"Update 4/8/15: I have changed my ratings for Price and Professionalism from B to A because I was contacted yesterday by Jim (Owner? / Manager?) at Sure Fit Security.  He had read my earlier review and noted that the technician had not fully followed protocol by not telling me in advance what the costs would be, and he offered a 10% discount on the work.  THIS, DEAR READERS, IS CALLED GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!  My earlier comments were not really negative - I just expressed surprise at the final cost while at the same time acknowledging that I still considered it reasonable given the quality of the service and equipment.  The follow-up from Jim demonstrates that the value of using a company like Sure Fit Security, as well as the value of using Angies List and providing useful feedback in reviews.
=========================================

My real estate agent recommended this company. I found them on Angies List and they were local and well-reviewed.  I left a message via Angies List after hours and was promptly contacted the next morning.  They were able to schedule a technician to come to my house between 10am and 1pm.  The technician arrived shortly after 10am.  I was delayed, and he agreed to wait the 15 minunutes it was going to take for me to arrive. The technician was knowledgeable and professional, not overly friendly, but ok.
Per my request, all locks can now be opened with the same key.  I was surprised by the final cost, but I don't think it was unreasonable.  One door was locked and the key to unlock it had been lost, so there was a charge to pick the lock.  Another door had a cheap lock mechanism that could not be rekeyed to match the others, so that door knob and deadbolt had to be replaced.  $60 for a new doorknob is a little pricey (I bought a similar one at Home Depot for around $25) but I know that the quality was good.
In summary, the work was done promptly and profesionally and I am satisfied. The price was reasonable even though it was more than I anticipated.  I should have asked for an estimate beforehand. 
(Note: In the past my mother was scammed by a locksmith company, and while trying and failing to get her money back I did a lot of research and found that locksmith scams are a major problem.  I was pleased to see on the Sure-fit Security web site that they hold professional certifications and even warn against the danger of scammers.)

"Eagle Locksmith, LLC is a very professionally organized company. The administrative assistant, Jessie, was outstanding in coordinating the job and always polite. She was always available. The locksmith, Itamar Greddy, was also very professional and courteous. He was very thorough and took time to inquire, properly install and double check everything. I highly recommend this company."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

As with any computer, smart locks can be hacked by someone with the technical skills to do so, but most people do not have that ability, making smart locks relatively safe. If you have any concerns about a compromised smart lock, opt for an encrypted smart lock, change your Wi-Fi password, and make sure that you only give out your password to trusted family and friends.

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.

Always consider security a top priority in your home. Perform a safety inspection of your home. Look for broken locks and rusty deadbolts, and take an inventory of who has access to your keys.

Consider the locks on your shed, safe, and other household items. Professional locksmiths can help you determine the best safety and security options for your home and feel at ease.

When a locksmith comes to your home, ensure your safety by having the locksmith show identification and provide an itemized invoice that you can reference later.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.
