Trust Only a Professional Locksmith to Unlock Your Car and do Residential and Commercial Lock Installation or Lock Repair
Why should you trust only a professional locksmith to unlock your car and do residential and commercial lock installation or lock repair? The answer is that only a professional locksmith can provide you with the expertise necessary for your security. Putting your security needs in the hands of non-professionals jeopardizes your safety and the safety of your family or employees and clients, and also costs you a lot more in the end.
Being accidentally locked out of one’s car is a common problem encountered by almost everyone, either because the automotive keys were left inside or misplaced. It used to be easy to ask a neighborhood handyman to help unlock the car using a coat hanger or a Slim Jim. These days, though, even the police will be reluctant to help you unlock your car that way unless there is a real emergency such as having to rescue a child left inside. This is because even the police have learned that trying to unlock car doors that way often results in inflicting expensive damage that they may be held liable for. Car doors these days are much more complicated and sophisticated. A professional locksmith will refer to manuals and tools appropriate to your car model and will use skills instead of force.
A professional locksmith can install residential security hardware such as high security locks, deadbolts, key cylinders, levers, knobs, locks for sliding glass doors, door viewers, surveillance cameras, secure mailboxes and safes. A professional locksmith can also re-key existing locks. This means changing the lock pins and wafer tumblers with ones that can no longer be opened by the old keys. New keys can then be cut on site. Re-keying existing locks is much less expensive than installing new locks, and provides comparable levels of security. It should be done when moving into a new residence, when your keys have been stolen, or when you want to withhold access from someone who has previously had keys to the site.
Even new keys can be duplicated by anyone without your knowledge, though. For even tighter security choose lock brands that have restricted keys, meaning key duplication will only be done with your authorization. This ensures that you have full control over the number of keys available and who holds them.
A professional locksmith can also install commercial security hardware such as access control systems, buzzer entry systems, master key systems, panic and emergency exit devices, rear door security bars, padlocks, file cabinet locks, desk locks, door closers, secure key cabinets, safes and lockboxes for real estate properties. Access control systems may include keyless entry such as biometrics, using fingerprints, for example.
A professional locksmith may also be authorized reproduce Medeco registered security keys, and may have the capability to install and repair steel and glass storefront doors.
An experienced professional locksmith knows how thieves break into private property. Thieves break glass doors, break through a back door or cellar door, kick in the door, pick the lock, drill the lock, hammer the lock, wrench off the lock, or pry off the lock with a crowbar. The professional locksmith also knows what types and brands of locks, double locks, deadbolts, dropbolts and padlocks can stand up to such attacks.

Leaving door open for contractors?
I'm having some contractors work on the outside of my house this weekend.
I will be gone for about 5 hours while they work.
I don't know them except for a few references.
I feel bad about locking the door when I leave in case they need to use the bathroom. Would you give them unsupervised access to the house in this situation?
Wow, now I feel silly for even asking.
I used to install windows in college and often people had no choice but to give me unsupervised access to the house.
I think you've all changed my opinion on the issue.
As a General Contractor, I do not like to use a customers bath room for my crew or subs. I rent a Porta-Toilet. On smaller jobs men usually take a morning break, afternoon and go to convienience store for drink,etc., so they use restroom there.
I would not want people using my bathroom without someone being there. On larger jobs I usually do need to get in the house to shoot floor elevations, check other things, subs need to get in. I have a meeting with all subs, myself, and owners to bring this up. I also give the owners a few days to have a chance to meet my carpenters and get familiar with them, and then it's easier to trust them. Our carpenters have nice homes so they know how to treat others.
So no, do not leave your house open for them. Check to make sure they have an outside outlet if they need power. And give them your cell phone if something comes up.
Don't be overly suspicous, but do take note of what things you have left outside. Some contractors hire new people every summer, and they really don't know much about them.
Put common sense on your side.
