"Overall the locksmith that came out was friendly and very polite. He even stayed to make sure that the electronic lock functioned correctly. As such I have given him full marks for his customer service. The issue that I encountered was over the pricing that I was originally quoted vs. what was asked for at completion. The work I had completed was a lockset size change with an install of a single lock. The job took one hour to complete. Over the phone, I was quoted $90 install ($29 visit, 81 install), and canceled a scheduled appointment I previously had due to this better price and availability. After the install, the Tech asked for $204. This was not discussed until my card had already been charged without being told the amount. After refusing to sign for the amount, he worked with his management to refund the amount to what Home Advisor charges for the same service, $120. My recommendation to potential customers in the future, make sure you ask your locksmith once they arrive to confirm the price that you have been offered in advance of the work being completed."

"I first met Jack when he came to my home on a Sunday (same day service) to check out some duct work that had come loose. He took the time to do the repair same day. I was so impressed that I asked him back to complete a long honey-do list. He sent Josh to help me out and his work was impeccable. Everything was completed in just a couple of days. Both Jack and Josh are courteous, kind, clean and are excellent tradesmen. I had an issue with a product they installed for me and they were back within 24 hrs to fix it. I could not be happier with their work and their professionalism. I give them 5 stars all around!"

"I called Alarm Protection Group AFTER my office was burglarized. Now I feel SAFE. William is great to work with. He's neat and tidy, prompt, presentable - not a butt-crack type of guy, and he doesn't leave a mess in his wake. He's also knowledgeable about the equipment and only uses high-quality products."

"He did a fantastic job on my grandma's 2014 Cadillac. She lost her key, so we had to have a new one programmed and a physical key made. He even gave us a few spare physical keys for free. He was courteous, friendly, and very professional. I would definitely 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."

"Serge was professional and amiable. We had interior & exterior handy man jobs done. He treated our multiple small jobs with such care... as if they were just as important as expensive renovations. We are senior citizens and thrilled we found such a knowledgeable and trustworthy person. He's our "go to" guy now! We WILL refer him to friends and family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The Douglass'"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

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.

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.

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.
