I have been doing Remodel work for over 25 years I work by myself so you will get a very good job. You will receive a printed copy of your estimate describing the work to be done and the cost, and I always ask for 50 percent down on my contract before the job will be done.

At Lawful Rogue Lockouts LLC I specialize in non-destructive entry and bypassing of locks. I do my best to stay up to date on all tools, techniques, and breakthroughs made in my industry when it comes to home, auto, and commercial lockouts. The last thing anyone wants is for their lock to be damaged or broken during a lockout or to have to pay for a replacement lock with no notice. I have a very large list of tools that I go through before I ever even consider using a drill or any other form of destructive entry. I've climbed through home windows and car trunks and squeezed through packed garages and sheds all to avoid damage to a customer's property. I come from a background of working in a full-service locksmith shop so I can certainly perform a variety of services, but lockouts remain my favorite and preferred service. I love helping those in need and outsmarting locks in any way possible.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

There are different types of deadbolts. The most common type is a single-cylinder deadbolt, which you may recognize on your front door. This type of lock has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. A double-cylinder deadbolt has two locking mechanisms and requires a key to engage on the inside as well as the outside. 

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

Any type of dead bolt lock provides the highest level of safety for a single device. However, it’s also important to determine a lock's grade. Locks can come in either Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, which indicates how durable it is and if it’s constructed solidly. Safety experts recommend choosing locks based on Grade 1, which offers the highest level of durability.

First, maintain composure and avoid forcing it further. Inspect the key to see if enough material remains exposed for extraction. Use pliers or tweezers to grasp and gently pull out the broken piece if possible. Lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray to aid removal. If self-removal proves challenging or risks damaging the lock, seek a professional locksmith's assistance. They possess the necessary tools and expertise to extract the key without causing damage.

A smart lock is a variation of a traditional lock, and since it uses similar locking mechanisms, it’s technically not any safer. The difference is that a smart lock requires a login instead of a physical key. Some smart locks have added safety features, like shutting down after too many attempts with the wrong code. Some smart locks are considered harder to pick than traditional locks, which can further deter intruders.
