Locksmith recommendations?

Sadly, my roommates and I are looking at the possibility of having to get the locks changed on our front door. We live near Harvard Square. Anyone have recommendations for a Cambridge/Somerville locksmith they really like? And, what's a reasonable price range we should expect them to charge us? Thanks.

Have you experienced any issues with lock not working when battery runs out?

No issues in the six years I've had them. I have those locks on both my front door and back door, and the front door battery is ~1 year newer than the back door, so I figure that if one battery runs out I can always get in the other door. There's also a red warning light when the battery starts running low. I try to remember to change each battery every 2 years anyway (before the warning light comes on) but I'm not particularly anal about that.
