"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’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

Whether or not keyless door locks are safe and trustworthy depends on the visibility of the programming code—and a trespasser’s determination. Even if you carefully guard entry and programming codes, those trying to break in may be able to crack open the lock’s faceplate with a screwdriver and change the codes. The same goes for manual models.

Some find smart locks the safest option because it’s harder to manipulate codes without access to your phone. But it’s possible to get hacked even then. Consider installing an extended security system, like door and window alarms or surveillance cameras, to enhance security. 

Security systems are one of the measures that deter burglars the most. Research suggests most burglars look for signs of a security system before going in, although the presence of a security system doesn’t automatically mean they won’t enter the home. However, a security system with cameras can decrease the chance of a burglary overall.

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.

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.
