Harry is a excellent contractor.? He is polite, professional and fair.? What started as a easy job became a bit complicated due to our custom lock. He knew exactly what he needed to do to resolve the issue. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him again if necessary.

It was a total pleasure working with Harry.  He communicates extremely, shows up on time, does great work, and is priced very affordably.  In addition, he cares about his work and has a great customer bed-side manner.  I consider this a no-brainer choice and would use him again if I have any other locksmith needs.

I communicated with Harry through e-mails about the door problems.  He suggested what kind of door lever i should get.  He came over to replace it and even adjusted the lock too.

I called him about 10 am, told him that my elderly mom's key had been stolen.  Harry was very friendly and professional on the phone,and wanted to give my mother "peace of mind."  Turns out he was in the area, and arranged to "slip" my job in just as soon as he could.  The entire job was done within two hours, at the exact quoted price. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience.  Thanks!

Harry came, well dressed, well spoken and very courteous. He introduced himself, gave us a business card and started performing the work immediately. Within 10 minutes, it was done. I love how my locks operate now. I kept his card and I have referred him a few times eversince. Thank you Harry !

I called Locksmith Central at 5:15 PM on a Tuesday hoping that someone would pick up.  A very personable gentleman named Harry did. I told him that I?d just installed new locks but that they weren?t lining up properly with the old holes and that the matter needed to be addressed quickly. Harry asked, ?Would tomorrow work for you??  Perfect!  When he arrived and inspected the problem, it required some major surgery as far as I was concerned?drilling, dremeling, chiseling and lots of rejiggering.  ?I won?t leave till you?re happy with the results,? he said.  I couldn?t have been happier with his attitude and perfectionism. He took his time until everything worked flawlessly and then only charged $45 for a basic service call just as he'd promised. WOW! Super guy, super service, super price. Thank you Harry Melkonian!

I would definitely recommend Harry to anyone.  He worked around my schedule and  Re-Keyed the locks to my new home quick and easy.  In fact it has been the easiest task to set up in my new home so far.  His prices are very competitive and he's great to work with.

Originally Harry installed new front door handle sets that we had procured...and all went extremely well , on time, and he was the consummate professional.  we had him come back today to adjust the strike plate as our door may have shifted.  He was Johnny on the spot and took care of the issue with a "no charge" this time. I would highly, and I mean I normally do not pass out these compliments, but "highly recommend him to anyone.

Harry laughed saying he didn't want to call me back immediately, since I messaged him at 3am...but when we connected at 8, he was more than willing to make the drive up to Oceanside after his first appointment.  He showed up in his really amazing Toyota Prius that he's turned into a mobile locksmith workshop, and told me how much it'd cost and volunteered the Angie's List discount.  It took hardly anytime at all -- he's a real pro.  I really enjoyed watching Harry do his stuff, and we shared a few stories.
Harry is scared of snakes, so please throw a rubber snake at him...and tell him Charlie in Oceanside put you up to it.
He mounted a new latch on my sliding glass door at no charge.  He figured out what I'd been struggling with for weeks in about 5 minutes.
 He's the guy you want to know when you lock yourself out of your car, need your house keys changed, or anything of the sort.
Thanks Harry!

Door locked broke in closed position between garage and house. Called Harry and he immediately tried to talk me through a fix that failed. With available time between appointments, he stopped by and had to break out the jammed internal latch mechanism and replaced it with a used one, that he provided for free. I?m a happy man and very appreciative.

Harry displays superior verbal skills, communicating clearly, concisely, on all work that he completed at our home.  He listens carefully, asks perceptive questions, and quickly gets to the issue at hand as it relates to all work. Harry was extremely thorough and proactive about keeping me well informed.
 
Harry put us first, showing the highest degree of courtesy and sensitivity to our needs. He exceeded our expectations by going out of his way to make sure we were happy with all work he performed. 
 
Harry demonstrates significant expertise at his job with his in-depth knowledge and skills. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family or anyone looking for locksmith work.
Thanks!
