"Five-Star Review for Urban Locksmith ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had to call Urban Locksmith for an emergency lockout situation, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service! From the moment I contacted them, their customer support was friendly and responsive. The technician arrived promptly and was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He quickly assessed the situation and had me back inside my home in no time. I also appreciated their transparent pricing – no hidden fees or surprises. It's clear that Urban Locksmith values customer satisfaction and takes pride in their work. I highly recommend them to anyone needing locksmith services. A fantastic experience overall! Thank you, Urban Locksmith!"

"Temur is very professional and courteous. He has done several jobs at our home installing interior doors, updating a linen closet and doing our stair handrail. Every job was done in excellence. I am very pleased with the outcome of his work. He is very detailed and ensures the job will be completed in the time-frame he provides to you. I would highly recommend T&S Handyman."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

Begin by checking the power source, typically a battery or wired connection. Ensure the battery is installed correctly, has sufficient charge, and isn't corroded. If it's a wired lock, examine the electrical connections to confirm they are secure and free from damage. Additionally, inspect the lock's programming or settings. Confirm that user codes or access credentials are programmed correctly and that any remote control devices are paired and functional.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

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.
