Understanding Lock Technology and Security

Knowledge empowers better security decisions. At Atlanta 24 Hour Locksmith, we believe in educating our customers about how locks work and what options are available to protect their property.

How pin tumbler locks work: Most residential and commercial locks use a pin tumbler mechanism. Inside the lock cylinder, spring-loaded pins of varying lengths must align at the shear line for the lock to open. When you insert the correct key, the cuts on the key lift each pin to the precise height needed, allowing the plug to rotate and the lock to open.

High-security locks add features that make them more difficult to defeat. Security pins (spool, serrated, or mushroom-shaped) cause the plug to bind if someone attempts lock picking with a tension wrench and pick tools. These advanced pins require significantly more skill and time to manipulate, deterring most criminals.

Common mistakes homeowners make:

  • Relying on builder-grade locks that offer minimal security
  • Failing to rekey after moving or when keys are lost
  • Ignoring signs of lock wear that could lead to failure
  • Using DIY methods like a plastic card to open latches, which damages door frames
Our locksmiths can assess your current security and recommend upgrades that provide meaningful protection without breaking your budget.

How to identify fair pricing: Reputable locksmith companies provide estimates before beginning work. Be wary of businesses that quote extremely low prices over the phone - they often add hidden fees upon arrival. Our hourly rate and service fees are clearly communicated upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.

Trip fees explained: Most locksmiths charge a trip fee to cover travel time and vehicle costs. This fee is typically £15-£35 for the Atlanta metro area. Legitimate companies include this in their initial quote rather than surprising you at the end.

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I choose a reputable locksmith in Atlanta?
Look for a locksmith with a verified physical location and address, proper licensing, and positive customer reviews. Ask for identification upon arrival and request a written estimate before work begins. Reputable companies like Atlanta 24 Hour Locksmith are transparent about pricing and happy to answer questions about their credentials and experience.
How much should a locksmith cost?
Locksmith prices in Atlanta typically range from £50-£150 for standard services, depending on the type of work and timing. Emergency and after-hours calls may include additional fees. Always request an upfront estimate. Be cautious of quotes that seem unusually low - this often indicates a scam operation that will add charges once they arrive.
Can a locksmith make a new key without the original?
Yes, professional locksmiths can create new keys without the original using specialised equipment. For vehicles, we use VIN decoding and key programming tools. For homes and businesses, we can decode existing locks or rekey them to work with new keys. This service is common when customers have lost their only key or need the original replaced.
Can a locksmith unlock any door in Atlanta?
A skilled locksmith can unlock virtually any door using professional techniques and tools. We use methods like lock picking with a tension wrench and pick, bypass tools, and when necessary, drilling. Our goal is always to open locks without causing damage whenever possible. Some high-security locks may require more time and specialised approaches.
What are common mistakes in lock picking?
Common mistakes include applying too much torsion pressure, which prevents pins from moving; failing to identify binding pins correctly; and lifting pins past the shear line. Professional locksmiths train extensively to feel subtle feedback through their tools. The bottom pin must align precisely with the shear line for each pin stack before the plug will rotate.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?
Rekeying is typically more affordable than full lock replacement - usually £20-£40 per lock versus £75-£150 for replacement. Rekeying is ideal when your locks are in good condition but you need new keys, such as after moving into a new home. Replacement is recommended if your locks are worn, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher-security models.
How quickly can a locksmith arrive in Atlanta?
Our mobile locksmith teams are positioned throughout the Atlanta metro area for fast response. Most emergency calls receive service within 20-30 minutes. Response times may vary depending on your location, traffic conditions, and current call volume. When you call our phone number at (404) 800-7855, we'll provide an accurate arrival estimate.
What should I do if I'm locked out of my car?
Stay calm and ensure you're in a safe location. Call a professional automotive locksmith rather than attempting DIY methods like using a coat hanger or shoelace, which can cause damage to your vehicle and void warranties. Our locksmiths use proper tools designed for your specific vehicle body and lock type to gain entry safely.
