"I had quite the opposite experience of others on this site. Called Steve. He answered. He said that he could move my safe from the store where I purchased it into my basement and when. Did it on that day for an excellent price. When we accidentally overpaid, he kindly brought it to our attention. I wouldn't call anyone else. I don't know why anyone would."

I've been doing this kind of trade since I been in high school. I take a lot of pride in helping people in doing projects they do not have the time or the capability to finish. I know what it means to homeowners to expect a job done well and left like a professional. I don't ever hire subcontractors because I have never needed too. Whether it's a bathroom or a kitchen I am very confident in myself. We are insured and bonded and proud that I've never gotten a claim on either knock on wood. We have lots of clients from many decades ago. For many years our goal is for you to invite us back to your home.

"They charged $155 for a lock that retailed on line for $53. Then charged $263 for labor to install which only took 15 minutes. The work was fine but they are WAY overpriced. Would not use them again."

"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

"Charles is an honest local businessman. He showed up on time and he quoted me a price to rekey eight locks and charged me what he quoted. The job ended up taking longer than expected because the locks had some security device that required more time to rekey, so he could have charged me more, but he didn't. All the locks work flawlessly. Yes, I would definitely recommend this business again. I had a very positive experience."

"A few days after moving into our "new" home, my wife mistakenly locked herself out of the house. We were planning on getting the locks changed anyway, but now we had an emergency lock-out situation as well. Artie's team responded promptly and professionally, and their prices were fair. (They even recommended that I keep the existing good-quality locks and simply have them re-keyed, rather than trying to sell me new locks.) I would recommend them to anyone looking for assistance with residential locksmith work."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.
