"We?ve been working with Triple Z Locksmith for quite a while now, and I can?t recommend them enough. As a dealership, we often need locksmith services for our own inventory whether it?s keys, doors, or lock repairs and they?ve always delivered fast, reliable, and professional work every time. On top of that, we?ve sent customers who?ve purchased cars from us their way for help with keys or lock issues down the road, and they?ve all come back with nothing but good things to say. It?s rare to find someone this consistent and dependable. If you need a locksmith you can trust to get the job done right, look no further. ? Al, F&M Auto Sales"

"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."

"This is the second time we have used My Handyman of Ann Arbor for home projects and couldn't be happier with the results. Kirk installed 3 new lights in our kitchen, he was professional and finished in just a few hours. Great job and we will be hiring My Handyman of Ann Arbor again for sure!"

"Gary is very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. He is also extremely respectful and very punctual. He is quick to respond with both text and phone calls. His quote was fast and very reasonable. He has his calendar available to make your appointment. Gary is also a very hard worker and cleans up after completing the job. It s like you never knew he was there. We spoke about several projects that I need accomplished and l definitely will hire him again. One of the biggest is he is licensed and insured. All around he is the best."

"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

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. 

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey.
