Q: Why is my key hard to get in and out of a lock?

• <div><p>It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). </p></div>

Q: How do I protect my garage door from burglars?

• <div><p>If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a deadbolt and a regular lock?

• <div><p>A deadbolt has a different design, construction, and security level than a regular lock. Regular locks are mostly used for interior doors around the home, like bedrooms and bathrooms, and they usually include a locking mechanism on the inside. While regular locks are easy to use and install, they provide little security. </p><p>A deadbolt adds a layer of security and is most commonly used on exterior doors. The installation is typically more complicated, but they hold up to wear and tear.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to change the locks on your house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-change-a-door-lock.htm">Changing door locks</a> is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It&rsquo;s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That&rsquo;s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.</p></div>

They're responsive. They came quickly. They came with their schedule and appointment quickly. They changed out a couple of locks for me. They were very professional. They cleaned up after themselves. He was a little bit late so he gave me the master keys, so that was nice.

We had a house and some of the locks had no keys, and also we wanted new keys and locks for the older doors. What we liked about him is that right away he said yes I would come to your house and I do everything right out of my van and it would be done within an hour. We had a stone door in the...

A critical room in my cottage was inaccessible because the lock was corroded or broken. In addition 2 other door locks needed servicing. The Roche locksmiths came within two hours of my distress call and solved the problems completely. I will certainly use them again as needed.

The locksmith arrived a half hour late. Fortunately my husband was home, otherwise I could not have stayed home from work to complete the job. I felt the price was fair, there were no bargains here. The keys work well, so I feel it was a susccessful project.
