"Elan was attentive to my repair needs. He gave me low cost and higher cost options. He guarantees the work for 2 years. The repairs were a bit more expensive than other locksmiths but he completed the job on the same day right on the spot. I will recommend Elan for future locksmith repairs."

"Tem and I had great conversation leading up to his team coming over to perform the job. He was very detailed in coordinating the pieces of furniture that had to be assembled and the overall job specifications. We actually arrived earlier than we thought so I gave him a call, and he was there within five minutes… An hour earlier than scheduled. From many years of using a handyman, this had to be the best team that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend using their services for any job that you may have."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door.
