"I went to Bend Lock & Safe just yesterday to get a hopefully secure chain and lock for my fat-tire Ebike, after they were recommended by Nextdoor Neighbor as being honest and helpful. A young man, Jimmy, helped me and was very nice. I was all set to give a good review until my husband found the EXACT same ABUS lock (83CS/50) online today for under $25. I wanted to support local vs ordering online but not at the ridiculous mark-up that BL&S charges. I paid $77.45 just for the lock-not including the chain. Also, the box my lock came in has a sticker of $65.30, which I didn't realize until today?. So I was overcharged $12.15 on the ABUS lock ... aside from the crazy mark-up. I also thought the display price BL&S has of the chain samples included the cloth protective sleeve, as I saw no mention o it not being a "unit" price, but that's an extra charge I wasn't expecting. I realize that BL&S is a business, and businesses have a mark-up,but that's a ridiculous percentage and I feel ripped off and scammed and feel like returning the whole set-up. Now I don't even feel sure that I was guided correctly to a good secure chain and lock set up.?"

LICENSE CCB# 168507. SERVING OREGON SINCE 1970

"This was a difficult project due to steep, uneven terrain and numerous large rocks in the fence route, some of which required jackhammering to remove. Fred and Bryan were extremely helpful suggesting options for dealing with these challenges and explaining the pros and cons and cost differences of each. Crew members acted professionally and were communicative and hard working. Both design and construction were accomplished during the height of a very busy season. The schedule was revised several times and information was readily provided to us as these revisions arose. The end product is beautiful, effective and already garnering numerous positive comments."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.
