"Within At the very least 20 minutes of calling the business at first and setting up an appointment, the technician was at my front door. His professionalism and friendly demeanor outshined my grumpy negative attitude, regarding the situation, I put myself in. He explained everything technically that he had to do in order to open the door, the payment process was easy and again,!his arrival was very timely. Overall This was the best locksmith experience I’ve ever had. Thank you again."

"Kim did an amazing job, the filter canister, which is located in a very difficult a cases crawl space, was basically glued and almost impossible to open. He spent almost 3 hours at my home I am 100% sure that if was another Handman, he would tell me either to get a plumber or leave without do the service. Again, it was NOT easy and Kim was just phenomenal! Plus a very nice person to talk to. I was really lucky to find Kim!"

"Very well. Every time I have worked with Handyman they have been very nice and professional. I was surprised to find out they work on fences. We use them at our law firm but now that I know about the fence work, I will be calling for my fence."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

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.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.
