"Due to a burglary at my home, we decided to improve security by replacing the locks (the burglar stole a spare set of keys) and adding security doors. Due to an ex-husband with locksmith training that we don't want to get into the home, we decided to go with top-of-the-line high security locks that are extremely difficult to pick rather than average security locks. These locks cost considerably more than the ones most people use on their homes so don't let the price I quoted put you off. They also carry many standard locks at much more affordable prices.
About a month ago, the locks were replaced and we were shown how to use them. We got all the locks keyed to a single key so I no longer need to carry a wad of 6 keys (2 for each exterior door).
On the date they installed the locks they also measured for the security doors which have to be manufactured to fit the existing doors. Since our house was built in the 1950s it has settled and so not all the lines are plumb/straight anymore. They took careful measurements and I was notified by voice-mail and email today that the doors are ready and I need to schedule their installation. These doors will also have the high security locks and use the same key as the rest of the locks on the house.
So far I have been very happy with the professionalism of the company. There was a minor miscommunication where they weren't certain if we wanted to order the doors or not, but that was cleared up quickly.
Due to the nature of the locks we ordered, we will need to use this vendor in the future because these locks cannot be picked without the right tools so if we lose a key or lock ourselves out we will need to contact this company instead of just any locksmith. If you choose standard security instead of high security that would not be the case.

"I called several other lock smiths before I found Baldino's. All of them turned out to use the same sub contractor, who I waited for for hours and finally just told not to come. I found Baldino's at 9:30pm that night, and they only use their own technicians on jobs, which immediately made me feel like I was in good hands. Beyond that, when I placed the first call, the representative was calm and detailed (unlike the other locksmiths who seemed to barely have time to write down my phone number). They gave me an ETA that was long but honest, which I appreciated, so I know I could go home and wait, and because it was late in the evening, there were some extra charges.
When the technician arrived, Craig was competent and quick with his work to recover my keys. I would recommend them 100%.

"GREAT PLACE!  Two years ago, a neighbor recommended Baldino's when I wanted to change the locks on my home.  Their Clarendon branch performed that service (promptly and with great customer service!).  
This time, I needed to unlock a pricey suitcase that I inadvertently locked while I was changing the lock's combination.  I called the manufacturer first.  They suggested that perhaps a locksmith could do it, sparing me the $75 it would cost me to ship it to them for repair.  So, I called Baldino's main line, explained the problem, and they recommeneded Chris at the Landmark location.  They said he was one of their most experienced locksmiths, and they were sure he could handle this. And he did!  Took him only a few minutes. Both Chris and the colleague he was working with at the shop (part time, retired Pentagon guy) were very polite, friendly, answered my questions and didn't make me feel silly for accidently locking the suitcase!  I'd go back anytime.  I'll be sure to use them for any future needs.

"Top-notch service. It was cold night, so the situation was something of an emergency. I consulted Angie's List and called Tivoli Locksmith. The locksmith came immediately and handled the situation with real professionalism. I don't know what my neighbor was charged, so I can't comment about the price, but I was very, very impressed with the service. I hope I don't run into a similar situation, but if I ever do, I'd trust Tivoli."

"After getting locked out of the house one evening, we called ER Locksmith because they were local and had good reviews here.  We were not disappointed.  Although it was outside of normal business hours, our call was answered, our information was taken and we were told we would be contacted by a technician shortly.  About 2 minutes later, the technician called us and said he could be there in 10 minutes!!  He was right on time, and he had the door open in less than 10 minutes."

"Lawrence came out on a Saturday to fix the lock on our iron gate before we left for vacation. As we suspected, the lock was shot but Lawrence was able to replace it with newer version of the exact same Yale lock! Lawrence was extremely knowledgable regarding DC codes and explained that if we rented our house, we could call back and have the lock portion replaced with a handle! Great job! Would absolutely call them again!"

"Choice responded quickly but the insurance plan does not pay for all doors to be re-keyed unless you have very few locks. The number of locks covered by the insurance is determined by keyholes, not doors! (Read your policy!) You will likely have to shell out some money to have this essential new-home service if you have more than four keyholes. The locksmith they called was EXCELLENT and made all our locks completely functional. We will happily hire the locksmith again (R.L Locksmith LLC). We paid $201.81 (plus another $50 for some door re-alignment not included in the re-keying benefit) and Choice paid $100 for the job."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there’s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it’s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.
