"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."

Small jobs welcome

I am a dedicated worker that will show up when I say I will. I will work on any project as if it were my own home. If it is an install, it will be done correctly the first time. If it is a repair, it will be repaired correctly. I do not believe in taking shortcuts on my personal projects, and I will not take shortcuts on any project. I will handle the task quickly, correctly and efficiently every time. I want to make anyone I come in contact with happy and feel and let their mind rest at ease that the job will be done efficiently.

I'm a network Field tech for a major company in the Knoxville area. My availability is a little irregular, but I accommodate my customers as much as possible. I use this business to support my family and try to provide the best life for them. I have a degree in electrical engineering, a degree in computer programming, and my A+ certification. I have almost fifteen years of professional computer repair and networking experience. I worked for geek squad for over five years doing appliance repair. I also grew up fairly poor, so I can fix almost anything. I'm not going to rip you off, because I know what that feels like. Give me shot and your won't be disappointed.

"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

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

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.

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 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.
