"It didn't go well. I looked out the window on appointment day and saw a van in my driveway. By the time I opened the garage door the van was gone. This person never rang the door the bell. I called the company and the woman that took the call told me her guy showed up but nobody was home. I told her that's not true and she said she will send the man back. About forty minutes later, the man showed up and told me that I needed a new door and opener because of the age and tear. He gave me a quote and I paid half and he told me his technician will come the next day in the morning to install the door and opener since I wanted it done as quickly as possible. The technician didn't show up until in the afternoon. I did not find out that the door they sold to me does not have a handle until we lost power. I called the 'front man', he has a business card that has only David on it, and he told me to send him text message and I did, but he never responded. I called him again and he told me I never asked for door with handle, and that if I needed one he would have to charge extra money. I told him that's not how to conduct business and he got upset and told me to call the company. I called the company and the woman told me the 'technician' will call me. The 'technician' called me and told me the door is not designed to have a handle, and that it is not hard to lift up during power outage. He said he will come back to put a handle on the inside but not outside. The man never showed up. I have tried to talk to the owner/manager, but the woman that takes calls won't let me. She would say that the technician will call me when he's in my area and will hang up before I could say anything else."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

Locksmiths typically recommend using a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, instead of the popular oil-based lubricants you can purchase at almost any store. Dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating instead of attracting more dirt and debris like an oil-based lubricant. You can find these at a hardware store; some are made explicitly for lock use.

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.

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.
