"Alexander was very considerate about setting a time for the locksmith service and calling me regarding delays because of the horrible weather and road conditions that day. He carried all necessary parts in his truck. He was very efficient in getting the job done. I was very happy."

"Stanley was a great person to work with.  He was prompt and worked hard to get all of our locks on the same key and in working order.  We bought an older home and the previous owner had a different key for each door, he was able to put all doors on the same key and special ordered a cylinder for one of the locks as it was giving us trouble and an original lock dating over 70 years.  We appreciated all of his work and recommend him to anyone looking for a locksmith."

"Greg was fabulous. He repaired my lock, as well as other issues with the door. Very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond showing me what was wrong, what was repaired and how to maintain my doors/locks. I would use Random Hero Locksmith for future needs and I do recommend them."

"Choice responded quickly but the insurance plan does not pay for all doors to be re-keyed unless you have very few locks. The number of locks covered by the insurance is determined by keyholes, not doors! (Read your policy!) You will likely have to shell out some money to have this essential new-home service if you have more than four keyholes. The locksmith they called was EXCELLENT and made all our locks completely functional. We will happily hire the locksmith again (R.L Locksmith LLC). We paid $201.81 (plus another $50 for some door re-alignment not included in the re-keying benefit) and Choice paid $100 for the job."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in.
