"I needed a key fob programmed for my Volvo, and after calling almost 10 locksmiths, Eli was the only one who could do the job. I felt very confident working with Eli. He is super skilled and very kind. Easily the best locksmith in Buffalo. This is where you should go. Cannot recommend enough!!"

Customers say: Quality work

"I lost my car keys and was not able to start my car. I looked for a car locksmith over several days and I sent Bob an email, Bob responded quickly and came over to my place. Bob cut and programed the ignition key. Bob has very expensive equipment to do the job, he is very professional and very easy to work it, he updated me several times and told me when he will be at my place. I recommend Bob to do the job."

"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"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."

"I needed a keyless entry lock installed in my AirBnB and also needed some keys made. Simon arrived on time, was very kind and professional and completed the job quickly. He also showed me how to change the key code on the lock which is important because of the guest turnover in my rental. I highly recommend Simon. I've already scheduled another appointment with him to install a new door."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

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.
