"We needed a couple of locks rekeyed. We were able to make an appointment for the next week and the locksmith arrived at the time scheduled. He worked steadily and had the work done in no time. There was a problem with the credit card reader so we provided a check for the service. But the credit card went through anyway. Locksmith mailed back our check and a receipt so very good follow-up. I would hire again."

Cost is determined by job. Free site surveys.

"Job completed in less than a minute. Very impressed with immediate scheduling and prompt service. The technician was able to easily pull the key out, but couldn't provide a replacement key that worked. No problem with service, but felt the $75 trip charge was extraordinarily high for 5 minutes of work."

The original. Madisons oldest and most trusted Locksmiths since 1947.

"Pros - The scheduling went smoothly (though there was a bit of a miscommunication in the cons section). Re-Keying the house proceeded in under two hours. Max arrived in a mask and was respectful for distancing. When the job was done, they took payment over the phone (since I had to run to work). Reasonable price for professional work. Called me to clarify where to leave the keys instead of making any assumptions. Cons The only thing that knocked them down from being a full A was in scheduling. The person I spoke with mentioned that they would "be there between 9 and 10 am". The problem there is the ambiguity in the statement. Being there can mean arriving, as well as the entirety of the period in which a person would need to be at the house. When I was called to clear up the final location of the keys, I provided the same feedback, which they received very well, and mentioned would be passed on to the team."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have your original key, the easiest way to obtain a copy is to call a locksmith. For house keys, your locksmith has several options for configuring a new key: 

  • They can input a lock’s identification code into a database to obtain key-cutting instructions.

  • They could analyze the lock cylinder to determine how to cut a new key.

  • They can create an impression of the lock cylinder from which to cut a new key. 

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.

Smart locks offer around the same level of safety as conventional locks with keys. The best way to secure your door locks is to combine routine locking mechanisms with other home safety features, like lighting, motion sensors, security cameras, and window and door sensors. 

Smart locks have the upper hand when it comes to convenience—you won't have to worry about your key not turning in the lock or fumbling around in your bag for your keys—but beyond that, any door with deadbolts will offer a similar degree of security.

Rekeying your own locks is a low-cost task that prevents you from having to replace the locks themselves completely. The first couple of times you rekey a lock may be challenging because this is an intermediate DIY task. You can purchase a rekey kit from most hardware stores, but make sure you’re buying the kit from the brand of lock in your home that you’re going to rekey. 

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.
