James offered to pick up the identical door knob and lock and installed it the same evening. I would highly recommend him. Extremely pleased. Offered excellent customer service and very knowledgeable."

"I just bought a house and needed all the locks (12 total including storm door handles and deadbolts) re-keyed to match the key to the new smart lock I got from ADT. I contacted Locks All Day through Angie's List and they got in touch with me quickly. The locksmith was friendly and punctual and kept me up to date with his progress the whole time. All the new locks work and I'm really happy with the service. I would definitely hire him again."

"Anthony, the owner of GANI Lock â â nâ Key, came to my house to do the job. I had lost-my last Keyless entry fob for my car. There was a mixup over the phone about what I needed for my car doors.. The price was more than quoted. Because Anthony did the job for a little more than was quoted and because Iâ m on . He is very professional and personable, as well as honest. I would recommend him to anyone that needed his service. Thank you Anthony, thank you for your generosity.!!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Begin by checking the power source, typically a battery or wired connection. Ensure the battery is installed correctly, has sufficient charge, and isn't corroded. If it's a wired lock, examine the electrical connections to confirm they are secure and free from damage. Additionally, inspect the lock's programming or settings. Confirm that user codes or access credentials are programmed correctly and that any remote control devices are paired and functional.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey.
