"The locksmith repairman and the owner spent hours at our home rekeying and refurbishing a 1948 lock (our home is 1936) and returned the next day when they had the right parts to fully repair the front door. They did a great job on all the locks and we appreciated their commitment to doing the job well. When I had a question about the bill, the owner called back right away and explained it. I would definitely rehire this company."

"The whole job went very smoothly. Derek was very professional, and came here to work. We have been searching for a local handyman to take care of projects around our new home, and we believe we found the right guy for the job. Will hire again! Did excellent work"

The job is only done when it's done right, it's not only common courtesy, it's common sense.

We are a family owned and run business and have been since 1932. We are a full service Locksmith Shop. We have key blanks that you can not easily find. We can make keys for cars as old as they come. We also still make Iron Bit keys ( what some call skeleton keys).

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

While a strong conventional deadbolt offers enough security for most homeowners, if you’re looking for extra features beyond just simple locking, smart deadbolts are the way to go. Smart deadbolts allow for keyless entry using your phone or a code, remote access in case someone is locked out, and features like temporary access codes, automatic locking, tamper alerts and entry-exit monitoring. Smart deadbolts also come with downsides: they rely on batteries and wireless networks and are potentially vulnerable to hacking by skilled home intruders.

The most secure lock for a front door is typically a deadbolt. There are many types of deadbolts to choose from, the most basic of which is the standard single-cylinder deadbolt. This is the lock you find installed on most front doors. For added security, you could go with a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate the lock from both the outside and the inside. 

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

First, maintain composure and avoid forcing it further. Inspect the key to see if enough material remains exposed for extraction. Use pliers or tweezers to grasp and gently pull out the broken piece if possible. Lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray to aid removal. If self-removal proves challenging or risks damaging the lock, seek a professional locksmith's assistance. They possess the necessary tools and expertise to extract the key without causing damage.
