"The gentleman who came out and made my key at 9:00 pm which was a lifesaver. I live in Bracey Virginia and I had been trying to find a locksmith to come out and make a key after 10 calls to locksmith everyone of them said we donâ t serve that area even though the companyâ s I did call were in South Hill which is about 15 minutes from me. Luckily for me I found this locksmith and he was very friendly called when he was on his way and called when he arrived. I will definitely keep their number in my contacts and pass it along to my friends. I am very satisfied and grateful to them for being so professional and getting the job done. So thank you to the gentleman who came out and did this for me!"

He rekeyed all my locks after moving into my new home which saved me a tons of money because I thought I was having to replace all the locks. Now I have key for every door. Would definitely recommend to anyone."

"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."

"We contracted with, Mr. Dan Kirby, Expertise Painting to seal the garage and workshop  floors in our new house in Charlottesville VA.   Never have I seen such dogged determination and perseverance to get a job done right.   We had a very tight window with the movers breathing down our necks. The job was further complicated when the builders workmen tracked red clay mud on the clean floors. Dan had promised to get the job done right and in time, so when the floors had to be pressure washed, Dan was there. He had to wash the floors twice, due to the tenacity of the red clay,  and he started at 6:30 to be sure of drying time.  The result was a flawless job on both floors.   We are proud to recommend Dan Kirby for the jobs that have t be done right.

"I had a bit of trouble with my molding around the doors vs how the system was designed. The tech guy hung with me for 39 minutes until it was perfect. I called customer service a couple times after that with questions that came up. The customer service team are professional and knowledgeable."

"I communicated with Rob Calbo for services of a background check with CSI Secure Solutions and he was fantastic.
He spoke with me in a very professional manner and put me at ease right away.
The process was seamless and my request was delivered very efficiently. Within just a few hours of providing them with information, I was able to get feedback. Rob took the time to speak with me and answered all of my questions. 
I will definitely be using them again in the future should the need arise, and I would definitely recommend them as being very efficient, professional and reliable.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.

If your key breaks in a lock, first remain calm and avoid forcing the broken piece further in. You may be able to remove it yourself if a portion of the key is still protruding from the lock. To aid removal, lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray. Then, try using tools like pliers, tweezers, a bobby pin, or even a jigsaw blade to gently grasp and pull the broken piece out. If these methods don't work, you can't reach the key, or you're concerned about damaging the lock, it's best to call a professional locksmith for assistance.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

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.

As with any computer, smart locks can be hacked by someone with the technical skills to do so, but most people do not have that ability, making smart locks relatively safe. If you have any concerns about a compromised smart lock, opt for an encrypted smart lock, change your Wi-Fi password, and make sure that you only give out your password to trusted family and friends.
