"Dave Smith was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable and patient. We added new items to our order at the 12th hour and he came back twice to make sure that everything was completed as we desired. We also had Alarm Protection Group secure our office. Dave Smith and Co. make the process very easy-Highly recommended."

Customers say: Quick response

"I made a request for the work on Saturday Feb 14 on the Angi website. Five companies were suggested. I contacted three. Within ten minutes I got a call from Franz Muller at PLC Handyman. I described the work, he quoted $250, and said he could come take a look at 3 pm today. He and his partner arrived at 2:30 pm, came in, had a look, confirmed the $250 quote, I gave them the go-ahead, and they left for Lowe s to get materials. They came back with six doorknobs. Franz took his planer to the top of the sticking door. I asked if he shouldn t take the door off to do that and he said no. The planer chipped the paint on the sides, broke off twi sizeable chips on the end and made a sawdust mess on the wall, the top of a dresser, and the carpet. Meanwhile his partner removed one doorknob and said there was a problem. The doors were old and not standard. They needed a kit to cut bigger holes for the new knobs. As they left, Franz announced this would double his original quote to $500. Caught off guard with the work already started, what was I to say? I told them proceed. They headed back to Lowe s. They returned with the kit, some superglue to repair the door chips, and an additional knob because they only bought six originally (I had shown them there were seven). Franz glued the chips and then left my house. His partner did all the doorknob work. I helped him a little by removing strikes and cleaning up sawdust messes. He said Franz had gone to get something to eat. When most of the knobs were replaced, Franz reappeared, hung around, then used my bathroom without asking. He left a big mess in my toilet and didn t bother to turn on a fan. When all the knobs were replaced and checked, Franz announced the fee was $500 plus the two Lowe s invoices ($150). I said I wasn t clear that the quote didn t include parts, but I wrote a check to him for $650. I got no written receipt, no warranty, and all the old knobs were left for me to dispose of. My wife and I did all the cleanup of sawdust and debris. I had to touch-up paint the door. The whole job seemed to be handled in a messy and rushed fashion. Nothing in writing. Messes left. No offer to remove or cover wet shoes. Even the kit I paid for was not offered to be left. They kept it. This is my first use of Angi. I guess I thought vendors were pre-screened so these kinds of problems would not occur."

"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."

"We had to go in a different direction after contacting Brawny Builders, so we were not able to hire them, but they would be my first call any time I had a project. Bronson was very prompt and responsive in answering our queries, got someone out to measure and gave us a very fair quote within a week of my contacting him. He also furnished me with a copy of his insurance without even requesting it - another reassurance that they are true professionals. We had had several disappointing attempts to get quotes from other companies, and this company was head and shoulders above any other."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

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.

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

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.
