"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 was very timely, worked efficiently, was super polite and was very fairly priced. He even recommended how I could save money on the project. I quoted another Locksmith on Angi and he tried to rip me off. I will use Jordan again."

"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

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.

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.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacing locks. Professional rekeying costs between $40 and $160, sometimes with an additional fee of $15 to $40 per lock. A locksmith's hourly rate averages around $75. If you do it yourself, a rekeying kit can cost as little as $10. In contrast, replacing a lock costs between $130 and $500, with an average of around $315, depending on the hardware and lock type. Rekeying is a simpler process that changes the key for your existing lock without replacing the hardware. It is a good option if you have a quality lock that works well, you've recently moved, you've lost a key, or you need a quick security upgrade. The best choice depends on the condition of your current locks.
