Customers say: Super punctual

"I would absolutely hire them if I had to do it all over again. Very understanding and very knowledgeable with extremely competitive pricing. They use excellent equipment! They were very prompt and a pleasure to work with. The installation was seamless for the alarm system and for the camera surveillance system. They finished the entire job for both systems in a big home within a couple of days. Very pleased with the entire team. Hire them! Description of work should be: installed 5 4K cameras and ran and hid wiring around home. Also installed brand new security alarm system with CO. Fire. Burglar"

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

"With in 30 minutes of going on Angie’s list Brian called and came over to give us a quote on the work we needed. Brian gave us options and guided us in buying the supplies we needed for the work to be preformed. He explained every step of the job. He gave us tips when buying supplies to save money. His work showed the high quality craftsmanship you often can not find anymore. We have since used his service three more times and will continue to use him in the future. He is a hard working and knowledgeable individual. Would highly recommend. When you use him you will know exactly what you getting and his prices are very reasonable."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.

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.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.
