"I bought 2 key fobs intending to program them myself, only to find I couldn't. Then I find most locksmiths are mobile and charge a mobile fee just to come to me: another unexpected expense. Roland of Alamo Keys was wonderful - he offered to meet me (which negated the mobile fee of coming to me) and he gave me a Military DC. Thank you, Roland! In addition, he was professional, pleasant and efficient. He helped to reduce an unexpected expensive and stressful event into a near pleasurable experience. I'm definitely calling Roland again if I am in need."

"Bob is a fantastic handyman. He was direct, on time, courteous and i would hire him again. We hired him to repair a hole in our cieling drywall. He knew exactly what needed to be done, and delivered. We have young children and having Bob around was no concern for us. He is a honorable and upstanding man. His price was reasonable. He was overall, just right."

"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."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

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.

It depends on what type of keyless entry it is and if the locksmith has the proper tools to remove a keypad entry lock since some are more advanced than others. However, locksmiths can typically work around keyless entries to vehicles, so it depends on what type of keyless entry system needs opening.

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.

Several types of deadbolts are available, including single-cylinder, double-cylinder, rim, smart, and electronic deadbolt locks. The most common type found in U.S. homes is the single-cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior. A double-cylinder deadbolt features two locking mechanisms and requires a key to be operated from both the inside and the outside.
