"After a couple of unexpected incidents of vandalism in my neighborhood, I decided it is finally time to get serious about security. Angie's List led me to ADT; Fisher (last name) came over to my house the same day I called and walked through my entire place to give suggestions on the security system that best fit my needs. He is helpful and knowledgeable without a hint of pushy sales person. Fisher also secured a next day installation for me. The next day, Hector came to install, it was complex with a wifi camera and a bunch of sensors. Hector was polite, knowledgeable, super helpful and very neat in his installation. He provided a great demonstration and training on how to use the equipment and gave some great suggestions. I had some trouble with the camera the 1st night and I called Hector at 8:30pm, he trouble shoot my problem and resolved it in less than 30 minutes. Overall, a flawless experience. Fast, caring and professional - I would recommend them to anyone looking for a security system. To top it off, the pricing was very reasonable and there are always specials for installation. Two big thumbs up for Fisher and Hector!"

"I sent Art an email asking about his services.  He was extremely prompt in his response and I decided to schedule an appointment.  He was able to get me on his calendar quickly and performed an initial security assessment.  I had all kinds of ideas of what I wanted and I was impressed that Art had a solution for everything.  He's highly knowledgeable in the products and does not try to oversell you anything.
I'm technical and was interested in remote monitoring capabilities and home automation.  While I am technical, you definitely do not need to be to use this security system (or the home automation functionality)...it's all quite simple.  
Due to the nature of a security system, I cannot disclose details on the specific system or the cost.  I can say that it is thorough, complete, and exactly what I wanted.  The solution was customized to my exact needs based on what I wanted, not anything I was pushed towards.
Art is a man of integrity.  He's extremely professional and personable.  Security is not a t-shirt, so why chose a small-medium-large option like the other vendors?  Talk to Art and design the system that best fits your needs.  He will be able to address your questions and give you peace of mind.

"Frank is a really superb guy who's a gifted locksmith. And, furthermore, I really trust him. Let me be honest with you. I've always been anxious about hiring a locksmith. Frank, to me, had superb ratings on Angie's List. He engaged quickly during my quick call to him. We then communicated by text continually. He showed up in a quite impressive, branded commercial truck with all of the fixings! Great guy, very personable. He ably replaced the locks. Frank also checked out my other, external doors. He reinforced all lock plates with extremely long screws. I was impressed! I just wish I had more doors! (Just hire him!!)"

"Both times both technicians at Pocono locksmith were courteous prompt and professional they had comparable pricing and I have definitely recommended them to friends and neighbors if they needed anything in that area. They definitely offer a variety of services from the way it was explained to me on both occasions in case I ever needed any type of services in the future."

"I was accidentally locked out of my bathroom that morning.    
Everything went very well with M&D when I called for their help.  The customer rep who answered the telephone had great customer service skills.  M&D were quick to respond and they managed my expectations around the locksmith's time of arrival.  M&D sent a very competent worker named Daniel who assessed the situation and described all my options and prices before moving forward.  Of course, I would have liked the total price to be lower but the locksmith was so professional that I decided to replace other old/missing locks in the house as well.  
Daniel went back to the store, collected the additional door knobs and locks and returned to complete the rest of the job. He moved quickly and efficiently and was very pleasant to interact with.  In addition, he gave me quick tutorials on a couple of the new locks.  I was very pleased to have so much work done after having postponing the lock changes for so long.  M&D turned my bathroom lock-out accident into a positive experience!

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

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.

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.
