Customers say: Super punctual

"Hire this company! Donnie is the best, he and his crew can do literally anything. I also felt totally comfortable with him and Chris in my home when my husband was out, which is a big deal if you're a woman looking for handyman services. They came over on a Saturday, within hours of my request. They worked diligently, removing an old tv that was stuck to a low profile frame. They carefully placed the new tv and mounted the old tv in our room, without a single fingerprint. I already rebooked them for furniture help!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Typically, it can take around 15 minutes to rekey a lock. The time depends on the type of lock and how skilled you are at rekeying. The first time you rekey a lock, it may take a little longer. Once you get the hang of the process, it will move along much more quickly.

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.

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.

Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.
