"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"ADT is the best company to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

"The garage door sensor isn't working right and they are sending a different model. We've needed to call them several times to get this sorted, but they are good on the phone.
They nickel and dime on the equipment, wanting to charge us 7$ to ship a keyring and it took 7 days to arrive. And then when a sensor was failing they wanted to send a new one but with same slow shipping which would have left our house insecure for a week. I had to moan about it til they agreed to send it faster, but I feel like, "duh, I'm paying to have security when I want it, not just at times when you can get your shipping and your defective gear working.'
So sure I like them, but it leaves a bad taste that I had to suggest to them they should support their products and service. I'd have preferred it if they just had a policy of providing high evel service right out of the gate.
The gear is GE sensors and the phone app seems like a licensed deal, works well. Now we know we can probably do it all cheaper by just buying sensors and contracting for monitoring service seperately, but this is our first experience with home security and I appreciate the level of service. WHen our contract is up, I'll shop around for monitoring but this was a good way to get into it.
Costing us about 49/mo. and we like having the piece of mind.

"Technician phoned to say he was running late. When he arrived, I showed him the old lock (which was slipping) and the new lock I wanted installed. After several minutes he told me this was a very old lock (at least 30 years) he had not seen before.  He had major difficulty removing the lock and eventually had to cut the knobs off with a grinder.  It took about an hour to remove the old lock and some of the wood around the lock will have to be touched up.  When the tech went to install the new lock he noticed the deadbolt was a lot shorter than the old deadbolt so the new lock could not be installed in the old location.  He had to cut a second hole in the door to install the new lock. The new lock was fitted and worked. I was able to fill the old hole with the wood cutout from the new hole. I will have to seal and sand the filled hole.  If I had any idea the old lock would have proved so resilient, I would have called a locksmith instead to repair the mechanism.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.

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.

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

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.
