"Couldn't have gone better! Eddie was courteous and professional on the phone, with an exact quote. He arrived within 30 minutes, exactly what he had promised, and then right to work with his partner. Really nice guys. No upselling on anything. Showed me how to lock my outside door open. As he was leaving and after I'd paid, I asked him if he might be able to do one more thing: switch my conference room door knob, which had a lock I didn't need, with my office door knob, which didn't have a lock and needed one. He was nice enough to stick around for another 10 minutes to do it for me, then didn't want to charge me for it. Can't say enough about Eddie. An experience you would hope to get from a locksmith: prompt service, efficient installation, courteous and professional all the way."

"I would like to recognize employee Doug A at SafeStreet/ADT. We’ve had an old security system sitting in our house for over 15 years without service or functionality. He took the time to explain the differences between how the old systems work and how the new systems work. He was patient with us, and we are happy customers."

"I moved into a new house and was a bit nervous about hiring a locksmith, especially one that wasn't recommended by someone I know. As soon as I met Lucas, my fears were calmed. He was very professional, honest, and priced just right. I would DEFINITELY recommend him."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, many locksmiths offer 24/7 emergency services for business lockouts, broken keys, and security breaches.

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.

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.
