"Whether it’s for your home or your business (I use them for both) one of the contractors you had better have complete trust in is your locksmith. We have been using Surefit Security for over thirty years and couldn't be happier with our experiences. They are extremely knowledgeable and have offered viable and prompt solutions addressing all of our locksmith needs. From replacing hardware and doors to developing and implementing new master key systems in high rise office buildings they have never let us down. The employees who come on site to perform work are professional and courteous and the office staff and owners are always available for consultation when needed. To say that I highly recommend them is an understatement. I really can’t see us ever using anyone else."

"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."

"We have been using Mike & Home Remedies as our contractor/handyman for close to ten years. Time and again Mike has been the consummate professional and his works shows. The quality is tremendous and Mike (quite rightly) takes pride in his craft. We have had Mike do several large projects in our home and he just completed redoing our basement bathroom as we are having an elderly family member move in. We will continue to call on him for all and every future work. We cannot recommend him strongly enough."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

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.

Rekeying a lock changes the internal mechanism so that a new key works, while replacing a lock involves swapping out the entire hardware. Rekeying is a good, cost-effective option when you want to ensure old keys no longer work, such as after moving into a new home or losing a key. It's also ideal if you want to keep your existing lock hardware. You should opt to replace the locks entirely if you want to upgrade to a more secure or different style of lock, if the current lock is old or damaged, after a break-in, or if too many copies of the old key exist.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

Keyless locks are great for convenience, letting you unlock doors with a code or your phone so you don't need to carry keys around. They also often come with helpful features like temporary codes for guests. On the downside, they can be more costly up front and do require batteries that will eventually need replacing. If you value ease of use and additional security features, keyless locks are worth the investment.

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.
