"We were so pleased with the service we received from Ray of A and D Lock and Key. We put out a call and he returned it immediately and came to our house the same day. He was so thorough and professional and fixed our problem and checked all of our locks on our doors. It is wonderful to know that we have a locksmith that we trust and feel comfortable calling when we need him. ~Leslie Mxxxxxx and John Dxxxxxxx"

"The manager of the grocery store recommended her to call John and his company.  Boy was she glad she did!
John told her  he would be there in about 25 minutes. He was there in 22 minutes and in about 30 seconds he had her car unlocked. No damage to window, the rubber seal, or the lock. He was a lifesaver for her and the groceries!
She said he was very calm and professional. He was also extremely reasonable!  He only charged her $50 when he could have charged way more for someone in that kind of situation. She was very impressed and I am too. We highly recommend him.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey. 

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.
