Ditec Automatic Door Opener installation

Recently we were asked to install an automatic door opener system at a commercial location. We decided to use the Ditce HA8-LP because of low-energy operation, durabiity, and small header for limited clearance.

The Ditec HA8-LP is great for high traffic locations such as hospitals, retail stores, schools & universities, airports, convention centers, casinos, industrial buildings and offices. We also installed a push plate for easy activation of the swing door for those with disabilities.

Yes Virginia, there are honest locksmiths

These days it seems there are nothing but bad locksmiths around, out to scam hardworking people. A Google search produces pages and pages of locksmith scams and locksmith horror stories where everyday people fall victim to unscrupulous, fake locksmiths.

Well, we’re here to tell you that not all locksmiths are bad. Our company, J & B Locksmith Service, has been installing and repairing a variety of locking systems for over 40 years.

When you call us you talk to a real person in our office, not somebody in a call center thousands of miles away. We are licensed and insured. We show up when we say we’ll be there, and we charge reasonable rates – just like a lot of other honest locksmiths located throughout the United States.

So this holiday season we want to tell you, yes, there are a lot of locksmith scams going on. But at the same time, there are also a lot of trustworthy, reliable locksmith services out there, and we are one of these locksmith companies.

We wish all our clients and website visitors a wonderful and happy holiday season!

It’s an unfortunate reality, dishonest locksmiths are all around us. Here are a few tips on what to watch for when dealing with a mobile locksmith you’ve never worked with before:

  • They should have a truck with their company name on it;
  • Ask for their locksmith license, Connecticut (and 13 other states) require locksmiths to be licensed;
  • Ask for references;
  • Ask for a business card, many fly-by-night “locksmiths” don’t even bother to get business cards.
