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. License #1021, All Lockouts Auto Residential Commercial, Residential & Commercial Re-Key, Code Cut Keys,Master Key,Change Locks,Repair Locks,Install Locks,Panic Bars, Motorcycle Keys

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

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. 

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.
