"He arrived on time and got right to work. He was putting in a door and a garage door opener for me. He got the opener installed quickly but had trouble with the programming of the remotes. That's a problem I have to solve with the manufacturer. Install the entry door fairly quickly and with a couple of adjustments it was working fine. Reliable and hard-working would hire again."

"First let me say that I called Herb on a Sunday, it was about 5 degrees outside (felt like 20 below) and it was Valentines day.  He told me he could get here in a couple of hours and we were fine with that because we turned off the main water source to the house so further damage would be prevented. Then I realized we have forced hot water heat and when I called to tell him he said "I'll run to Home Depot and be right there because you can't go without heat in this weather."
Once he got here he figured out the location of the pipe that burst. He had to cut through a small portion of the wall and replace the pipe. 
Herb is professional, fair, honest and very dependable. He didn't charge us for an "Emergency Call" which all of the big plumbing companies do. They charge $150 just to walk through the door. Herb's prices are fair and reasonable.
I would recommend Herb to anyone who needs work done in your home. He is a "Jack of all trades" and is well versed in many areas. I know if you hire him you won't be over charged, jerked around and there certainly won't be any "surprise" charges added to your bill. These are all things we have experienced with other contractors.

"Would highly recommend par holdings to anyone that needs electrical work done. They handled everything from the permit to calling the town inspector. Dennis sr and Dennis Jr were both wonderful to deal with. Had the work done on time, on budget, and no stress. I highly recommend their company for anything that you might need."

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.
