"Zee was great to work with for our service call. He arrived quickly and replaced the key cylinder mechanism on a very old rusted entry lock. He resolved the problem within 30 minutes. I’m extremely happy with his service and his price was very reasonable. I would definitely call him again for locksmith services."

"I called several other lock smiths before I found Baldino's. All of them turned out to use the same sub contractor, who I waited for for hours and finally just told not to come. I found Baldino's at 9:30pm that night, and they only use their own technicians on jobs, which immediately made me feel like I was in good hands. Beyond that, when I placed the first call, the representative was calm and detailed (unlike the other locksmiths who seemed to barely have time to write down my phone number). They gave me an ETA that was long but honest, which I appreciated, so I know I could go home and wait, and because it was late in the evening, there were some extra charges.
When the technician arrived, Craig was competent and quick with his work to recover my keys. I would recommend them 100%.

"Recently moved into a large new home in Rosement neighborhood in Alexandria. The property had a huge number of exterior and interior doors, all with different locks.  Previous owner's had a dozen different keys for different locks.  Our goal was to change all the locks to new keys for security and have all  exterior locks on one key.
 
Given the sheer size of the place, and the high number of doors, we knew it would be a big job. Baldinos was recommended by our Real  Estate agent as a quality locksmith with a good reputation in Old Town area.  Called on a Thursday and got a time window the next day - 10am to 2 pm.
Brad called about 11:30 and said he'd be at our house at noon, which he was. 
Brad was polite and professional.  He listen to our directions, surveyed the house and got work.   He encountered some tricky situations (there is a separate apartment with the property), he called us over and explained the situation and made recommendations (separate key for the apartment locks) which we followed.
Brad was at our house for nearly 3 and 1/2 hours, working quietly  and efficiently.  At completion, we had new lock sets, one key for all exterior doors and separate keys for the apartment.

"Top-notch service. It was cold night, so the situation was something of an emergency. I consulted Angie's List and called Tivoli Locksmith. The locksmith came immediately and handled the situation with real professionalism. I don't know what my neighbor was charged, so I can't comment about the price, but I was very, very impressed with the service. I hope I don't run into a similar situation, but if I ever do, I'd trust Tivoli."

"After getting locked out of the house one evening, we called ER Locksmith because they were local and had good reviews here.  We were not disappointed.  Although it was outside of normal business hours, our call was answered, our information was taken and we were told we would be contacted by a technician shortly.  About 2 minutes later, the technician called us and said he could be there in 10 minutes!!  He was right on time, and he had the door open in less than 10 minutes."

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.

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.
