"It took over a week to receive an estimate after stopping by the store knowing exactly what I wanted. I never did receive one in writing, which I should have insisted upon. The service team was professional and courteous. They had to drill into my door and doorframe as I didn’t have a deadbolt previously. They cleaned everything up and showed me how to use the smart lock. I had to ask for an itemized receipt after paying online via Square. I was shocked when I looked it over. The pricing for the products (one wifi deadbolt and two replacement handle sets) was outrageous, Every item was marked up over 50% more than what I would have paid from Lowes or online. The wifi deadbolt was marked up almost 60% ($175 over Lowes and other retail prices). I went in to the store to talk to the manager about it. He had no sympathy and claimed he needed to mark product up that much in order to pay his staff, and that’s part of what comes in dealing with a small business. It was clear from the moment the conversation began that he was not going to budge on his pricing. He had my money and that was that. Shame on me for not insisting on a written estimate. Shame on him for his ridiculous price gouging and taking advantage of his customers. FYI - Holland Lock charges for a service call and then labor on top of it, so I paid $70 for the service call and then an hour for the deadbolt install and half-hour to swap out the other two knobs. Summary: The on-site service was great, it took multiple follow ups to get a verbal estimate, and their pricing is extremely out of line. I cannot recommend them because of their pricing. I am very supportive of local businesses, but not when they price gouge."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.

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.

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

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. 

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.
