Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

"I recently had my door refinished by The Door Refinishing Company, Inc., and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Don, who handled the refinishing, did an outstanding job. The door looks brand new, with beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail. He was professional, punctual, and took the time to make sure everything was perfect. The entire process, from start to finish, was smooth and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend The Door Refinishing Company, Inc. to anyone looking for top-quality refinishing services!"

"What incredibly poor service. We needed help with the lock on our front door, which completely broke and did not work at all. Cothron's came out, charged us $100, and said they would send us a quote for a new lockset. That was on October 2 - 14 days ago. We have called numerous times - no quote. This is our front door - we need it fixed. We were told someone would call us back, then someone was out sick, etc. No one ever called, no one ever provided a quote, after charging us $100 to come out to look at the lock. And that's just a quote - we still need the actual service performed. We have called numerous times. Unbelievably horrible service. We are contesting the $100 charge on our credit card. We are practically begging for a quote to spend money with them but they could not care less. Cothron's used to provide excellent service but clearly not anymore. Sad."

"USE THIS GUY - Michael was great. The dealer where I bought my bike scoffed at the thought a locksmith could help me. They tried to sell a new ignition and gas cap set (OEM order, 10 day shipping turnaround, installation scheduled through their shop) -- probably $500 and 30 days. Instead, Michael comes to the rescue and COMES TO MY HOUSE TWICE, rekeys everything, in less than 24 hours. Angieslist looks good, business looks good, I feel great."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

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.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

Commercial locksmith services range from $75 to $500, depending on the job's complexity, such as key duplication, lock installation, or access control system setup.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal).
