"I locked my keys in my car so I called around to several different locksmiths and Lowkey locks quoted me the best price and told me he could be there within an hour. He arrived in 30 min and it only took a couple of minutes for him to unlock my car. Brett was very professional and as I mentioned very quick. I was very impressed and will be using them again. I would recommend this company 100%"

"John was very professional and is very trustworthy. I hired him for an assembly project for my home gym. He did an exceptional job and was quick. It would have taken me hours to complete the work he did in a relatively short period of time. I highly recommend John."

"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."

"Jack communicated very clearly and worked out a schedule where he would come very early to accommodate a time that fit for us. Our schedules did not permit us to stay while he worked, but he worked quickly and we had no issue with my wife or I not being there while he finished his business. He made an extra trip to a local hardware store to purchase items we needed. He was in and out, and serviced both doors we requested, in under 2 hours. He was friendly and polite and helped my wife arrange payment which was quick and easy. We highly recommend Jack for future services."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

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.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.
