Q: How long do keyless locks last?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How often should door locks be replaced?

• <div><p>Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is <b>seven to 10 years</b>, so it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to pick a deadbolt lock?

• <div><p>Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-deadbolts.htm">types of deadbolts</a> are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. </p></div>

Q: What are the cost factors for hiring a locksmith?

• <div><p>Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:</p><ul><li><p>Type of services required</p></li><li><p>Emergency call fees</p></li><li><p>Home and lock location</p></li><li><p>Number of locks to repair or install</p></li><li><p>Peak hours</p></li><li><p>Type of locks </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can a burglar get through a deadbolt?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.</p></div>

I called the evening before and they had someone out at 8 am the next day. He was actually early. Had the doors quickly re keyed and installed a deadbolt on my garage. The Locksmith, Jamie was polite, competent, and professional and made sure I was satisfied before he left. Well Done!
