Protect Yourself Against Lock Bumping
Lock Bumping is a technique that's been around for many years. My grandfather who was a locksmith bumped locks in service to clients. It's a simple way to 'pick' a pin tumbler lock using a bump key.

What is a Bump Key?
I don't want to go into too much detail in case it's used by the wrong people, but a bump key is a blank key that has been modified. It will slide into any pin tumbler lock and enable a thief to gain entry to your home in seconds. Lots of pictures and videos are available on the web.  Click Here to find out more about Lock Bumping.

Bump-Proof Locks
Most dead bolts in use today are NOT bump proof, but High Security bump proof locks DO EXIST. We have a special price on a good one immediately below. When you consider the financial costs of replacing your valuables or your identity it's not a lot to pay for protection. I carry a complete product line of Underwriters Laboratory listed (UL) High Security Deadbolts that are pick and bump resistant.

Locks Rekeyed
Did you just move into a new house or apartment? How many builders, tradesmen, and friends of previous tenants have keys to your new home. All these worries can be eliminated by rekeying your existing locks. New locks are not required. It's a simple, clean and quick process. See the Special Offer on left top of this page.

Master Keyed
In a commercial setting you can give your security people one key that fits all pertinent locks, and yet each of the individual tenants can only open their own lock. Or in a residential setting, you can have any or all of the locks in your home or apartment work from the same key. No more trying to remember which key works in which lock. And no more cumbersome key rings bulging in your pocket.

High Security Safes (Fire & Burglar)
A good safe will protect your valuables from fire, natural disasters, and theft. Safes come in all sizes and shapes and can save you a great deal of financial loss, or heartbreak if pieces of sentimental value are lost. Sometimes it's much more convenient to have your valuables instantly accessible and yet still secure.

Alarms
Just the fact that you have an alarm will deter criminals from entering your residence or place of business. If they do get in, the fact that they've been discovered will encourage them to leave immediately. Alarms can also protect you against fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide poisoning. We can recommend one that suits your needs.

Target Hardening
This means making it harder for criminals or opportunists to break into your place, and discouraging them from even trying by making your security measures visibly obvious. This can be a strong deterrent. Examples of target hardening would be putting blocker plates over doorframe and lock, cages over lights, grills or shatter film on windows, enclosed shackles on padlocks, window locks, and installing security doors.

Security Surveys
A Security Survey is a comprehensive look at all aspects of your situation. Some people take a 'patch-work' approach to their security, and this inevitably leaves holes. But doing it right means setting aside a few moments for planning. We will be happy to guide you through this process step-by-step and ensure your peace of mind.

Locked out of Bathroom?
For a door that has a privacy lock (the kind with a hole in the knob on the outside), keep a tool handy that will open this door if it is locked by your toddler with you on the outside and your toddler on the inside. The tool can be made from a piece of coat hanger or a metal skewer from the kitchen drawer or the inside of a ballpoint pen. Kept handy, it could save you from considerable anxiety and frustration trying to get a toddler to unlock the door.

Both chain and solid brass door guards are quick and inexpensive for our professionally trained locksmiths to install. They allow the door to be opened only a few inches but provide a substantial amount of security in return for the small investment.
