"My locksmith was extremely efficient, friendly and flexible with his time. I fully expected to have to wait for 24 hours but he was able to help me the same day, just a few hours after my request. It took all of 5 minutes for him to complete the service. I really couldn't ask for more. I can't rave enough about the service. I will call him every time I need a locksmith for anything. I highly recommend this locksmith."

"I was hoping to get a few things but the entire time was spent replacing the front door. They had to install a new frame as well so it is understandable why it took 5 total hours to get it installed,I wanted to make sure the job was done right instead of trying to save time. I have to replace the interior trim back on myself because I did not want to spend anymore money. The guy that came out was very nice and he did great work but the prices came out a bit higher than I would have liked. I was also overcharged a bit due to the math being done incorrectly but I contacted them and they said they would send me a check for the difference.

"I’ve had Mr. Handyman (technician Danny) out multiple times for a big remodeling project over the past couple of months. I have them coming out 2 more times this month. The communication is amazing and the work is great (and at a very fair price). I’m always impressed and that’s why I keep coming back to them. Highly recommend!"

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.

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

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.

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.
