"I had a great experience with Hajji from Stellar Keys and Remotes. He came out to my house three different times to fix my son’s car, always showing up right on time and with a positive attitude. He even brought me an apple and a banana one day — which says a lot about the kind of person he is. The price was exactly what we agreed on, no surprises, and he even fixed the hood latch for free while he was here. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, honest, and genuinely kind. I highly recommend Hajji and Stellar Keys and Remotes to anyone needing car key or lock repairs."

"Needed a replacement key for my vehicle. Blaine Lock and Safe quoted the following pricing: *Service call of $19.99 and a new key charge starting at $95.00. When the technician arrived, the story changed to: *$29.99 for the service call and he disputed that I was quoted $19.99. He quoted $185.00 for the new key and stated that I would not find a better price. I also inquired on the website front page offering a 15% discount for locksmith services, and despite no small print clarifying the discount, he stated that my key was" ineligible" for the discount. I asked several times what made the fob ineligible and he provided only double talk. Next morning - although the fob worked, the small mechanical key inside did not work. I phoned the manager of Blaine Locksmith to receive clarification on pricing misquotes, mechanical key not working, and the website discount was not offered by the technician and disappointment in their service. Despite asking for manager, Blaine Lock & Safe had the original technician phone me to discuss. The conversation between Blaine Locksmith evolved into arguing and that as I did not ask for the 15% discount at the first phone call, the discount would not apply. When I restated dthat the technician said the key fob made the discount ineligible, the technician stood his ground. Furthermore, they were unwilling to clarify pricing misquotes or address concerns, however, this company is willingly happy to argue. Do not use this service"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey. 

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.

Security experts recommend deadbolt door locks on entry doors because they provide the best security. Deadbolts can prevent most types of forced entry and make your doors harder to lockpick.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key.
