"Antonio was helpful from the moment I reached out. Locked my key inside a bedroom, family tried to break the door knob off so I thought a locksmith was pointless. Antonio saved the day!! He was also kind enough to take the doorknob off entirely. Will definitely use him again.. 😉😉"

       I have several Trion 250 electronic air purifier consoles, which are now obsolete and for which few parts are available.  When the motor on one unit suddenly ceased working -- these units are made to run continuously, 24/7 -- I consulted Angie's List and put in a call to Quality Handyman Services.  Owner Steve Lee answered the phone and gave me hope that repair was at least a possibility.  He made time to come himself and assess the situation, at my early convenience.

       Steve arrived on time and first confirmed the problem.  He then disassembled the unit, examining each component with care.  He soon enough discovered that a plastic-like bushing in proximity to the motor had disintegrated, probably due to age and, continuing his investigation, pulled the motor where he discovered fragments of the bushing had lodged amongst the ball bearings.  Yipes!  Knowing the replacement parts difficulty, he then carefully removed the offending fragments, lubricated thoroughly, and neatly reassembled the console.  My electronic air cleaner immediately began working perfectly!

       I am thoroughly pleased, and the cost savings are especially appreciated.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

Security systems are one of the measures that deter burglars the most. Research suggests most burglars look for signs of a security system before going in, although the presence of a security system doesn’t automatically mean they won’t enter the home. However, a security system with cameras can decrease the chance of a burglary overall.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.
