable and have offered viable and prompt solutions addressing all of our locksmith needs. From replacing hardware and doors to developing and implementing new master key systems in high rise office buildings they have never let us down. The employees who come on site to perform work are professional and courteous and the office staff and owners are always available for consultation when needed. To say that I highly recommend them is an understatement. I really can’t see us ever using anyone else."

"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

"Arrived 2 hours outside 3 hour window, but did at least call to say they'd be late. Low-tech vent cleaning: a drill, a wire brush, and extension cable, two guys in a car, a short ladder, a small vacuum cleaner. I've had an entire house's vents steam cleaned before at the price they charged for 20 feet of dryer duct. Too expensive for the job and amount of effort put in. The invoice said Locksmith so obviously they do this on the side. The job was passable, just not super thorough. Not recommended."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

Find a vetted and trusted locksmith to work on your home so you can feel comfortable and safe. Hire a professional with these qualifications:

  • Search a verified directory of locksmiths near you, like those on Angi. 

  • Check for an Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) logo on their website or company logo.

  • Read company reviews. You can also check their social media pages.

  • Ask for a pro’s credentials, insurance, licensure, and customer testimonials. 

  • Check if the locksmith is knowledgeable about various topics, from decorative locks to the newest technologies on the market.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.
