"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."

"I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Davis. I have hired him for several projects. He has repaired French doors and my backyard fence, installed a door threshold, and installed a system in the garage where the car would not hit a pole in the garage. He also repaired an antique chair and installed rails for stairs. Mr. Davis does very good work; he is punctual, very neat, cordial, easy to work with, and offers fair prices. I have recommended Mr. Davis to several of my friends. You cannot go wrong by hiring Mr. Davis."

"Highly recommend! He was punctual, professional, and paid attention to detail. The work was done efficiently and everything turned out exactly how I wanted. Pricing was fair and transparent, and he made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving. It’s hard to find reliable handyman services, but this one exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be using him again for future projects!"

"Nicolle has done painting, shelf installation, picture hanging, and all those little projects around the house for me. Every job has been done with so much care and attention to detail, and everything always looks perfect when she’s finished. My husband is handy, but sometimes I need someone who is extra precise and detail-oriented — especially for things like hanging shelves and artwork evenly or getting clean paint lines. She absolutely delivers every time. Professional, reliable, and meticulous. Highly recommend!"

"I was trying to get my house ready to sell. I previously hired a handyman and a painter, both based on word of mouth from my realtor and a neighbor. Both were terrible and messed up my house entirely!! They were horrible and cost me tons of money. I was on a short timeline to get everything fixed and ready. I called Troy Woodward and he squeezed me in before another job he had scheduled. Troy and his partner were THE BEST. In 2 days, they replaced a front door, painted it, installed brass hardware, fixed drywall mistakes, re-painted bad paint jobs, did exterior trim, and fixed a support beam. They were efficient and knew what they were doing. They did a GREAT job and I am a perfectionist. I would ALWAYS go back to Troy-Bilt Construction. Worth. Every. Penny."

"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

Standard residential deadbolt locks come with a steel bolt that locks your door into place using a key (or keypad) on one side and a thumb turn on the other. When you lock it, the bolt slides into a strike plate on your door jamb to secure your door shut.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

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. 

Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacing locks. Professional rekeying costs between $40 and $160, sometimes with an additional fee of $15 to $40 per lock. A locksmith's hourly rate averages around $75. If you do it yourself, a rekeying kit can cost as little as $10. In contrast, replacing a lock costs between $130 and $500, with an average of around $315, depending on the hardware and lock type. Rekeying is a simpler process that changes the key for your existing lock without replacing the hardware. It is a good option if you have a quality lock that works well, you've recently moved, you've lost a key, or you need a quick security upgrade. The best choice depends on the condition of your current locks.

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.
