"I highly recommend Bautista Bros. Builders, Inc.! After dealing with ongoing alignment issues with my heavy 8-foot exterior wood French doors that prevented the doors from closing properly, I reached out to them. Hugo responded quickly, provided an accurate & completely reasonable quote, and set up a time to fix it. They arrived on time and they worked on all three of my French doors, including a problematic door that wouldn't lock that absolutely no one else had been able to fix. All three doors work fabulously now! The team was incredibly courteous, professional, and took the time to completely clean up the workspace before leaving. I am so happy with their work and will absolutely hire them again for future projects!"

"I wanted to get a security system but had no clue where to start. I went ahead and used Angie's List as a reference. We’re happy with our experience dealing with Alarm Protection Group. Bought their starter package that covers our doors, windows, 3 motion detectors, and a sleek control panel."

"Jim and Salvador were reliable, respectful and great to work with. They came in and took over the completion of our kitchen renovation after another person left midway through leaving us in quite a bind. Despite the complexities of doing this, they managed to complete an extensive kitchen renovation. I'd work with them again."

"My wife & I contacted six ( 6 ) contractors. Four ( 4 ) responded. We received quotes from those four. Leon Home Repair was the lowest ( by far ). My wife & I spoke to 4 or 5 of their previous customers and they were all VERY satisfied. Two of them were in the process of rehiring them to do additional work. They gutted our entire bathroom. They estimated a time frame of 2 1/2 weeks to complete the job. It took 3 weeks because the co. that installed our countertop was behind schedule. When Leon Home Repairs finished, my wife & I were beyond thrilled with the job. They ( Edison & Mario ) averaged ten ( 10 ) hrs a day working. They cleaned up behind themselves. They were professional & courteous. I would not hesitate to hire them again."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.

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.

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.
