"We’ve used Fix-it all for several projects the past few years. Mike was the guy sent out to remodel our bathroom. I’m very satisfied with that final result. Joe repaired our garage door trim and seals. He did an excellent job and was done in no time. Very satisfied with that project too. Kayan; Joe and Jesse just finished up our wooden fence repairs and did a very professional job. I’d recommend Fix-It-All for all your home repairs."

"Jerry and his son showed up on time Around 1:00 P. M. My project was to install 2 new garage door openers and program several remote controls. The project was completed about 4:00 P. M. After testing and adjusting the operation of the openers and the remote controls, they packed up the cartons and hauled away all of the remainsing cartons and trash. I noticed that during the installation that they consulted all of the manufacturers instructions to insure the install was carefully completed according to the instructions to insure the safety features were working properly. They were very professional and carefully explained all of the operations and safety features of the openers before leaving around 4:00 P. M."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

The benefit of deadbolt locks is that they're much harder to force open than simple locks with pin tumbler mechanisms, so they may offer added security. This feature is why many locksmiths recommend deadbolts for home security. For many households, this added protection and peace of mind is well worth the cost of installing a deadbolt.

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.

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.
