Cool, arent they?

The Schlage deadbolt is very hard to lock. I’m a little leary of having a locksmith work with it, since they would then have a key to the house, although I’m not sure if this should be a concern.
Can the whole Schlage deadbolt assembly be replaced, and might this solve the problem?
How do you find a trustworthy locksmith?
Thanks for any suggestions!
