"We were not locked out, but our key only worked with great difficulty. We called late Saturday night and he came on Sunday. No one else answered the phone or even called me back. He answered the phone late Saturday night and made an appointment the next day. He replaced our lock. Sunny was kind and efficient. His tech couldn't make it, so he came himself. He was very polite and easy to work with. Sunny is a hero!"

Over the past year he’s fixed a number of major and minor electrical problems, installed new power outlets, installed 4 ecobee’s, installed new LED lights, replaced a broken lock on my garage door, fixed a broken front door lock, installed a water purification system and garbage disposal, fixed broken toilets and a few drain issues. I highly recommend David!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Always consider security a top priority in your home. Perform a safety inspection of your home. Look for broken locks and rusty deadbolts, and take an inventory of who has access to your keys.

Consider the locks on your shed, safe, and other household items. Professional locksmiths can help you determine the best safety and security options for your home and feel at ease.

When a locksmith comes to your home, ensure your safety by having the locksmith show identification and provide an itemized invoice that you can reference later.

The most secure lock for a front door is typically a deadbolt. There are many types of deadbolts to choose from, the most basic of which is the standard single-cylinder deadbolt. This is the lock you find installed on most front doors. For added security, you could go with a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate the lock from both the outside and the inside. 

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.

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

You can cut a door knob off using a sawzall, but you risk causing additional damage to the door itself. You’ll also need to completely replace the door knob, costing you extra money and another trip to the hardware store.
