"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."

"Sherman - The Door Guru - replaced our back door - full frame and also installed a storm door. He came and gave an reasonable estimate and we arranged a work date. I went to Home depot and ordered the materials he listed. When they arrived, he picked them up and came to do the work. It turned out he had to be late and he called to tell me that. Not something a lot of trades people do. As he was doing this work we determined that we could use some work on the upper balcony door too. Sherman had to get a special part for that and so it couldn't be done the same day. I was going out of town for 3 weeks and he said to call him when I got back. I did, he got the part but was delayed in getting to my home to do the work. He was so apologetic and felt guilty about that so he reduced the price. Unheard of. Great service. He is a master at his craft and the most customer service trade person I have ever encountered. I would highly recommend him for both the workmanship and service areas."

"The Smith Thompson employee was very professional and kind. He did not engage in upselling, which we appreciate. He worked efficiently to get the DSC security system (installed by prior owner) up and running. The monthly service fee is very economical relative to other security companies. The system is now working fine. The technician advised us of the need to get an alarm permit from the City of Austin, which we appreciated. Cost was for transmitter ($89) plus a couple of months of service pre-paid."

Locksmiths FAQs, answered by experts

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

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

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.
