Five MORE Lock Fails

Locks can sometimes be a complicated problem, so thank goodness there are certified professionals out there to help you out all sorts of problems that may arise. (Hint-hint!!)

Here are some funny lock fails that definitely need some assistance from a locksmith.

It’s one thing to lock your keys in your car… but this one takes the cake! How hilariously embarrassing!

Yikes. While this might be incredibly funny, it’s also no fun when it happens to you. A lock mishap like this needs attention ASAP!

It’s situations like this that make a great story later, but in the moment, it’s good to have a locksmith’s number on speed dial!

Yeah this secured drawer wasn’t too well thought out. Perhaps it still has some uses like stashing your secret snacks or just for when you’re too lazy to unlock it yourself!

This miiiiight not be the best method. Especially if it’s going to rain.

So the next time you have a lock problem (or try to DIY your own) call us first. You’ll be glad you did!

Five Terrible Places to Hide a Key

While it’s a good step to hide your key in your yard in case of a lock-out, it’s important to choose that spot carefully and discreetly. While there are many good and unique places there are also some pretty awful places we suggest you do NOT hide your key. Here are five pretty awful spots to avoid.

That obviously fake rock from the dollar store:

That fake rock isn’t fooling anyone. In fact, it sticks out like a sore thumb and makes it even more obvious where your spare key is hidden. While a fake rock has become an obvious first place to look, if you’re going to go this route, stick with a more realistic one.

Under The Doormat:

Seriously. Don’t do this. It’s so so SO obvious. While it might be convenient for you, it’s also convenient for thieves too.

Under fake DIY dog poop:

There are lots of pretty good DIY ideas for hiding your key. Please don’t do this one. First of all you’re making a fake poop, secondly your neighbors are going to think that you never clean after your dog, and thirdly if you do need to get that key what’s everyone going to think when they see you picking up said turd?

In the mailbox:

This is another spot that is just unfortunately way too obvious. Anything that is convenient for you or the person who needs to use the key, means it is also going to be convenient and easy for anyone you do NOT want to have it.

Anywhere close to the door:

If you plan on hiding your key basically anywhere within 15 feet of your door, the chances of it being found go way up. Under that flower pot? Hidden underneath the adorable lawn gnome? Behind the seasonal decoration? If it’s near the door, it’s just going to be found easier by the wrong person.

So when you go to choose a spot to hide your key, make sure that you are making responsible choices for the security of your home and thinking less about the convenience of you or the person who will need the key.

Locksmith-spiration: Harry Houdini

While locksmithing might seem like a pretty straightforward profession, an incredibly famous locksmith was none other than the famous magician and illusionist Harry Houdini!

Houdini was known for some seriously death defying tricks that have made him a household name to this day, even though he died almost 100 years ago. But was he an actual locksmith, or was it all smoke and mirrors?

While many of his classic magic tricks in general have been revealed, he in fact actually did pick many of the locks that he used during his performances. A number of other illusions were used in his acts, but lockpicking was key (pun intended) to quite a few of the tricks he performed. While picking an old lock might not seem that impressive, the fact that he did it while under a number of stressors is incredible! From being underwater, suspended upside down, holding his breath, and even being buried underground, he was still able to pick the locks and free himself. What a pro!!

There is so much more about the life of Harry Houdini, but the fact that he was a skilled locksmith, on top of all of the other death defying trick he performed, makes him a true inspiration to locksmiths and magicians alike!

Ways to Secure Your Dorm Room

With many students just now enjoying the beginning of summer, there is still the excitement of starting classes in a few months. Perhaps this will even be your first time away from home in your brand new dorm room! While it’s exciting to think about your new friends, decor, and independence… it’s also an important time to think about safety and security.

Here are a few things you should think about when preparing for your time in your new dorm on campus.

Don’t Put Your Schedule on Social Media

It might be tempting to share out your exciting new class schedule… but don’t. If you want, share it privately with those who need it.

Keep Doors and Windows Locked

While you want to enjoy the freedom of college living, also be aware that you should always keep your space secured.

Put Away Expensive Stuff

That snazzy new laptop might look dope sitting on your desk for all to see, but it just isn’t worth it. Stash expensive items away and out of sight.

Invest in a Lockbox

This is another level of security for those important items you can’t go without. Keep anything of vital importance locked away when not in use.

Look Into Getting Insurance

This can possibly be added to a parent’s homeowner’s insurance, and can assist in replacing items if they are stolen.

Keep a Belongings Inventory

On this list we recommend also including serial numbers to any missing items, and even using a subtle color coding with stickers or a spot of nailpolish. That way if something goes missing, it’ll be easier to track it down and claim ownership.

Pups Who Just Couldn’t Wait for a Locksmith

When your dog misses you, there’s little that can get between you and their love… unless that thing happens to be a door. Here are five mischievous pooches that simply couldn’t wait another moment to get on the other side of the door.


This stinker just couldn’t handle being away from his owner any longer. Now if only that baby gate wasn’t there…

While one door might not be such an issue, make sure you don’t waste all of your energy on it just in case there’s another right after it.

source


We’re positive that the only reason this lil lady feels guilty is because she just has no thumbs to turn the knob.

source


This pup just chewed a little spot to have an extra eye out on everything. Seriously, he’s just trying to make sure everything is secure!

source


Even when you’re traveling, there is no way an RV door is going to get between your pooch and the adventure that awaits!

source

In all seriousness, if you find yourself in need of a locksmith, please don’t break your door. That route will just end up with further hastles and expenses. Call us and we’ll get you back inside in a jiffy!

…. And if your dog ate your door, good luck with that!

Safe places to keep your key while you jog

When you head out for a walk, the last thing you want to worry about is your key. While it could be tempting in some neighborhoods to just leave the door unlocked, you just never know what could happen. For safety’s sake, it’s best to always lock up before you head out.

Here are a few spot to safely put your house key while you burn those calories.

In a secured part of your clothing:

Many workout clothes already have a build in mini pocket to slip a key. For added measure, we suggest also including a safety pin if the pocket doesn’t have a zipper or snap closure.

In your music player’s holder:

If you go for a run with earbuds in, chances are you have something to hold your phone or MP3 player. Just tuck your key neatly in next to it and your ready to go.

On your dog’s collar:

A carabiner or other secure but easily removable key holder attached to Fido’s collar is a great way to safely stash your key if you don’t have a secure spot on you.

Hide your key in your yard:

If you have a good spot to stash your key, then don’t even worry about bringing it with you. Find a secure spot to hide it away and just discreetly let yourself back in when you’re done. Just make sure you’re not being too obvious.

Don’t use a key at all:

If dealing with a key multiple times a week while you try to get in some exercise is becoming tedious, why not think about installing a keyless lock? You can use a simple keypad or even an app on your phone to gain entryway without even having to deal with where you put a physical key. There are many types that can give you the method you’d prefer.

And if you DO lose your key while out on a jog… just give us a call and we’ll be there to help you regain entry to your home.

Three Reasons Your Door Key May Not Be Turning

If you find yourself in a situation where your front door lock no longer turns with your key, there are a number of reasons this could be happening.

Firstly, it could just be that the lock is gunked up with dust and grime. An outdoor lock is prime for collecting all sorts of tiny things floating around outdoors.

Another reason could be the key itself. If there is any damage, even what looks like minor, it could be causing the key and pins to not align correctly.

Third, there could be interior damage in the lock which is causing the failure.

Whatever the reason, it’s important to fix the issue to assure that the security of your home isn’t compromised, and to minimize the damage before it gets any worse.

So if you find yourself having issues with any lock in your home, we’re here to assess what is going on and take care of the problem!
