"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

No towing, no waiting for the dealership. Highly recommend their service if you ever lose your car keys!"

"Have utilized Adam's services for over a decade now. Don't remember the first job but he has done bathroom remodels, tile work, drywall in a unique space and the most recent job involved repair and staining of a wood fence. My wife and I kind of look forward to projects because it means that we get Adam's expertise on smaller things around the house that we just can't figure it out. Bottom-line, in addition to getting our 20 year old wood fence back into good condition, we got things like a door to our shed that has not been right for a few years fixed and let me tell you it is nice to not have to slam that thing shut anymore. I think Adam is great for remodels that are reasonably priced, he keeps you informed and is just an all-around great handyman. Will definitely use him again in the future and appreciate his past service."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300

First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.

Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.
