"We had several small projects including replacing sceens in doors and windows, caulking bathroom shower, kitchen and laundry room countertops, removing and caulking perimeter of two bathrooms and around toilet bowl, securing loose shutters, caulking around porch pillars, cleaning and securing gutter, and staining and refinishing workbench. We were pleased with the work and the price and the punctuality. Jon is very accommodating and easy to work with. We would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others."

"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."

"I highly recommend this company. My projects were all completed. I have a screen door lock that I lost parts and Mike is going to check at his shop parts that might fit so I can use the lock. This is the company that I will be calling for future projects. It's peace of mind knowing I can trust them."

"I hired Derek and his colleague to wire up our new hot tub. He was excellent at communicating and providing an estimate before work was started. The quality of work he provided exceeded my expectations. Everything was done neatly, to code, and did not leave a mess at my house. A sprinkler line was damaged during trenching, since we didn't know it was there, and he made the repairs with no questions asked. I would definitely hire him or recommend for electrical work. A+"

"After posting our job on Angie's List. We were contacted by Jeston of Handyman of Ann Arbor. He arrived at our residence that afternoon and provided us with a quote and time line for completion of the job. The job was completed as promised and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. Jeston worked closely with us to answer all questions and explain the process and time frame to complete the project."

"Gary couldn't get right out to scope out the job (ceiling damage from a leak connected to the stink pipe installation) but always communicated. Found him to be open and honest, wanted a job to be well done and to my own satisfaction and was more than reasonable. Now it's done and he was so easy to work with. Based on my initial experience we are already discussing another smallish project and I hope to be able to every once in a while invest in my home through the services that Gary offers."

"Kris Kraft has been our contractor for renovations and maintenance of all kinds, inside and outside, major and minor, on a large house that, although it was well built, has suffered from some neglect and misguided amateur projects. Over more than ten years Kris has trenched and waterproofed the underground part of the house, repaired water-damaged rooms, installed a deck and walkways, remodeled a kitchen and all three bathrooms, supervised roofing repairs, winterized and painted, and carried out extensive work in preparation for a wedding at our house. He is reachable, responsible, and reliable. And he is a craftsman who takes great pride in his work. People like us who have no talent for making detailed remodeling decisions can hand them over to Kris with confidence that the results will be just what we need, and that they'll look terrific."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Standard residential deadbolt locks come with a steel bolt that locks your door into place using a key (or keypad) on one side and a thumb turn on the other. When you lock it, the bolt slides into a strike plate on your door jamb to secure your door shut.

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.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key. 

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.
