"Wonderful experience with Adam, the locksmith. Very professional and knowledgeable. Work was done quickly and cost was very reasonable. He provided options on our key problems and gave my sister good information. We would definitely recommend Lockbusters again and we would use them again if we needed a key or lock.

"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."
"Marc was very good at his job. He mostly works with doors, although I can believe he's skilled in other areas as well. The price was great. If I ever had problems again, or need a door installed, he's the guy I'd call first. I highly recommend him."
When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.
Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.
Yes, many locksmiths offer 24/7 emergency services for business lockouts, broken keys, and security breaches.
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.
Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
