"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"We had a wonderful experience with Handywork Group. If you’ve ever needed work done on your house, you know how important it is to find someone you trust. Jeff is extremely trustworthy, honest and communicative. He completed the job quickly, to our standards, and respected our property as if it was his own home. We look forward to working with him on future projects."

"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."

"We've lived in our house about 6 years and we've never had matching keys for all our door locks. Further, we never had a key at all for our storm door. We called on the Flying Locksmiths to re-key all our locks. They showed up on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and within half an hour, we had four re-keyed doors and one shiny new key to rule them all.

There was a hiccup re-keying the storm door because the lock was proprietary. The Flying Locksmiths asked to take the lock housing with them to see what they could do. In the worst-case scenario, they'd have to order a new part but they'd try to re-key the existing door. By the next business day, they'd managed to re-key the existing lock. They swung by and had it installed in less than 2 minutes!

I'd recommend The Flying Locksmiths to anyone. It used to be that there was only one game in town when it came to Chattanooga locksmiths so you had to take what you got. Not anymore!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.

Aside from the labor costs, several other factors can impact the cost of hiring a locksmith. If you can avoid services during off-hours, you can save on fees often charged for urgent requests. Consider additional factors such as:

  • Type of services required

  • Emergency call fees

  • Home and lock location

  • Number of locks to repair or install

  • Peak hours

  • Type of locks

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.

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.
