"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."

"Equipment is Self-Installation, which is fine, but the equipment is not very good quality and requiring constant care. Keypad/interface with the main system is not intuitive at all.

"I communicated with Rob Calbo for services of a background check with CSI Secure Solutions and he was fantastic.
He spoke with me in a very professional manner and put me at ease right away.
The process was seamless and my request was delivered very efficiently. Within just a few hours of providing them with information, I was able to get feedback. Rob took the time to speak with me and answered all of my questions. 
I will definitely be using them again in the future should the need arise, and I would definitely recommend them as being very efficient, professional and reliable.

"Really can't say enough good things about my experience with Cady Handyman Services.   After reading about them on Angie's List, I contacted the company via email and received a quick reply.  Tom came out to give me a quote on the job and was professional and thorough, while also being friendly and helpful.  He took pictures and was nice enough to do a little patching even before they got the job.  Jim the owner was extremely helpful as he worked along with my insurance company behind the scenes. 

After all systems were go for the job, the work was scheduled within a couple of days.  Tom came out with a young helper, Danny, and I felt comfortable around both of them.  The materials they used were high quality, and they were willing to spend the time necessary to do the job right.  They completed the work for the price they quoted, even though it took longer than expected because of some problems with the way my original door had been installed.  They were more than willing to help with a couple of little odds and ends I needed. Afterwards, they cleaned up thoroughly and put everything together much better than it was before.

I have already recommended Cady to my friends, several of whom are single ladies who need help with a variety of jobs around the house.  I plan to have them build some shelving in my garage and in a closet.  

I see them as trustworthy, reliable, and conscientious.  They take pride in their work and are fun to be around."

"Justin did a good job in putting back our vinyl siding. He arrived on time, is pleasant spoken, and was quickly able to complete the job. I would request Justin's help again if other work come up in the future."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.
