"Omar from Pilgrim was absolutely wonderful! He arrived on time, did the work, and it was fantastic. Friendly and professional in all things. He was very knowledgeable about our issue and provided extremely helpful advice on another. If I ever have another issue with a lock, I'll promptly call Pilgrim again!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

Yes, you should change the locks as soon as you can after completing the purchase of a house. This is a matter of privacy and security, as you have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owner made. You can change the locks yourself or hire a pro to replace or rekey the lock, which costs $50 to $100.
