We reached out to get a lock re-keyed and they were able to take care of it the next day. Prior to coming, they were clear and upfront about pricing, which we thought was reasonable. The locksmith arrived on time and was communicative. Definitely a better experience than we had with other local locksmiths.

They charged $165 for a stuck key recovery in a simple residential door lock. The key was not broken. It was a weekday, non-emergency call. It required 15 minutes of work. You decide whether that is a fair rate.
Friendly, same-day service.

Right in the middle of Thanksgiving day Tim and Daniel got us out of a bind when no one else was even answering the phones. The job was complicated by aging door hardware, up five floors of stairs, and with other building security hassles. They came fully prepared and were able to replace and key lock cylinders on the spot.
We hope you have as good an experience with them as we did.
