"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.

"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

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.

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

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.
