"We have a solid door, over 100 years old, that was pulled out with the hinges many years ago. It’s a very unique situation in that the door can either shut off the stairs, or turn 45° and close the closet. He came over, assessed the problem, came up with a solid solution, and fixed it. We absolutely would hire him again!"

"ADT is the best company 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 a great experience with FiNest. They responded quickly to our request for a quote. We liked their online process and documentation of the work to be done. Their pricing was very reasonable. Dan was great to work with and did an excellent job on the repairs. We would highly recommend FiNest for anyone needing handyman services."

"

First I had to resolve the issue of a 2 inch backset on the kitchen deadbolt.  This had nothing to do with Quality Locksmith, but I had to deal with it, before continuing. Quality Locksmith did have a possible solution, which I did not opt for as I found a deadbolt with a 2 inch backset online.  My point is that Quality Locksmith did have a solution if I couldn't find a 2 inch backset deadbolt, which was quite a search.  I point this out because it is extremely difficult to find a deadbolt with a 2 inch backset.  This unusual configuration had more to do with the design of my kitchen door than with the age of the existing deadbolt.

When the 2" backset deadbolt arrived, I made an appointment with Quality Locksmith to rekey the locks and deadbolts on my kitchen and garage doors.  Ben and Joe arrived within the specified time.  After reviewing the situation with Ben, he gave me some options, which included a money saving option which we went with. By re-keying to the kitchen door lock, he saved us the expense of rekeying one lock.  However, the new deadbolt was incompatible with the other locks, and Ben explained that a new core at a cost of $25 would fix that.  So we opted for the new core.

Then Ben and Joe went to work, and were finished in 15 minutes.

I was impressed with the promptness and quality of the work.  I would definitely recommend them.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.

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.
