"I could not be happier with my experience this past Saturday with Raanan the Locksmith (and his wife Hanna). My husband and I had just arrived at our hotel, and somehow managed to lock our car keys inside the car while unloading it in the hotel garage. We were preparing for a long evening searching for a locksmith that could commit to helping us the same day. I received several texts and phone calls in reference to our need to hire a locksmith but chose to hire Raanan after my initial conversation with his wife. She seemed genuinely interested in helping us with our dilemma. My phone calls and texts re-confirming that they were actually coming to unlock the car, were answered promptly and we were kept informed about their arrival time. Raanan and his wife were professional and very pleasant to work with. Our car was unlocked quickly, and we still had time to keep our dinner reservation. We highly recommend Raanan the Locksmith for anyone needing help unlocking their car!"

"Nice kid. Not sure that he’s a true locksmith but he is learning!! He left all of his mess from drilling holes in my door. That’s why I called him a nice kid. The work seems to be fine but he showed up in a random unmarked car, didn’t appear neat or professional. I think he will figure it out. He has the skills."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Work and Professionalism!** I recently hired Juan to replace my front door, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Juan was punctual, professional, and meticulous in his work. The door looks fantastic, fits perfectly, and has made a huge difference in both the appearance and security of my home. He took the time to ensure everything was installed correctly and even cleaned up after the job was done. His attention to detail and dedication to quality were evident throughout the project. I highly recommend Juan for any home improvement needs. If you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and friendly, he's the one to call!"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.

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.
