    I'm looking for a reputable and reasonably priced locksmith. Does anyone have any recommendations? I want to have all of the external locks changed on my home. Saturday hours a plus. Thanks

    Baldino's is who I have used in the past. They are generally well regarded. I'm not sure what they charge for what you want or what you consider reasonable, so you probably need to call them.

    Be cautious who you use. Right after we moved to Ashburn, my wife locked herself out of the house and called me at work. At the time I didn't think Baldino's served Ashburn so I found someone on the Internet who was supposed to be local and serviced Ashburn. They drilled the lock (destroying the knobset), sold my wife a new knobset and charged about $700. When I called to talk about the outrageous charge, I discovered they operated out of NY. (Note: I later found out that Baldino's did serve Ashburn and would have charged $85 to pick the lock and not have damaged it.)

    +1 on Baldino's. We have used them several times over the past 15 years.

    Add me to the chorus of Baldino's fans. I had a situation where I had to have all of my locks changed ASAP, they were over pretty fast and did a great job.

    Baldino's it is!

    Thanks all for taking the time to make the recommendation.
