"The locksmith had to rework the new deadbolt I bought to make it fit the door and rekeyed the existing lower knob lock to make one key work on both locks. It was a longer job but the work was exceptional and amazingly cheap!"

"I contacted Colonial on 10/10/13 and the next morning Steve called and came right away in the heavy downpours. Steve provided Superior service and identified our needs immediately to secure our front door especially with having two small kids.
Steve is great example of professional and courtesy service and represents Colonial Locksmith very well. Colonial Locksmith should be very proud having someone like Steve represent their company in the community.
I would highly recommend anyone in the area that needs a locksmith that will do the job fast and right the first time with a backed guarantee, you can't go wrong.
Many thanks

"Front Door locks broken on my home. Had to take off work, no way to secure my home. Home Advisor put me touch with Colonial Lock Service, Inc. the gentleman on the phone tried to help trouble shoot the problem when that failed a locksmith was dispatched. The locksmith called and said I will be there in an hour. This young man showed up on time and said don't worry I hear to make it better. He had such great friendly personality and did a great job. He replaced both of my locks and said "Sir your new locks turn like butter now". Well that made my laugh but he was so right, my locks never worked so good. It appears when the door was replace 15 years ago the locks never really lined up right. The replacement locks were are not your local hardware style, much better quality. I was quoted a price which having never used a locksmith before I thought was high, however the quick response, great service, better then average hardware and most of all the locksmith had a great friendly attitude. The price was right. This young man shook my hand and thanked me. Right when I thought there was no more good customer service in this world, WOW!"
Start by searching a trusted directory for locksmiths in your area and reading recent customer reviews. Confirm that each candidate holds state-required licenses, maintains active insurance, and is a member of professional groups such as ALOA. Before you schedule, ask for a written estimate, proof of credentials, and references. Finally, verify the company’s physical address (not just a P.O. box) and check that the technician arrives in a marked vehicle and uniform.
Door locks must be replaced immediately when key security is compromised. Replace your locks when moving into a new home, after any burglary or attempted break-in, or when you lose a key that reveals your address. This practice strictly prevents unauthorized access and maintains a secure environment by ensuring that only trusted individuals have access to your home.
Rekeying a lock requires 10 to 15 minutes per unit when performed by a skilled professional. This efficient process resets the lock’s internal pins to work with a new key, rendering all previous keys ineffective. Rekeying offers a fast and secure solution that enhances your home security without disrupting your daily routine.
Security starts before the locksmith turns the first screw. Ask the dispatcher for the technician’s name, company ID, and arrival time, then confirm that information at the door. Once the job is done, request an itemized invoice and test every repaired lock yourself. Keep any old hardware or keys the professional removes and ensure they are either left with you or destroyed, so no surplus keys are left behind.
