"Equipment is all fairly priced, in fact, some items were cheaper than any other online source. It is all SELF-INSTALLED, so you need to at least know how to operate a screwdriver proficiently. :-) All items have help guides showing you how to install the sensors, door locks, etc. The setup section of the phone app walks you thru the setup of each sensor and lets you know when you're done. I had just had another company install and then remove their system and it took me less time to set up[ this one than they took. The equipment such as door locks (Schlage), sensors (equivalent to Dome or Vivint), front door bell (Skybell) is all TOP quality. All batteries (new) included. Equipment doesn't ship for 48 hours after your order is placed, but then arrives one or two days later. Plan on one full day to install, test and get help (by phone) during your install. As for their support line. It is A1. AAA. Highest award I can think of for telephone support. Courteous, knowledgeable and helpful to a fault. These people provide a full featured system that is awesome. The system's monitoring takes place in NY and is reached by cellular telephone. No wi-fi which a burglar could disable at your home very easily. This they cannot get at. Monitoring cost may vary in your area. Mine is the same as the previously removed sytstem would have been."

"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

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

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. 

Rekeying door locks yourself costs a fraction of what you would expect to pay a locksmith. On average, it costs between $50 to $100 to hire a local locksmith to rekey your house, though labor costs may vary based on where you live. For a DIY solution, you can expect to spend $11 to $25 on a rekeying kit.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders.
