"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!"

"Sam was wonderful to work with. He communicated with us about everything throughout the project and cleaned up while he worked. We were happy with all the work that was done including demo, drywall, door installation, painting, cabinet install, floor and backsplash tile work. Most importantly, Sam is trustworthy and honest. We would definitely hire Sam to do other projects in the future."

"Without a moment's hesitation, I would recommend Fabian to anyone looking for quality work done by someone who is an artisan, an artist and a jack of all trades. He does it all: electric, tiling, plumbing, painting and more . He did a complete renovation of my master bathroom and extensive updating in 2 others. Because of his cheerful personality, punctuality, reliability, integrity, and flexibility, he made what would ordinarily be a stressful situation an absolute delight. I might also add that he is a consummate diplomat with excellent taste who helped me make choices when I was overwhelmed with selections or without any clear vision. I would hire him again in a heartbeat"

"We've hired them for multiple projects. All done with the highest professionalism. Our projects included a baluster to our basement (With an extra railing for our two year old!). In addition, they helped us install closet doors that needed to be trimmed to fit properly. Would highly recommend."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
