"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."

"Locksmith was professional and helpful. He even came late in the evening to ensure our safety as we needed our front door lock rekeyed. He was incredibly affordable and did not overcharge despite coming after hours. I have never experienced such an amazing Locksmith. If we ever had the needs to rekey or change locks in our home, this would be our provider."

"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"We are very happy with Stephen Granger's work on this project. The quality of his work was great, he was neat and cleaned up after doing the work. His cost was competitive, scheduled the work to meet our needs and completed the work as scheduled. We will use Stephen again as new handy man projects come up."

"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."

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

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.
