"I was extremely happy with Hank the owner of Standguard Security Inc. I called Hank early in the day for information about an alarm system and he promptly came to my house that same day in the evening for an estimate and other options that he presented to me for my needs. I called him back and we set a time for the installation of a new system that was free ( just needed to sign up for a monitoring service). The day of installation Hank showed up with his tech guy Chris and promptly started to get to work. Chris the tech guy / installer was great and made sure everything was working correctly and answered all of my questions before leaving. They both were professional and I am very happy with the whole process."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Rekeying door locks yourself costs a fraction of what you would expect to pay a locksmith. On average, it costs between $50 to $100 to hire a local locksmith to rekey your house, though labor costs may vary based on where you live. For a DIY solution, you can expect to spend $11 to $25 on a rekeying kit.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.
