"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 several contractors from the list. Sherman returned my call within 15 minutes, explaining that he had been with a customer when I called and his policy is not to answer his cell phone when with clients. I wish everyone had the same rule! He laid out exactly what he would do and emphasized that the satisfaction of his customers was paramount to him. He really acted like he wanted my business, a surprisingly rare trait these days. He arranged to meet my wife the following day for a measurement and free estimate. He came and measured and quoted $200. He would not take any payment until the work was completed to our total satisfaction. He made a list of all the materials needed, including trim, mortar, lock hardware, caulk and sealant. He said we could just go to a home improvement store and give them the list (and our credit card, of course) and he would pick everything up. He told us that if we could not find a suitable door he could build one for us if necessary. He was really focused on solving our problem. We had to delay installation a week due to our schedule, but he could have done the work much sooner had we been able. On the arranged installation day Sherman arrived right on time, having picked up everything as he said he would. He went right to work and finished in a couple of hours. He even installed a second pet door for a paltry $25. The work appears to be flawless, and Sherman warranties it for 12 months."

"Because it was sunday, and probably because it was during a football game, I had a heck of a time finding a locksmith. Most locksmiths were either unavailable or would take 2-3 hours before getting to me. Key Kong was available. They arrived before they estimated. The guy was incredibly professional and super fast."

"Vendor contacted us very quickly and requested some basic information like door dimensions and photo. A quote was given online. Once we decided to proceed, vendor's employee arrived at designed time to remove door and replace with a temporary. We were told the work would take 1 week, and it did. We got a call on the morning of the day door was to be returned, and the employee arrived at the appointed time. The quality of the work was excellent. We have already recommended the vendor to friends."

"Choice responded quickly but the insurance plan does not pay for all doors to be re-keyed unless you have very few locks. The number of locks covered by the insurance is determined by keyholes, not doors! (Read your policy!) You will likely have to shell out some money to have this essential new-home service if you have more than four keyholes. The locksmith they called was EXCELLENT and made all our locks completely functional. We will happily hire the locksmith again (R.L Locksmith LLC). We paid $201.81 (plus another $50 for some door re-alignment not included in the re-keying benefit) and Choice paid $100 for the job."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Smart deadbolts are a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking more convenience, flexibility, and advanced features than a traditional deadbolt can provide. While a strong conventional deadbolt offers sufficient security for most, smart deadbolts provide significant upgrades.

Key benefits include keyless entry via smartphone, keypads, or biometric sensors, and the ability to lock or unlock your door remotely. You can also manage access for guests by creating temporary codes, eliminating the need for physical keys and the risk of them being lost or duplicated. Many models integrate with smart home systems and offer features like automatic locking, entry-exit monitoring, and tamper alerts with encryption for enhanced security.

However, there are downsides to consider. Smart deadbolts are more expensive than their traditional counterparts and rely on batteries and wireless networks to function. This dependency introduces potential vulnerabilities, such as hacking by skilled intruders and privacy concerns. Installation can also be more complex. Despite these drawbacks, the added layer of convenience and protection makes them a compelling option for many.

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.

You might want to change a door lock entry code for a handful of reasons. The most common answers are extra security or a forgotten code. You may also find yourself in a position where you need to temporarily change the code to allow a guest to come and go freely but want to switch it back once things return to normal.

Over time, latch components may wear out or get grimy, leading to this problem. First, check for dirt, dust, or debris in the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Use an aerosol duster and lubricant to clean and loosen. You may also need to tighten the screws in the component, adjust the strike plate, or replace the lock. If none of these steps resolve the problem, consult a professional locksmith.

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.
