"Absolutely fantastic! EVERYONE in the family was more than pleased. Mike explained the process, costs and risks. He COMES TO YOU AT NO EXTRA FEE!! He quickly responded to our request and called back quickly. We explained the need for a family conference and when we decided to use him, he was at the house within an hour. He was polite, courteous, knowledgeable, quick and neat. Local Lock Smith is our recommendation. The first locksmith ( not from Angi) was useless!! Go with Angi and Mike from Local Lock Smith I!!"

"Jordan is responsive, respectful, and reliable. He helped in an emergency situation without talking down to me or rushing me through the process. He was patient when emotions were running high and didn't overcharge. Hopefully that kind of emergency won't happen again but I'd high him/his company in a heartbeat. I highly recommend!"

"5 stars is not enough to indicate the professional service and response time of MJ Locksmith Service. MJ arrived on time as promised, was able to fit my emergency in on the Friday before a long weekend (all 3 locks!) and the price was less than any other locksmith in the area! MJ was not only the consummate professional, he was also personable, kind, efficient, tidy in the work space and his work was top notch! I will definitely be using him again."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.
