Landmark Home Warranty is a publicly held company committed to offering the highest level of service for all of your home warranty needs.

"Landmark Uses Disreputable Contractors ? AZA Repair & Brenovations HVAC Are the Worst Landmark sent AZA Repair for my refrigerator, and they left it worse than before?still not working, scorch marks from a blowtorch, copper lines sticking out, tools and oil left behind, and no receipt. Then Landmark sent Brenovations HVAC for an AC motor replacement, and that turned into exposed wires, bolts hitting fan blades, missing parts, and complete disregard for safety near my kids? play area. Both companies were unprofessional, negligent, and refused accountability. Landmark?s use of these contractors makes me seriously question the value of having a home warranty at all."

Once you've tried us, you'll keep calling us back on new projects.

"The crew did a great job stripping a vaulted popcorn ceiling, installing wood tile, painting and replacing trim in our living room. They were punctual, clean and quick, but thorough. The attention to detail was impressive. We brought them back for exterior work, replacing rotten wood all over our 2 story house and patio. He helped us prioritize and worked with our budget, letting us know what needed to done and what might wait for the next round. We thought the price was a little high, but once we received 2 other estimates, his price was in the ballpark, and we were very happy with the quality of the work and thoughtfulness of the crew. Some of the other handymen were quick to offer shortcuts that would look okay, but not be sound--a problem for the next homeowner, one said. We wanted it done correctly, and Ray and his crew offered helpful advice as well as quality workmanship. We will be calling Ray when we're ready for the next round of repairs and remodeling."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

A deadbolt lock is typically considered more secure than a regular lock based on its internal construction. Each deadbolt type has varying levels of security, ranging from withstanding a small amount of force to those that can take on multiple strikes and greater force. Regular locks provide little to no security and are typically used more for easy entry and simple installation.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.
