"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

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.

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.

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.
