"I would like to recognize employee Doug A at SafeStreet/ADT. We’ve had an old security system sitting in our house for over 15 years without service or functionality. He took the time to explain the differences between how the old systems work and how the new systems work. He was patient with us, and we are happy customers."

"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."

Customers say: True professional

"Fantastic! We had hired a handyman from SMAP ( send me a pro ) to install a new bathroom door for us and he did such a terrible job that the door would not even close. Hg came out and corrected the situation so we now have a perfectly functioning door. We now know who to recommend , and who not to recommend, when work needs to be done."

"Great honest contractors. They did my bathrooms, hot water heater, unclogged my house drain and they did a French drain so my basement is not wet anymore. I already hired them to do my whole roof in the spring. I will hire them anytime."

"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.

Founded in 1936, Southern Alarm & Security is the oldest and largest locally-owned security alarm company in the Western North Carolina region. We are also the only locally-owned company that is UL-listed for commercial alarm systems installations and are the area’s exclusive security alarm dealer for the First Alert Professional line of security products and services. We serve the entire region of Western North Carolina from our three offices located at 305 South King Street in Hendersonville, 311 Highlands Road in Franklin and 135 Sweeten Creek Road in Asheville. Our line of security services includes systems for Burglary, Fire, Personal Emergency, Environmental Conditions, Home Theater and Automation, Video Surveillance, and Keyless Entry/Access Control, for residential, commercial and industrial applications.\n\nOur History\n\nIn 1936, Thomas D. Clark of Hendersonville had a “burglar alarm system” installed in his grocery warehouse by Southern Burglar Alarm Company of Belton, SC. Intrigued by this new "gadget", Mr. Clark decided to explore the possibility of going into the business himself since there were no alarm companies in Western North Carolina at the time. After some friendly negotiations, Mr. Clark bought a franchise from the Belton company for $1.00, and Southern Burglar Alarm Company of Hendersonville, NC was born.\n\nFor the next forty-one years, Mr. Clark ran the business from his home, with six employees at the most at any one time, including his wife, Emma, who did all the bookkeeping. They installed systems as far away as Raleigh, NC, Columbia, SC, Athens, GA and Johnson City, TN because there were few, if any, alarm companies at the time to serve those areas. In 1962, the business became incorporated in North Carolina.\n\nAt the tender age of 84, Mr. Clark began thinking about retirement. He had been approached a year or so earlier by local businessman Dan Waddell who had an interest in buying the company if it were ever for sale; so Mr. Clark decided to take him up on it. Following a short period of negotiation, a deal was struck, and Mr. Waddell, along with his daughter and son-in-law, Sharon and Steve Johnson, purchased the company on January 1, 1977. Steve became the operating manager, and along with the five employees who came along with the deal, a new era of Southern Burglar Alarm Company was launched.\n\nWe have made great strides since 1977, with several significant milestones having taken place:\n\nIn 1982, we became the first (and we are still the only) locally-owned alarm company in Western North Carolina to become certified by Underwriter’s Laboratories, the only nationally recognized testing agency for security systems installations.\n\nIn 1990, we were chosen to be the exclusive security dealer in WNC for First Alert Professional Security Systems, one of the largest and most recognizable names in the security industry today.\n\nSince 1985, we have acquired five smaller alarm companies, including WNC Security in Brevard and Appalachian Security in Franklin, enhancing our ability to more effectively serve the resort/retirement communities of the beautiful Western North Carolina Mountains.\n\nAlthough still incorporated as Southern Burglar Alarm Company, Inc., we have changed our D/B/A name to Southern Alarm & Security to reflect a more general and expanded array of services.\n\nWe have three offices located in Asheville, Franklin, and our corporate office in Hendersonville.\n\n

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

Standard residential deadbolt locks come with a steel bolt that locks your door into place using a key (or keypad) on one side and a thumb turn on the other. When you lock it, the bolt slides into a strike plate on your door jamb to secure your door shut.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key. 

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.
