ABM LOCK & KEY SERVICE

We called the company just after 8 AM because we were locked out of our garage due to a garage door malfunction. The locksmith arrived about 15 minutes later (no uniform or identification that he was associated with the company) and began working on opening the deadbolt on the the back door into our garage. Because of the way that the lock is situated with respect to the adjacent walls (the door is at the bottom of a very narrow exterior staircase), there was not much room for him to maneuver his tools. All in all, it took him nearly two hours to pick the lock - but, I think mostly as a matter of pride, he did not succumb to drilling out the middle of the lock. (Had he been required to do that, replacing the deadbolt would have cost an additional $50 or so.) While I had him at the house, I also asked him to extract the key that had broken off in our front door months earlier, which he did without any difficulty. I have no idea how much a locksmith service is supposed to cost, but I do know that the service representative provided professional and successful service.
