McKinney Glass was founded in Yakima in 1958 by Guy McKinney, grandfather of present owner, Mike McKinney. From the very beginning, the McKinney family has been committed to hands-on, personal service to their customers. They have also been strong supporters of their friends and neighbors throughout Yakima as members of community service organizations, and by serving on a variety of community boards. In 1975, Rus McKinney succeeded his father Guy as owner of the company. Rus continued the family tradition of customer service as the number one priority, as well as ongoing community service. Mike McKinney began his work in the family glass business in 1993, following his graduation from the University of Washington. When father Rus retired in 2002, Mike became the third McKinney to own the glass company. Mike continues to serve the community as an active member of many community organizations including Yakima Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, United Way, YMCA, Central Washington Home Builders and the Better Business Bureau. Mike is a certified Continuing Education instructor for insurance agents, having awarded CE credits to over one hundred insurance professionals in Yakima. The courses cover such topics as proper glass installation and its effect on safety, the collision repair process, vehicle inspection, claims management, and business ethics. Mike believes the strongest family tradition is that of personal involvement with the day-to-day business. He continues to strive to lead his team to do the very best job for each and every customer.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

A deadbolt has a different design, construction, and security level than a regular lock. Regular locks are mostly used for interior doors around the home, like bedrooms and bathrooms, and they usually include a locking mechanism on the inside. While regular locks are easy to use and install, they provide little security. 

A deadbolt adds a layer of security and is most commonly used on exterior doors. The installation is typically more complicated, but they hold up to wear and tear.

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.

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.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside.
