"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

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

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.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

Rekeying door locks yourself costs a fraction of what you would expect to pay a locksmith. On average, it costs between $50 to $100 to hire a local locksmith to rekey your house, though labor costs may vary based on where you live. For a DIY solution, you can expect to spend $11 to $25 on a rekeying kit.

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.
