"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people 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."

"Needed help installing a dryer vent through a brick wall... Didnt have the right tools to drill a 4 inch hole in bricks efficiently and decided to hire someone. I spent two hours trying to do this with minimal progress... told my wife I'd be laughing if the guy showed up and knocked it out in an hour. Franklin came out and drilled the hole for me in about 45 minutes for a reasonable price. He had all the right tools and made quick work of a task that would have taken me several hours and buying some new tools. Great work franklin!"

"Recently moved into a large new home in Rosement neighborhood in Alexandria. The property had a huge number of exterior and interior doors, all with different locks.  Previous owner's had a dozen different keys for different locks.  Our goal was to change all the locks to new keys for security and have all  exterior locks on one key.
 
Given the sheer size of the place, and the high number of doors, we knew it would be a big job. Baldinos was recommended by our Real  Estate agent as a quality locksmith with a good reputation in Old Town area.  Called on a Thursday and got a time window the next day - 10am to 2 pm.
Brad called about 11:30 and said he'd be at our house at noon, which he was. 
Brad was polite and professional.  He listen to our directions, surveyed the house and got work.   He encountered some tricky situations (there is a separate apartment with the property), he called us over and explained the situation and made recommendations (separate key for the apartment locks) which we followed.
Brad was at our house for nearly 3 and 1/2 hours, working quietly  and efficiently.  At completion, we had new lock sets, one key for all exterior doors and separate keys for the apartment.

"Front Door locks broken on my home. Had to take off work, no way to secure my home. Home Advisor put me touch with Colonial Lock Service, Inc. the gentleman on the phone tried to help trouble shoot the problem when that failed a locksmith was dispatched. The locksmith called and said I will be there in an hour. This young man showed up on time and said don't worry I hear to make it better. He had such great friendly personality and did a great job. He replaced both of my locks and said "Sir your new locks turn like butter now". Well that made my laugh but he was so right, my locks never worked so good. It appears when the door was replace 15 years ago the locks never really lined up right. The replacement locks were are not your local hardware style, much better quality. I was quoted a price which having never used a locksmith before I thought was high, however the quick response, great service, better then average hardware and most of all the locksmith had a great friendly attitude. The price was right. This young man shook my hand and thanked me. Right when I thought there was no more good customer service in this world, WOW!"

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

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. 

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security.
