"Every morning I open my gym business at 5a! This morning my key broke off in my lock, I reached out to Ryan and he replied back in 15 minutes. He asked for pictures right away and assured me he would be here right after. His level of professionalism is amazing, it feels good to still have good, honest and hard working people. Don't hesitate hiring him for any job. I'll definitely share his information to others"

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

"Gabriel and his employees at ATYS are amazingly meticulous in their work. We had attic stairs replaced, along with a pocket door. I have never met more talented, neater, kinder, more trustworthy and an incredibly fair company then ATYS. It is my absolute pleasure to tell anyone looking, to look no further. This is your company for anything, especially kitchen remodeling, as I have seen."

He adds value and knows what he is doing. Even better, he works with electricians and plumbers who also are experienced and good at what they do. Nick will restore your faith in contractors."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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. 

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.
