"Ron Cruz was the technician that came out. I was quoted a much higher price at frist over the phone and wasn't going to use them at 1st. But then they called me back and told me they would charge 1/2. Ron was very professional and friendly. He was also efficient and sympathetic to my situation. I would recommend that you request the tech if given the choice. He even charged my $10 less than the 2nd quote of $60.00 so I wouldn't have to borrow it from my neighbor. I wish many blessings to this remarkable person."

My name is David Mitchell and I am a Certified Master Locksmith with over 20 years experience. My wife, Georgianne, handles the accounting for our business. I’ve enjoyed helping people for the past two decades both in the Navy and now as a civilian. I look at every call we receive as an opportunity to serve someone. So please feel free to call me with any safety or security question that you may have .

"Mitch is an awesome person and knows his craft well. Our first contact was for a winch boat key my husband had lost. Upon arriving Mitch showed my husband that he had left the winch unlocked! Mitch didn’t charge us even for the call. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and we needed Mitch’s service again to help with a dead bolt on our front door. He came out that day, and had to replace the lock. Again just an awesome person all around!"

"I had the worst experience ever dealing with this business. I ordered a key fob for my vehicle and they promised to get it in 3-4 days and call me back. The store charged me for the whole amount of the key with cutting and programing the fob in advance. I called after a week, when I didn't hear back from them, to learn that the person who do this type of keys is sick. I went to the store, a few days later, to find that the person who do the key is back, but unfortunately, the key didn't arrive. They become very rude when I asked for a refund and refused to issue a refund till the return is approved by the manager. I called back the same day to talk to the manager with no luck. I just spoke to the same person who kept running me around and informed me that he just received the key and I can come after the weekend for installation. That was a lie because it was a holiday with no delivery of any kind. I am sure that they had received the key earlier but they got overwhelmed and couldn't handle their business. It was a long 2 weeks of aggravation and frustration for buying simple key which I could have got it at Low's in 15 minutes with half the price. I will never go back or recommend their service to anyone I know."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

The benefit of deadbolt locks is that they're much harder to force open than simple locks with pin tumbler mechanisms, so they may offer added security. This feature is why many locksmiths recommend deadbolts for home security. For many households, this added protection and peace of mind is well worth the cost of installing a deadbolt.

It depends on what type of keyless entry it is and if the locksmith has the proper tools to remove a keypad entry lock since some are more advanced than others. However, locksmiths can typically work around keyless entries to vehicles, so it depends on what type of keyless entry system needs opening.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.

Rekeying a lock is less expensive than replacing the whole unit. The cost to rekey is about $50 to $100 when you hire a pro or as little as $10 if you DIY. The cost to change a lock is $130 to $500, depending on the hardware you select.
