"Tracy did a fantastic job! He replaced old baseboards in my home and trimmed two doors. I’m so impressed that I have already asked him to come back to install interior doors and crown molding. He gave great advice and provides great results. Very professional and a really nice guy. My cat can’t wait for him to come back! Hire this professional for great work & a great price. I highly recommend him."

"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."

"Here is the deal. If you are looking for a professional who treats you like family...Keith Horton is the man! Within 5-minutes of meeting Keith I knew we were going to do business with his fine company. We talked about 3 different projects. 1st project was to take our 1972 Living Room down to studs and bring it into 2019. Wood paneling was removed, a bar area was removed, bookshelves removed, new walls were installed, doors were moved and he created more space for the master closet that used to be the bar area, plumbing work was accomplished, electrical work, can lighting installed, new ceiling installed, trimmed out everything, primed and painted to finish . From demo to finished product in 3-weeks! Every day the work area was cleaned up and he did everything possible to keep the dust spreading to other parts of the home. Outstanding job and could not ask for anything more. 1st project complete. Next he is going to build a screened in porch off of the living room. The 3rd project is to build my 24 x 30 detached garage. Keith...thank you for everything and know we will do business again real soon."

"I can’t say enough about this service. They clearly knew how to evaluate and fix the door. Unfortunately, it required more than I wanted To do, and they graciously took it out and disposed of the door. The price was fair, and the guys wonderful. I could not recommend them more."

"I made the appointment online and was contacted immediately with a quote and a start date. I was contacted 24 hours before the job was to start to confirm and to let me know that the materials would be dropped off ahead of time. Mr. Handyman did an amazing job! The service technician (Rick Edwards) was on time, professional and exceeded my expectations! The job was completed in less time than was quoted and the cost was more than reasonable. I highly recommend Mr. Handyman and will definitely be using them again."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

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.

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.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.
