"In Your Home have definitely become my go-to company for just about everything connected with home maintenance, repairs and remodeling. They have worked on various projects for us over the years, and we have always been very satisfied with their work. They are experts in accessibility design, and have just finished a major remodeling of our hall bathroom to improve accessibility. They have an excellent team: the design consultant, the site manager, the lead person for the project, all work together efficiently and quickly to make the process as smooth as possible. They maintain really good communications with clients, and are very responsive in answering questions and resolving minor issues that arise. The remodel is finished and the new bathroom is beautiful and very functional. IYH is already working on other projects for us - deck cleaning and refinishing, driveway cleaning and sealing, and other minor alterations, and everything gets done right the first time. They are very meticulous in maintaining good hygiene and safety measures to make work during the pandemic safe. A really wonderful company to work with, and I would highly recommend them. My warmest thanks to all involved."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

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.
