"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.?"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

It’s best to avoid using oil-based lubricants within a lock because they attract larger amounts of dust and debris. When this occurs, it can make it harder for you to operate the lock, or it can even cause damage to the internal locking mechanism. A dry lubricant is the ideal solution instead.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

Rekeying a lock is less expensive than replacing the whole unit. The cost to rekey is about $50 to $100 when you hire a pro or as little as $10 if you DIY. The cost to change a lock is $130 to $500, depending on the hardware you select.

There are different types of deadbolts. The most common type is a single-cylinder deadbolt, which you may recognize on your front door. This type of lock has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. A double-cylinder deadbolt has two locking mechanisms and requires a key to engage on the inside as well as the outside.
