"I bought new remote for my 1999 Camry and needed someone to program it. Victor locksmith helped me fast. He knew what to do, programmed remote with no problem. Price was fair. Good service, I recommend."

"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 would like to recognize employee Doug A at SafeStreet/ADT. We’ve had an old security system sitting in our house for over 15 years without service or functionality. He took the time to explain the differences between how the old systems work and how the new systems work. He was patient with us, and we are happy customers."

"Tom is wonderful - knowledgeable, reliable, and very professional. He fixed my very old and sad-looking door, and when I wanted to enlist his help for more projects, he pointed out what needed to be repaired and what did not, rather than trying to persuade me into booking more work with him. definitely a trustworthy man and would 10/10 recommend!"

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.

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

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 easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.

It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.
