"The serviceman called ahead of his arrival, allowing me to prepare for him. When I explained what was required, he explained his solutions, answering all my questions. He completed all the tasks I asked for in a reasonable time frame. I was surprised when he told me that because of the make of lock in the doorknob, simply making a replacement key was not possible--I would need the lock replaced. I relied on his judgement in this matter, telling him to proceed. He had a replacement in his tool box, removed the previous unit and inserted the new lock in an efficient manner. While the price he quoted was higher than I expected, it was not unreasonable. He was professional, skilled and courteous. I would recommend him to other customers."

"This was an intricate work area, behind Dominion power meters that required advanced planning, coordination and a timeline of one day.  Gary came out during the quotation process and was knowledgeable, understanding, and very prompt with his estimate.  His great reviews here on Angie's list are very warranted, I felt very comfortable awarding him the job and am very glad I did.  He and his crew (Ervin and Franz) were great, very nice and very professional, a real pleasure to work with.   After watching too many episodes of Holmes on Holmes I can be a bit of an overkiller when it comes to making something right and they were on the same page, and very patient with me.  If you want it done right Gary is your guy.  Always get multiple quotes for a job but make sure Gary and Reo-Servicepro are at the top of your call list.
Thanks Gary, Ervin, and Franz!

"Sam is very friendly and understanding, ensuring that every step in the process was done correctly, and even did things that he didn't have to do, but he did anyway. He really went the extra mile for me. He's been doing this for a while, so if you're looking for experience, this is your guy. Great technician, highly recommended."

"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

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.

Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don’t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.

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

Yes, with better technology now available, it’s possible to add a smart lock on your sliding glass door. Smart locks can be easy for almost everyone in the family to operate and can connect to other safety features in the home, like smart lights. Plus, they’re harder for would-be criminals to pick. However, keep in mind that smart locks can potentially be hacked, and some completely rely on phones or Wi-Fi, which can be an issue if the power goes out.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey.
