"If you need a handyman who doesn't cut corners, hire MK. He is highly skilled, honest, and professional. He handled the removal of our old unit and the installation of the new range hood with ease and went out of his way to make sure the final result looked beautiful and perfectly integrated into our kitchen."

"Joe does great work! He's a very respectful and considerate professional. I don't trust easily and Joe is the only contractor who I would trust to do work in my home while I'm not there. He does a lot more than what he advertises so just ask for a quote and I bet you'll be surprised."

"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."

"Chris did excellent work. His capabilities to do various handyman projects is great. He has completed many projects for me, I have an old home and we found a few pin holes in my plumbing that have started to show up in my downstairs. We worked together and he helped me replace all the piping. He also installed crown molding in my dining room for me and did a fantastic job. Chris has all the qualities you can ask for; reliability, accountability, responsibility and he provides great value. What you pay for and what he accomplishes, he does a quality job in a timely manner."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

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.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

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.
