"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"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."

"**Rating: 5/5 Stars** Josh did a phenomenal job knocking out a long list of mounting and installation projects around my house. He was on time, extremely professional, and brought all his own tools. You can tell he has a background in project management and contracting because he really knows what he is doing. He didn't rush through anything; he took the time to meticulously measure and level every single item to make sure it was done right. On top of being highly skilled and efficient, he is just a genuinely nice person. If you want someone reliable who takes pride in their work, I highly recommend Josh. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future projects! I’ll come back and update with pictures but I’m extremely happy with the work 🎉🎉"

"I would have hire Elijah to complete my locksmith need. I call and he quickly contacted me. I explained that my son had lost his key fob in our house. My sons vehicle is push to start. He gave me a great price and I was ready to hire him. He suggested that we look around the house one more time in since my son had driven it home the night before and that is what we did. WE FOUND THE KEY FOB! Elijah possess high integrity with his customer's and gave excellent advise. He could have easily take our money and completed the job. If you are looking for a locksmith that treats his customer's with integrity and respect Carter's Locksmith is the one. If/ when I need a locksmith he will the one I contact"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300

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.

Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.
