"I had pipes leaking all over my basement from my shower. I didn’t know who to call so I remembered Angie. I found Mac the plumber on there and he’s the first one that called me back. He came within a day to look at everything and was able to fix it within a short amount of time Mac is very knowledgeable and friendly and he is very reliable. His prices are very affordable. He also does more than plumbing take a look at his ad he can do most anything I will call him again for sure when I need his services Definite five star"

"Dan is great. Competent, reliable, tidy, personable, prompt. I trust him enough to leave him the house key. He’s cleans up so well I’d never know he’d been there, except the work has been done."

"I found Bogdan Sokolowski to be very professional from beginning to end.  He called back promptly, came to the house quickly to see the job to give me an estimate, answered phone messages quickly when I had questions, and came and did a nice job.  When I asked for follow up work, he came promptly.  I will definitely call him again.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

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.
