"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"Elliot is among a rare breed of craftsperson who has the skills and integrity to do work with a level of care and perfection that are hard to find these days.He explained to me all the various options and potential challenges of the work I hired him for. His knowledge of paints, woods, materials, workmanship and aesthetics is impressive.His wife is an interior designer, so he brings an added talent to his work. I would say that Elliot is more than a "handyman." He is a craftsman who knows how to get the job done, and done right, above and beyond my high expectations.Elliot is a sole proprietor and does almost all the work himself, but when we needed an electrician, he referred me to a great electrician who was hard-working and honest.When you want to improve the value, safety and appearance of your home, Elliot is the person to turn to."

"ADT is the best company 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."

"The best locksmiths in Kalamazoo! I was freaking out about being locked out after calling company after company with no luck. Prices too high, long wait times. Finally, and thankfully, I called Assist Mobile were able to come out in less than 30 minutes and help me get in 5 minutes. Brandon was awesome, he even made me a spare before leaving. I have nothing but good things to say about this company!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.

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. 

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.
