| |
I'm Locked out of my car, should I try and open it myself? should I call the police? or should I call a professional Auto-Locksmith? |
| |
Well, that's almost a rhetorical question. Back in the old days, like you have probably seen in the movies, you would not need anything more than a thin bar to open any locked car. Today, things are different. First of all, car makers, design the cars in a way that requires real genuine knowledge about the odds and ins of that specific model. To open a locked car, you need not only knowledge and experience but also many special auto-locksmith tools. Trying to open a locked vehicle without the right tools, would result in damaging your car. Never ever try and deal with a locked car yourself, it wouldn't help to call the cops too - as they hardly ever respond to such a call. The only thing to do is to call a professional locksmith, and not any locksmith - make sure he's a car-locksmith and that he knows what he's doing. It may cost you a few dollars, but it would ensure your car unlocked in the most un-damaging way possible. |

Why should I invest in pick-proof specialized security locks? |
| |
My Grandfather used to say: "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things", and since then whenever I buy hardware I think about these words. When It's time to change the locks for your home or office, it is wiser to invest in high-end security products that will help repel possible intruders in the best possible way and serve you for a long time. I have changed countless cheap door locks and window locks that had a life time span of 2-3 years or for the first break in - take your pick. |

My entry door has been damaged - some of glass components have been broken. My question is can I replace just the exterior door glass, or do I need a whole new glass entry door? |
| |
Glass doors sometimes break - it just happens. It's highly recommended that at the point of purchase - look for reinforced glass. Reinforced glass is the type of glass that can stand most types of hits and would serve you for a lifetime. Other types of glass doors - those with thin glass layers - might break at the very first attempt or accident. If it happens - there is absolutely no need to replace the whole door. Most glass doors are made so you can replace only the glass components without having to get a brand new door. It's cost effective and is not very complicated. |
