"Joseph came to the house on time, did the work and explained what he was doing along the way. He also asked how we liked it and if there was a tweak to do he was happy to do it. When done, he cleaned up around all the doors. His work was excellent and just what we needed. I would recommend him highly to anyone who needed work done on doors."

"We had various custom projects which included welding and metal fabrication. Darius is knowledgeable and very creative. He showed great skills in many areas of the trades allowing him to deliver great product. One of the projects was to fabricate and replicate hard to find construction equipment panels (skid steer and dump truck) which were a perfect fit. Always helpful and shows up when needed. We'll hire him again. Hard to find craftsmen like this."

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

You can cut a door knob off using a sawzall, but you risk causing additional damage to the door itself. You’ll also need to completely replace the door knob, costing you extra money and another trip to the hardware store.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal).
