Full service locksmith and safe company offering professional service since 1985. NC Licence #0495. GSA Certified Safe, Vault and Container Technician and Inspector, S&G 2740 Certification, Kaba Mas X-09/X-10 Certification .

"Steve was prompt in answering my initial call, prompt in scheduling (including asking to arrive earlier), and was right on time for the appointment. He assessed the work to be performed and didn't mind that I added on changing out a doorknob. He left everything as clean as he found it and was very kind. Prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him!"

Work in Wilmington area. I am a mobile locksmith. Licensed from the state of North Carolina through the NC Locksmith Board #1021. Licensed, Bonded, and Insured. I am a one man show, so I feel I can give more personal attention to your needs of the security of your home, business, or automotive Some people want to sell you items but I recommend what I see from my experience. If I cannot do the work I can always recommend someone who can usually do the work for you. I did not come a family of locksmiths so I attended the Arizona School of Locksmithing in Phoenix, AZ (http://www.azschooloflocksmithing.org/ ). It was a real life, hands on school with classwork time. However locksmiths do not just pop-up over night, its experience and knowledge. Its makes the difference between a parts changer to someone who can see past the issue you are having.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A deadbolt lock is typically considered more secure than a regular lock based on its internal construction. Each deadbolt type has varying levels of security, ranging from withstanding a small amount of force to those that can take on multiple strikes and greater force. Regular locks provide little to no security and are typically used more for easy entry and simple installation.

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. 

Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.

Various types of deadbolts are available, from the classic single-cylinder lock to a double-cylinder, rim deadbolt, smart deadbolt, and electronic deadbolt lock. Most homes in the U.S. use a single-cylinder deadbolt lock, which requires a key on the exterior and only a thumb turn on the interior to open or close the lock. 

Rekeying a lock is less expensive than replacing the whole unit. The cost to rekey is about $50 to $100 when you hire a pro or as little as $10 if you DIY. The cost to change a lock is $130 to $500, depending on the hardware you select.
