"I recently had the pleasure of working with Carl on a remodeling project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial quote to the completion of the project, Carl demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. He got right in for the quote and took quick action to get the job done in a timely manner. Throughout the project, Carl was proficient, neat, and communicated every step clearly. The project involved fixing multiple holes and dings in the wall, painting, replacing baseboards, removing carpet, placing new flooring, and even changing light bulbs in a high chandelier in the entranceway. Despite the extensive work, I felt the cost was very reasonable. Carl's work was not only high-quality but also done with a friendly and approachable attitude. I would definitely use Carl's services again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable and skilled contractor. You won’t be disappointed!"

"ADT is the best company 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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey.
