Customers say: Quality work

"Nick was great to work with. He was professional, prompt and thorough. He was undeterred by the little (and big) things that come up when working on older homes, and just plowed ahead and got things done. The workmanship is excellent and the job took exactly the time he said it would. Good guy. Good carpenter."

"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."

"The price charged was significantly more than we discussed ahead of time. I could have asked more questions and been more specific. I figured $100 to re-key 3 locks -- I had the existing keys -- which was suppose to make it cheaper. He said one deadbolt was broken (mechanism) --- when I got bill --- It was for $322."

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

Changing door locks is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It’s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That’s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.

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. 

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.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door.
