"We?ve been working with Triple Z Locksmith for quite a while now, and I can?t recommend them enough. As a dealership, we often need locksmith services for our own inventory whether it?s keys, doors, or lock repairs and they?ve always delivered fast, reliable, and professional work every time. On top of that, we?ve sent customers who?ve purchased cars from us their way for help with keys or lock issues down the road, and they?ve all come back with nothing but good things to say. It?s rare to find someone this consistent and dependable. If you need a locksmith you can trust to get the job done right, look no further. ? Al, F&M Auto Sales"

"Chris did a great job repairing my mom's wood fence that was leaning forward, installing lattice, and reattaching the gate. Showed up within a week, quoted for the best price and very humble and honest person. Highly recommend him for handyman service. Even though he might not respond to you immediately, but his work doesn't disappoint you. Worth the wait"

"My husband was pretty upset and thought he messed up the electrical doing a bathroom update project. I went looking for someone on google to help us in a pinch, and this was the right person, the right company, at the right time. Definitely deserves more than we gave Deryk, but he was able to come out after hours to help us. He did an awesome job not only with the fix but the extra help he had given us. Very humble and professional. We truly appreciate your service and will definitely call again if we ever need the help."

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people 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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key. 

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.
