"Joe communicated via text and let me know when he would be coming, Then texted when he was on his way. He quickly solved my problem with the sliding doors and we engaged in a discussion about a couple future jobs. I believe he is the handyman we have been searching for!"

"Chris's contracting crew was one the best experiences I have had in a long while. Ethan and Grant were awesome. They were very informative and double double check their work to make sure I no longer had any leaks from my toilet into my kitchen ceiling. They cleaned their area and work great together as a team. The painter (sorry I could not remember your name) with the cool earring was also very professional and explained each steps. He took his time and made sure I was satisifed with the job. his swirl are better then the orginials. Thank you so much Chris Contracting. I will be reaching out again for some floor work :) and any maintenance I may need."

"I used Handyman Connections to replace exterior shutters, recaulk the bathtub and replace the shower door. Shawn was professional and did a great job on everything. I plan on using them again for some other projects that we need to have done around the house."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.

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.

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.

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.
