"I needed four locks changed on my front and back doors, two on the inside and two on the outside as the locks I had were pretty old and worn out. I called Angel and he gave me a great price. I asked Angel about high security locks, and he said those would be a better option than standard locks. Angel was on time and very professional. He even showed me the difference between the standard locks and the high security locks. What a great guy. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking for a reliable locksmith that is honest and caring."

"Pete was terrific in helping us reconnect an alarm system in our Sherman Oaks condo. He was professional, courteous and responded quickly to inquiries. He visited our condo to review our needs, provided a reasonable quote and set up an appointment to get the work done within a few days. He helped us conceal the alarm control box which was positioned in a closet in a way that pushed up against clothing. Now, the box is hidden and the closet set-up more convenient. I highly recommend SafeStreets-ADT Authorized Provider."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it’s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you’re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

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.

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.
