"Sergiy and his crew are great! I am remodeling my kitchen and they completed a handful of projects for me. They care about their work quality and are very professional. Sergiy was transparent with what work was being done and the associated costs. I would highly recommend Sergiy and his team!"

"Fabrizio the manager is wonderful, caring and has a great crew. This was the 2nd time we used their service, first was fence repair/ replacement, and now total yard cleanup, landscaping, deck repair. Both time we got fair quote, prompt estimate, crew was on time, worked hard, and cleaned up nicely after the job was finished. Fabrizio went over and above to accommodate our requests, made us feel well cared, we parted like friends. Highly recommend!"

"Ben did a wonderful job matching our existing cabinets and hardware from about 10 years prior. He was fast, professional, and knowledgeable. The cost was right on par with competitors, even a little lower than some. I’m very pleased with the end results. He also patched the holes created from moving some existing cabinets to their new location. The wall we converted into cabinets required electrical to be moved and he was able to do that without incurring the cost of an electrician. I would absolutely use him again for another project."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.
