"No sooner did I place the inquiry with Home Advisor and Ryan was calling me minutes later. He came out that day, gave me a few options at a reasonable price. I would certainly use again for locksmith services."

"Sean is great. Reliable, ready, fair pricing. He works pretty quickly too, so I was able to tackle multiple jobs in one day. Sean has been my go to guy for turning the plumbing on and off, water damage repair, porch repair, painting, staining, gutter replacement, really almost anything that comes up. If he doesn’t know how to do something he is honest about it, and happy to learn new stuff. Polite, good guy and always leaves the place clean!"

"He came right away & gave me an estimate & was able to do the repair immediately. I was so happy because someone had kicked in my front door at 4:00 am & I needed it to be fixed asap. Thanks to him, I can sleep better tonight. He was very nice, professional & totally cleaned up afterwards. I’d definitely hire him again with no hesitation."

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.
