Full service locksmith and safe company offering professional service since 1985. NC Licence #0495. GSA Certified Safe, Vault and Container Technician and Inspector, S&G 2740 Certification, Kaba Mas X-09/X-10 Certification .

"Steve was prompt in answering my initial call, prompt in scheduling (including asking to arrive earlier), and was right on time for the appointment. He assessed the work to be performed and didn't mind that I added on changing out a doorknob. He left everything as clean as he found it and was very kind. Prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him!"

Work in Wilmington area. I am a mobile locksmith. Licensed from the state of North Carolina through the NC Locksmith Board #1021. Licensed, Bonded, and Insured. I am a one man show, so I feel I can give more personal attention to your needs of the security of your home, business, or automotive Some people want to sell you items but I recommend what I see from my experience. If I cannot do the work I can always recommend someone who can usually do the work for you. I did not come a family of locksmiths so I attended the Arizona School of Locksmithing in Phoenix, AZ (http://www.azschooloflocksmithing.org/ ). It was a real life, hands on school with classwork time. However locksmiths do not just pop-up over night, its experience and knowledge. Its makes the difference between a parts changer to someone who can see past the issue you are having. License #1021, All Lockouts Auto Residential Commercial, Residential & Commercial Re-Key, Code Cut Keys,Master Key,Change Locks,Repair Locks,Install Locks,Panic Bars, Motorcycle Keys

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

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.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

Commercial locksmith services range from $75 to $500, depending on the job's complexity, such as key duplication, lock installation, or access control system setup.

There’s no set time limit for when you should replace your locks, but there are several indicators that it’s time to swap them. If you’re moving into a new home or have a roommate moving out, it’s smart to change the locks. If you experience a break-in or other crime, you should change it then too, or if you ever lose your keys. Eventually, locks can wear out, so it’s ideal to replace them after several years of use or one of these circumstances occurs.
