"I can?t say enough good things about Ari and his locksmith service! I was locked out of my apartment late at night, and within minutes, Ari was on the way. Not only did he arrive quickly, but he was professional, friendly, and got me back inside without any damage to the lock. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. He explained everything clearly, charged a fair price (no surprise fees), and even gave me some great security tips. Finding a trustworthy locksmith can be tough, but Ari is the real deal. If you ever need a locksmith, this is the guy to call!"

"I highly recommend hiring Sal The Door Guy of LI. Sal did an exceptional job installing our front door. He was highly professional, punctual, and demonstrated great attention to detail throughout the process. Since the installation, we have received numerous compliments on the door, and both my husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the result. We are incredibly happy we trusted The Door Guy of LI with this project."

"I was extremely happy with Hank the owner of Standguard Security Inc. I called Hank early in the day for information about an alarm system and he promptly came to my house that same day in the evening for an estimate and other options that he presented to me for my needs. I called him back and we set a time for the installation of a new system that was free ( just needed to sign up for a monitoring service). The day of installation Hank showed up with his tech guy Chris and promptly started to get to work. Chris the tech guy / installer was great and made sure everything was working correctly and answered all of my questions before leaving. They both were professional and I am very happy with the whole process."

"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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

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.

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

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. 

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.
