"Great trustworthy Locksmith. Aaron came out on 8/29/2021. He replaced and re-keyed 6 locks for us. He arrived on time and was professional throughout the entire experience. On top of the replacement of the locks and re-keying (which was tricky since I didn't have one of the original keys) he also had to deal with a door misalignment issue at no additional charge. I would definitely recommend working with Aaron's Locksmith Service based on my experience. - Scott C."

"I can?t say enough good things about Ari and his locksmith service! I was locked out of my apartment late at night, and within minutes, Ari was on the way. Not only did he arrive quickly, but he was professional, friendly, and got me back inside without any damage to the lock. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. He explained everything clearly, charged a fair price (no surprise fees), and even gave me some great security tips. Finding a trustworthy locksmith can be tough, but Ari is the real deal. If you ever need a locksmith, this is the guy to call!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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). 

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.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there’s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it’s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.

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.
