"Ron did a great job. He was very friendly and professional. He worked with my busy schedule and got the work done quickly. The price was very fair, he even gave me an estimate over the phone, and didn’t change it or add any fees when the job was done. If I ever need a locksmith again, he’ll be the one I call."

"Umberto arrived on time and was very professional. I assumed that the door would need new rollers and probably a new track as there was so much damage. Umberto assessed the problem promptly and realized that the door was grossly out of alignment. I had even suggested that we would need new rollers and perhaps a new track but he said he didn't think so. After 45 minutes of painstaking work to level (plumb) the door, it works beautifully. Umberto could have easily up charged me for new parts but he did not do that. He fixed the problem without the extra cost. I was very impressed with his professionalism and expertise. I would definitely use Mr. Handyman of NW Austin again."

"Craftsman Dave Elliott did a great job with my quarter rounds / shoe molds for my hardwood floor replacement. I was replacing carpet after I bought the house, but the flooring people don't do shoe molds. He is very skilled and helped me with a bunch of other handyman tasks as well. It was easy to work with Suzanne to schedule the work."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

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.

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.

Several types of deadbolts are available, including single-cylinder, double-cylinder, rim, smart, and electronic deadbolt locks. The most common type found in U.S. homes is the single-cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior. A double-cylinder deadbolt features two locking mechanisms and requires a key to be operated from both the inside and the outside.

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.
