"I had an excellent experience with this locksmith company when I needed help at my house. They arrived quickly after my call and immediately got to work. The technician was professional, polite, and clearly experienced. They fixed my lock fast without causing any damage to my door. Everything was handled smoothly, and I felt secure again in no time. I truly appreciate their fast and professional service and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Our dealings with Protect Your Home/ADT were delightful. We received a call back very fast after requesting a quote through Angie's List. We were able to complete everything on the phone; there was no paperwork or downtime. I had to call Customer Service with a question about the keypad, and they ended up telling me other helpful details on top of my original question."

"We are so pleased with the work JDI Handyman completed for us. I called for an estimate and Jon set an appointment and kept it! He arrived when they said he would, gave an appropriate estimate and set a date for the work to begin. Nick showed up on time, got right on the projects and finished the work in a timely manner plus, cleaned up the area where work was performed. I have not had any luck finding responsible companies to come and even give an estimate over the past 6 months (that's how long we've been trying to get someone to come out!) until I called JDI. We are looking forward to having JDI perform more repair projects for us in the near future. I highly recommend them for any home improvement or home repair projects you might have."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

Changing door locks is a task that most homeowners can accomplish on their own. Standard door knobs are quite straightforward, and even more advanced locks, like electronic or smart locks, generally come with instructions. That said, the process can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to replace multiple locks around the house. It’s also a task that you want to complete correctly, considering that it affects the security of your house. That’s why hiring a pro is often best when changing your door locks.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.
