"Excellent experience from start to finish! I recommend AJ's Home Repairs to anyone who wants to have a job done right. Abel, in addition to being very knowledgeable about my project, is an honest and ethical person who takes pride in providing quality work. He listens to what you want done and then explains what he can do. He takes the time to give suggestions and options, asking for your input along the way. Abel and his team: Tom and Chad were very polite, professional, and personable - very easy to work with. These men showed up when they said and got to work immediately. They worked hard and efficiently and cleaned up afterward. They provided a quality service at a fair price. I will not hesitate to call on Abel in the future as the need arises because I know that I can count on him to do what I need in a timely manner at a fair price. I am so happy that I chose AJ's Home Repairs to do my work!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.
