"They were on time, friendly, and professional. Turns out my rusty old locks needed a few extra tools but they just took a trip to their truck and got them off with ease. Plus they were rather affordable considering some other quotes I received. Definitely would recommend 👌"

"I would like to recognize employee Doug A at SafeStreet/ADT. We’ve had an old security system sitting in our house for over 15 years without service or functionality. He took the time to explain the differences between how the old systems work and how the new systems work. He was patient with us, and we are happy customers."

"I sent Art an email asking about his services.  He was extremely prompt in his response and I decided to schedule an appointment.  He was able to get me on his calendar quickly and performed an initial security assessment.  I had all kinds of ideas of what I wanted and I was impressed that Art had a solution for everything.  He's highly knowledgeable in the products and does not try to oversell you anything.
I'm technical and was interested in remote monitoring capabilities and home automation.  While I am technical, you definitely do not need to be to use this security system (or the home automation functionality)...it's all quite simple.  
Due to the nature of a security system, I cannot disclose details on the specific system or the cost.  I can say that it is thorough, complete, and exactly what I wanted.  The solution was customized to my exact needs based on what I wanted, not anything I was pushed towards.
Art is a man of integrity.  He's extremely professional and personable.  Security is not a t-shirt, so why chose a small-medium-large option like the other vendors?  Talk to Art and design the system that best fits your needs.  He will be able to address your questions and give you peace of mind.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.
