"Bruce answered the phone himself and happily answered all my questions. He recommended that I purchase my locks ahead of time so that I could choose my own style and color. He informed me of his charges for each action, so I was able to know the cost within a few dollars ahead of time.
The day of the appointment, Bruce arrived precisely on time and was pleasant and professional the whole time here. His work was very good and he cleaned up after himself then again answered any questions I had. Prices were within expectations.
I would recommend East Coast Lock and Key for any residential door work needed.

"Had a hard time initially setting up some time for an appointment â kept sending messages right after receiving messages and having to reach back out hours later to see if my previous message was received. I found it to be pretty frustrating when time was of the essence and it took several tries to finally get an appointment scheduled. That being said, service was timely and quick and the locksmith was personable, friendly, and professional. Really pleased with the results."

"Excellent service and responsiveness from start to finish. Couldn't ask for a more professional experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Goings Safe and Lock for any locksmith work - 110% positive interaction. Arrived right on time, explained what he would be doing before starting, explained anticipated charges after reviewing the needed work, and cut the new keys before leaving."

"I can't say enough good about this place they know how to take care of their customers. I had a problem at another lock and key store and Higgins lock and key fixed it right the first time and free of charge.

"Choice responded quickly but the insurance plan does not pay for all doors to be re-keyed unless you have very few locks. The number of locks covered by the insurance is determined by keyholes, not doors! (Read your policy!) You will likely have to shell out some money to have this essential new-home service if you have more than four keyholes. The locksmith they called was EXCELLENT and made all our locks completely functional. We will happily hire the locksmith again (R.L Locksmith LLC). We paid $201.81 (plus another $50 for some door re-alignment not included in the re-keying benefit) and Choice paid $100 for the job."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.
