"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."

"Needed to quickly change the locks.Called at 830am on Saturday after trying several other locksmiths who did not answer. Got through in a couple of rings and a locksmith was out on site within 20min and was done within an hour after I called.  These days I almost expect bad service, but these guys were fantastic! HIghly recommend.

"After my son's car was stolen along with my house keys and garage remote, I contacted McCleary Lock & Access Control after-hours to have all of my locks re-keyed. Mr. McCleary gave OUTSTANDING service! He came immediately to do the work. He did NOT try to sell me new locks, but assured me the ones I had were great. I had been having difficulties with one lock, so he replaced that one. In addition, he reprogrammed my overhead garage door and all the remotes. He cleaned up after his work, was very kind and courteous. I was extremely pleased and surprised when he gave me his invoice--to the point that I questioned him if I didn't owe him more! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND McCleary Lock & Access Control!"

"Marshall Motors works on later-model German and Japanese cars. I've used them since 1995, and they have maintained an Infiniti G20, a BMW 323i and a BMW 528i. A few years ago they were featured in a Dallas Morning News article on businesses that are perfectionists. Their shop is cleaner than many houses. Their prices are a bit less than a dealer's, and they employ only technicians with college-level training. January Marshall is the business manager and is herself a trained mechanic. Her brother Thom runs the shop. In many cases they will pick up and deliver your car if you live in the area. The work is always done right the first time, and they don't do unnecessary work."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

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.

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key.
