The Key Locksmiths

I found a website that seemed very complete and boasted quick response times, so I called The Key Locksmith company to find Shahar O. Badani on the phone. He spoke with an accent and was difficult to understand at times, but I was happy that he could show up asap since it was the front door to my condominium being repaired. He arrived when my mother was attending my home and he looked at all the parts laying on the counter and went to his truck to find a replacement piece. My mother reports he came back and said he did not have the proper piece so he would see if he could just make it work with the same old pieces. My mother said that after he put it all back together and showed her that it worked again, he also noted that she was lucky to have saved the $45 for a new part since it was not needed after all. My mother paid $174 ($29 for "service" and $145 for "fx door") and I was chagrined when I arrived home to find the panel of the door crooked. Later that night when I was closing the door and locking it for maybe the 3rd time after being fixed by Mr. Badani, the handle of the dead bolt came off in my hand again and I was back at square one. It was late at night, so I waited until 8am on 9/4 to call him and tell him it was broken again. He started to say "your mother is a nice lady" and "I gave you a part for free" and was arguing before I even asked for another appt. After setting another time for him to return, I searched online for Yelp! reviews on any other locksmith that were all positive and found only one Baldwin Hardware Specialist with great reviews. I made an appointment with the Wingert's Locksmith company and called back Mr. Badani to cancel my appointment with him. What a relief!! The Wingert locksmith confirmed that there were no new Baldwin parts installed by Mr. Badani and even showed me the damaged parts that were obviously not working. Professional, prepared, well-spoken and intelligent, Stan Wingert perfectly installed all new Baldwin hardware that matches my other Baldwin parts, and my front door works like a dream. He also was extremely reasonable charging me only $120 for service and parts. You can find Stanley Wingert on www.baldwinspecialist.com or call him at (714) 546-8557.
