"Called Jason to cut and program a key for my truck. He was out the same day writhing a couple hours and got it done in 10 minutes. Very professional and quick and economical. Will be using him for all my rental keys moving forward."

"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 hired them to do a lot of odd jobs around the house.  During the estimate Jason fixed the crawl space door and showed me how to fix some of my doors for no cost.  I still hired him to do more work to be done next week.  This honesty was great!

"We were very pleased with the service. Joe arrived in less than 30 minutes, late in the evening on a cold Sunday night. He confirmed that we were the residents and assessed the door. He was not able to get us in the front door (explained later) so he went to the back where he had to pick 2 locks to get us in. Upon leaving we discovered that we still couldn't open the front door from the inside. He used tools to open the door from the inside (which he said he had never seen before) and then examined the door to determine the locking mechanism had broken when we left the house, locking the door from both sides and leaving the door handle unattached. He could have just let us in and left, but he took the extra time to uncover the culprit. He offered to stay and fix the door but being so late, we agreed to wait."

"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

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

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.

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

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.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.
