Why is a professional locksmith your best choice for residential and commercial lock installation and lock repair jobs? Wouldn?t hiring a professional be much more expensive? Many people may even suggest to you that hiring a handyman from your own neighbourhood or somewhere nearby would be less costly and more practical. They would typically argue that such a handyman would be able to do the tasks you require just as readily, and would be even be easier to summon. You have to make a judicious decision, however, on whether you should indeed risk your residential or commercial security by seeking unprofessional assistance in terms of lock installation and lock repair.

Keep in mind that making the wrong decisions in cost cutting could actually result in even more expensive outlays in the long run. If you hire an unprofessional handyman from the neighbourhood for your residential and commercial lock installation and lock repair needs, you are putting valuable property at risk. Although a handyman may indeed be able to do the installation and repair of basic security hardware such as a padlock or deadbolt, he may not be able to do much more. If you limit yourself only to such simple locks for your residential and commercial properties, you are not adequately protected against burglars, thieves and other intruders who have become even more devious through the years. You therefore need more advanced security hardware and high security locks, for which you will then need professional locksmith services in lock installation and lock repair.

In choosing a professional locksmith, make sure you pick wisely, too. Do not let yourself be victimized by dishonest locksmith companies such as those who have been reported to be performing scams across the country. Thoroughly check the credentials of any professional locksmiths before you actually hire them.

You can hire a professional locksmith to do lock installation and lock repair for high security locks, locks for sliding glass doors, special knobs, key cylinders, levers, deadbolts, door viewers, safes, secure mailboxes and surveillance cameras for residential units.

If in case a residential unit has existing locks that have been in any way compromised, often when persons who hold keys to them are no longer welcome to have free access to the unit, a professional locksmith can be hired to quickly and easily replace all such locks. A more cost effective measure, however, would be to ask the same professional locksmith to re-key the locks instead. This means simply changing the lock pins and wafer tumblers of the locks concerned, rendering all current keys unusable. New keys will then be cut on the site. Even higher security is provided by restricted keys like Medeco, which many professional locksmiths recommend.
