"I have a Subaru and I locked my keys in my trunk. The locksmith came right away to help and I am very pleased with the service I received. I went ahead and scheduled an appointment for later in the week to get a spare car key made. Convenient and the prices are very reasonable. I couldn't be happier."

"I would like to recognize employee Doug A at SafeStreet/ADT. We’ve had an old security system sitting in our house for over 15 years without service or functionality. He took the time to explain the differences between how the old systems work and how the new systems work. He was patient with us, and we are happy customers."

"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."

  • They explained every aspect of the job to me .This company is the best that I have hired for home repair ever. The quality of thir workmanship was excellent and their price was fair.. I had many estimates but this company came across as honest where most others did not. I went with my instincts and I was right.  The staff of this company was prompt. polite and professional.  What was so refreshing was they enjoyed working.and they all worked together. They had a good work ethic .  They worked long hours and stayed on this job until it was finished. They appreciated our business and even wrote a thank you note thanking us for their business. I would recommend them to anyone needing any type of home repair. I would like to thank Angie's list for giving me the name of this company.  II's a winner!

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

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. 

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.
