"Wayne was wonderful. I called one afternoon & he was there the next day-scheduling the appointment at my convenience. He was there exactly as promised. He was very nice, extremely professional. As he was adding a deadbolt which involved drilling through the wood door, he made sure the area was covered to keep everying clean. Upon completion, he made very sure that the lock worked smoothly. Pricing was reasonable for the work performed & I will certainly recommend The Lock Guys to anyone needing a locksmith. Thank you Wayne!

"The locksmith was here at the front end of the window.  I bought my own locks so there was no need to make new keys.  The locksmith provided exceptional service -- will definitely use again if I have a need.

"I called Annandale Lock and Key Service to do lock-work at my rental property after my tenant?s key was stolen along with her wallet, which had items that ID?d her address.  It was imperative that the lock be re-keyed as soon as possible to prevent a possible burglary.
Chris found time to come the very day I called, and arrived on time.  He began work and soon discovered that the previous owner of my condo had damaged the lock.  Re-keying became a daunting process, requiring (I?m told by my tenant) approximately an hour and a half.    It was clear Chris fully understood how important it was to have the lock working with new keys before he left that evening.   Ultimately, his doggedness paid off, and he was successful.   Sorry ? can?t explain the issues involved, beyond a broken pin, but perhaps the age of the building and lock was a factor (40 yrs. old?).   At any rate, I felt very fortunate to get the job done with a charge for only a service call and a cylinder replacement.   Chris supplied new keys at no charge, and gave me my 10 % senior discount, which I much appreciated.  
I would definitely use Chris?s services again and will happily recommend him to others.

"Excellent locksmith company! The response time was really fast! We set up a time to come out to change the exterior door locks on my new home. He did a fantastic job! The work was very clean and neat. He was thorough and explained everything. He was in and out within a reasonable time and was very respectful. Everything works great! I'd recommend this company to anyone looking for locksmith services in the area."

"I found Emmanuel to be very efficient, took less than 10 minutes. He was polite, courteous and I will call him to come back and re-key another door in about a month. The company was very responsive, and I was able to get the work scheduled and completed in less than a couple hours."

"GREAT PLACE!  Two years ago, a neighbor recommended Baldino's when I wanted to change the locks on my home.  Their Clarendon branch performed that service (promptly and with great customer service!).  
This time, I needed to unlock a pricey suitcase that I inadvertently locked while I was changing the lock's combination.  I called the manufacturer first.  They suggested that perhaps a locksmith could do it, sparing me the $75 it would cost me to ship it to them for repair.  So, I called Baldino's main line, explained the problem, and they recommeneded Chris at the Landmark location.  They said he was one of their most experienced locksmiths, and they were sure he could handle this. And he did!  Took him only a few minutes. Both Chris and the colleague he was working with at the shop (part time, retired Pentagon guy) were very polite, friendly, answered my questions and didn't make me feel silly for accidently locking the suitcase!  I'd go back anytime.  I'll be sure to use them for any future needs.

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.

Rekeying should be done when employees leave or keys are lost, while replacement may be necessary for outdated or damaged locks.

Smart locks offer a similar level of safety to traditional or conventional locks because they often use comparable locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts. The primary difference is the access method: smart locks use a login or code instead of a physical key, which adds convenience. While not inherently safer, some smart locks have added security features that can deter intruders, like shutting down after too many incorrect code attempts or being harder to pick. For the best security, it's recommended to combine any lock with other home safety features like motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and window and door sensors.

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.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.
