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

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.
