"Tom is the best highly experienced locksmith near me. He is very kind, caring and a very highly knowledgeable locksmith. He came on time to my home. I used him several times already and would never look for a different locksmith. When you meet Tom, you will feel the same as I do. He works efficiently and I very highly recommend choosing him for your personal locksmith job. You will be glad with your choice. Very reasonably priced too."

"Eric was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and thorough throughout the entire installation process. He took the time to explain everything he was doing and made sure I understood the work being completed. I highly recommend Eric for his expertise and excellent service. I also look forward to having him return to install the new handle he recommended. Thank you Eric!"

"Handyman extraordinaire! Brian shows up on time, communicates well and does a meticulous job. He is consistent in providing high quality work at a reasonable price. I trust Brian to do what is needed and all his work has stood the test of time. We used him on multiple projects over a long period and were always satisfied with his work. He is highly recommended. We were selfishly sad to hear that he decided to relocate to the East Coast as it is difficult to find anyone to replace him that is as good, as consistent and as straightforward to deal with."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

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.

As with any computer, smart locks can be hacked by someone with the technical skills to do so, but most people do not have that ability, making smart locks relatively safe. If you have any concerns about a compromised smart lock, opt for an encrypted smart lock, change your Wi-Fi password, and make sure that you only give out your password to trusted family and friends.

Smart deadbolts are a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking more convenience, flexibility, and advanced features than a traditional deadbolt can provide. While a strong conventional deadbolt offers sufficient security for most, smart deadbolts provide significant upgrades.

Key benefits include keyless entry via smartphone, keypads, or biometric sensors, and the ability to lock or unlock your door remotely. You can also manage access for guests by creating temporary codes, eliminating the need for physical keys and the risk of them being lost or duplicated. Many models integrate with smart home systems and offer features like automatic locking, entry-exit monitoring, and tamper alerts with encryption for enhanced security.

However, there are downsides to consider. Smart deadbolts are more expensive than their traditional counterparts and rely on batteries and wireless networks to function. This dependency introduces potential vulnerabilities, such as hacking by skilled intruders and privacy concerns. Installation can also be more complex. Despite these drawbacks, the added layer of convenience and protection makes them a compelling option for many.

Begin by checking the power source, typically a battery or wired connection. Ensure the battery is installed correctly, has sufficient charge, and isn't corroded. If it's a wired lock, examine the electrical connections to confirm they are secure and free from damage. Additionally, inspect the lock's programming or settings. Confirm that user codes or access credentials are programmed correctly and that any remote control devices are paired and functional.
