Locksmith was on time and friendly. Told what was happening at each step of the way. Made sure my lock (deadbolt) was functioning perfectly before leaving. Would have them back again in a minute.

I called Lion Security to fix our front door. We could not lock it. The response was quick and the serviceman arrived on time. After inspecting the door he suggested a new lock. I agreed. After installing the lock I was told the door still did not lock because the opening in the door frame was out of alignment with the lock due to the expanding and contracting of the wood over the years. The door assembly is 30 years old. He said he could not fix the handle and I should call a carpenter. Less than a month later the door handle fell off. I did NOT call Lion because the repairman had already said he could not fix it. I tried a handyman and a carpenter and they each said it was a job for a locksmith. Today All Over Lock & Key repaired the door. I was so frustrated I waited months between each attempted repair and we just stopped using the front door. There was a small bit of misalignment which today was fixed with a small router attached to a drill. I'm embarrassed to have been so gullible as to believe the Lion Security technician.
Description of Work: Installed an MT cylinder and made 3 keys

Amazing. Lou was super friendly and very helpful. He installed 3 deadbolts and not only offered a discount on the price, he added the Angie List customer discount on top of it, he even discounted the cost of duplicating keys. Lou is a great find.

Leo was extremely competent in helping me retrieve store video information recently when my credit card was used fraudulently. He arrived on the scene promptly, resolved some DVR issues, then patiently worked with the employers to gather much needed information. He even went out of his way to pick up needed items to help me. It is not every day that you find such a nice, patient, and honest person to provide such exceptional care. Thank you.

Leo was courteous and punctual. The repair was done quickly and has lasted four months now. We were really happy that he found a way to repair the doorknob instead of replacing it. He honored his company's Angie's List coupon, as promised. We definitely recommend LION SECURITY LOCKSMITH and will call Leo again, when needed!

Leo came to my home on short notice, was right on time, accommodating me at my lunch hour. He repaired my front door keylock set, sanded my new key so it would not stick AND let my doggie out of the bathroom, she had locked herself in! This is the kind of service I remember from years past. Fast, Fair and Friendly!! The kind of service we should all give and receive. Thanks LEO!! Highly recommend this company and I will call him in the future!

Just read the review and you will know "how it went"
Description of Work: I purchased their "deal" for $19.95 only to find out when the guy called that that doesn't cover ANY work, just the cost to come out, Then he starts to negotiate with me on the price to do the work. All he had to do was sate that the service call cover say 30 min or something. Why should I pay someone to come out to give me a quote? As for the quality of the work who knows but I won't call him back

Response from Lion Security & Locksmith
Dear member Just wanted to clarify few basic things about our "big deal". The Big Deal covers a discounted service/ trip charge that usually runs for $55. Angies List specifically saying on the fine print that all labor and parts are at extra charge and the our company is willing to give a significant discount to all members. On the morning of the day of the work , I called you to let you know that I can get to your home earlier to do the job. You were very rude on the phone , and for some reason it felt that the $19 you paid will cover service call + installation of two locks. I was very polite explaining you what the deal covers and even offered a discounted rate for the work. when you refused to negotiate the price I kindly told you that you can get a full refund for your purchase. You Hung The Phone in My Face. Lion Security Locksmith does offer FREE ESTIMATES at your home or on the phone. All you had to do is call and ask for price before buying the deal. My suggestions to you is next time take a moment and read the full offer , and a bit improvement on your personal way with people would work as well , after all Angie's List is based on business and negotiations between people.

The locksmith did not perform any services at this time because we agreed to give the tenant more time to move out, however, I couldn't have been more impressed with his professionalism. I was given a very clear and fair price breakdown of the potential services. He was on time and very courteous. I will call Lion Security Locksmith next time and feel that I have found a good person to work with.

Leo responded promptly when I purchased his coupon on Angie's List Big Deal. He made an appointment on my 1st preferred date and was right on time. He was very professional and quickly replaced a broken dead lock and rekeyed it for our existing keys. He also made some adjustments on another lock to improve it's performance. He gave us a generous discount on the parts and a 20% senior discount to boot. We were very happy with his service. He will be our first choice if we need a locksmith again.
