Atlas Lock and Security

Steve has performed work for my husband's business for many years, and has always done an excellent job. That's why we hired him to replace the knob and deadbolt on our front door and two others, so that they would be more secure and use the same key. We authorized Steve to replace the existing 5-pin locks with newer, 6-pin models and to select an elegant knob-deadbolt set for our front door, as the existing set was obsolete. We didn't discuss price. Steve and his assistant performed the work the next day. They did a very good job. However, my husband and I were shocked by the bill; we didn't imagine three sets of new hardware plus labor would come to nearly $875! Steve explained that, since we were very concerned about security, he installed commercial-grade hardware, which is more secure than those designed for home use. He also offered to get us a discount on a burglar alarm system. Steve is a good guy whom we like and trust, which is why we'll hire him again. The next time he works on our house, we'll get an estimate rather than make assumptions.
