Recommended Locksmiths?

Why not just go to home depot and buy and install the locks yourself?

 

Yes, ill be that guy.

 

I used nice locks that would cost me far more than it would to just have them re-keyed. Looking around I found that some of the retail stores like Home Depot and Lowes will re-key the locks if you bring them in.

 

I'll be looking into this. I just hate calling a stupid locksmith out for something I could do myself if I had the means to cut keys and change tumblers.

If you're having lock work done, I'd suggest upgrading to heavier springs to make the locks bump-resistant. I think a locksmith charged me something like $12 per lock for the heavier springs, but I felt it was worth it to make it harder for a thief to break-in. You'd think they'd offer this routinely, but I guess they don't. My .02

I installed the Kwikset brand with Smartkey. I can rekey when ever I feel like it without changing the lock. Don't even have to take them apart.

 

Something like this one, but I think mine have antibump and better security than this entry level set.
