General Handyman Services. I do not sub contract any of my work. I do all of the work myself and you will deal directly with me for all work. I abide by all requirements of state and local licensing. The final bill will never exceed the estimate that we have agreed upon. We do not charge for estimates or travel time. We do what we say and we show up on time every time. We clean up after every job and leave the site as good or better than it was before we started. I would like Angie's List members to know that if you wish to contact me to schedule an estimate or a job please call me at 704-998-8708 or e-mail me at [email protected]. Thank you, Ken Zappone

Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

We are a family business specializing in providing high-quality locksmith service at affordable, discount prices. We are a full-service automotive, residential, and commercial locksmith company. We give flat, straight-forwarding prices over the phone, no run-around. All of our locksmiths work in-house. We accept payment (cash, credit, or debit) when the job is complete, and we offer billing for larger jobs.

"They were very responsive and we set up an appointment for them to come out in about 30 minutes. It was more like an hour and 30 minutes but they stayed touch and kept me up to date. Sal did a great job of both replacing the knob and keying the locks to match those in the garage. They were courteous and got the job done with little fuss."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.
