"Wish I could rate this a 0/5. Literally could not recommend this place LESS. Would like to start out by saying that the associate Chad who physically came out to help us, was very kind and helpful. Our car was stranded in a fast food restaurant parking lot overnight after the key broke off the fob in the ignition and we were unable to reprogram a new fob. Called Paul’s Lock & Key Shop for advice/availability as my sick grandfather was stuck at the hotel without his medications and needed to return home as soon as possible. Owner Jim answered the phone and immediately began to speak with hostility towards us, saying “are you going to shut up so I can talk?” and “I’m trying to do you a favor and if you don’t stop talking I’m not helping you” as my mom was trying to relay information from him to me so I could follow his instruction. He also cussed at us, saying “well maybe I should ******* talk to her then!” When my mom was explaining the situation to him. It made an already incredibly stressful day 1000x worse, and I never expected this kind of customer service in Rochester. Especially where 90% of visitors are likely having the worst day of their life and could be met with a small amount of kindness. You never know what someone is going through. Will not be using services again and certainly will not be recommending to others/will be warning those looking for appropriate service to look elsewhere. Very disappointing."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

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.

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.
