"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."

"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."

"I was extremely worried about my door lock which broke and did not have replacement parts. A new lock system was installed with deadlock on my front door and a new deadlock was installed on my rear door with the same key requirement as the front door. The locksmith was knowledgeable and efficient. Everything now works well."

"Donnie has completed two projects for me, and both experiences were excellent. The first job involved relocating a light switch for a bathroom fan from outside the room to inside, which made a big difference in convenience and usability. The second project was installing a smart lock on my front door, including adjusting the strike plate to ensure everything fit and functioned perfectly. In both cases, Donnie’s work was high-quality, precise, and clearly done with care. He communicated well, showed up on time, and made sure everything was working properly before wrapping up. On top of that, he was friendly and easy to work with, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Donnie to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled handyman."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

Security systems are one of the measures that deter burglars the most. Research suggests most burglars look for signs of a security system before going in, although the presence of a security system doesn’t automatically mean they won’t enter the home. However, a security system with cameras can decrease the chance of a burglary overall.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.
