"I needed a home security system for my 81 yr old mother who lives in the Lehigh Valley. I live in Los Angeles and needed something done quickly that would be easy to operate and also be controlled remotely from my phone or computer. These are the guys you call. I called all the top names in the business and would only be able to speak with a sales center. When you call Shield you speak directly with the owner Art Rosenberger. I explained the situation and Art suggested a set up that addressed all of our needs and concerns. On top of that Art was there for the install. His guys were all very professional and took the time to explain the system to my mother, who is not tech savvy. His price is very competitive and the product is fantastic. You can pay for the service monthly, quarterly or yearly and are not locked into a contract. Look not further, save yourself a lot of hassle and call Art."

"J&j were so professional they listen to my needs for the security of my home. They suggested what might be the appropriate resolution they were responsive to my questions. I made a decision on what hardware to purchase hardware to purchase. They made an appointment to install. They were on time. They were clean about the work they did. They gave me full instructions on how to operate my security Smart Lock and how to teach people we would be using it in the future. I cannot say enough about the excellence of their work. I am so pleased that I found out I highly suggest that you check them out if you are looking for something in the security realm"

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.

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.

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. 

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacing locks. Professional rekeying costs between $40 and $160, sometimes with an additional fee of $15 to $40 per lock. A locksmith's hourly rate averages around $75. If you do it yourself, a rekeying kit can cost as little as $10. In contrast, replacing a lock costs between $130 and $500, with an average of around $315, depending on the hardware and lock type. Rekeying is a simpler process that changes the key for your existing lock without replacing the hardware. It is a good option if you have a quality lock that works well, you've recently moved, you've lost a key, or you need a quick security upgrade. The best choice depends on the condition of your current locks.
