Providing security to the Lakeshore for over 25years, Family owned locally run

"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

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

There are different types of deadbolts. The most common type is a single-cylinder deadbolt, which you may recognize on your front door. This type of lock has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. A double-cylinder deadbolt has two locking mechanisms and requires a key to engage on the inside as well as the outside. 

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.

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.

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.
