"When we needed to get all of our house locks re-keyed, we were referred to Rick by another locksmith who did not work on Saturdays. Rick took our call by 10:15, quoted an accurate price, arrived within the hour, and the work was completed by noon. Besides re-keying the locks, he made 8 keys for us and even made several door knobs and deadbolts work better than they have in years. Rick was professional and courteous. I would highly recommend him.

"We contracted with L&R Security over 30 years ago to secure our former home. Our system and the service we received along with it were so superb that we hired them again 2 1/2 years ago when we moved to a new home. Ray and his competent staff installed a wonderful system for us. Having done business with them for 33 years now, we can’t say enough good things about them. We appreciate their honesty, integrity, knowledge, fair pricing, and attentiveness to any problems or concerns we had. We highly recommend L&R Security."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

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 And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns.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.

Yes, with better technology now available, it’s possible to add a smart lock on your sliding glass door. Smart locks can be easy for almost everyone in the family to operate and can connect to other safety features in the home, like smart lights. Plus, they’re harder for would-be criminals to pick. However, keep in mind that smart locks can potentially be hacked, and some completely rely on phones or Wi-Fi, which can be an issue if the power goes out.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

Begin by checking the power source, typically a battery or wired connection. Ensure the battery is installed correctly, has sufficient charge, and isn't corroded. If it's a wired lock, examine the electrical connections to confirm they are secure and free from damage. Additionally, inspect the lock's programming or settings. Confirm that user codes or access credentials are programmed correctly and that any remote control devices are paired and functional.
