We called Keyed In to re-key the locks in a new home. When the person from Keyed In arrived he told us that we couldn't re-key because the locks were old and had been re-keyed before. He assured us the locks he had were of superior quality to the ones we had at the time. We decided to go ahead. Shortly after the locksmith left, we wanted to leave the house and the top lock on the front door would not turn. We tried it several times and finally were able to lock the door. I called back the company and they told me they transferred me to the locksmith who had done the job. He told me that kind of issue sometimes happens to locks right after they are installed but should go away. I insisted that he come check out the problem because I wanted to make sure we would not be caught again trying to leave the house without being able to properly lock our front door. He told me he would check his calendar and text me a date and time to come back in the following couple of days when he had another job nearby - I said I would make myself available. He never called or texted me. I called the company again on 6/13 because the problem continues to persist. The person who answered the phone apologized and told me the locksmith would come back to fix the issue on 6/15 between 2 and 4 pm. On 6/15 around 11.30 am the locksmith calls me and says that his schedule has changed and he can either come earlier or we can reschedule. I asked him what time he would come and he told me he had another job nearby and then would be coming over. I asked him to call after his job and he suddenly seemed annoyed. He asked me what the problem was with the lock and I explained. He told me he already knew what the issue was and told me to open the door and try to turn the bolt, which I did and it worked - which it does on and off, the problem is that it is not consistent. He then told me the door was sagging and asked if the top of the door was a straight line and I said yes and told him there were no signs of sagging. Then he said the issue must be that the door needs to be reframed and that is not covered by the warranty on the service he provided. He added that he could come over to take a look but that would not be covered. I told him that I would not be paying for any additional services as both the door and lock were working perfectly before he installed new locks. He told me again (several times) that this was not a covered issue. I told him Keyed In had lost my trust because they had not come through on any of the promises - quality product (after talking to friends who have worked as locksmiths, I was told the locks I was sold were not good quality and that I overpaid), warranty, and service (for all the reasons above) and that I would be writing a review on Angie's list as an unsatisfied customer - during this part of the conversation the locksmith continued to talk over me and I eventually hung up. He called me back and told me that I could write a review on Angie's list but the company would take it down, in his words, as they had with so many other reviews before mine because the issue I was having was not covered by their warranty. I am extremely dissatisfied between being sold cheap locks for great locks, feeling that once the sale had been made the company was not responsive to my complaint, and finally being dismissed because a locksmith who won't even come to take a look at the lock has conveniently diagnosed the problem over the phone as being an issue that is not covered. I trusted this company because it had so many great reviews on Angie's list. I hope I can continue trusting the reviews I read on this site!
Description of Work: The provider replaced the locks on the front door (double lock), back door, and garage door.

Response from Keyed In LLC
Dear Member, This is Shay Knaani, the owner of Keyed In. I am so incredibly sorry that you had this experience with our company. I learned of this situation when I saw your review this morning, and immediately placed the technician who came to your home on probation. This behavior is unacceptable and clearly goes against our goal to provide the best possible customer service. My co-owner or I will personally come to your home to address any problems you have at your earliest convenience. In the meantime, there are a few specific points from your review that I would like to address. First, our company schedules appointments based on the customer's schedule, not our own. This technician never should have put his schedule ahead of yours, never should have given you incorrect information about when he would call back, and never should have cancelled on you. On the last point, we have multiple technicians working for our company - if one is unexpectedly tied up, another will take the job instead. This technician should have reported to the company that he was unable to make it to you instead of calling and cancelling. We will make sure that all of our employees clearly understand this rule going forward. Second, our company provides an unconditional 90-day warranty on parts and labor. We pride ourselves that if a customer ever calls with a problem, we can typically send a technician to their home on the same day to address it. This clearly did not happen in your case, and I apologize for it. The technician should have come to your home to assess the problem and fix it. If your locks were working properly before we arrived, then our mistake clearly caused your current problem, and I am dismayed at the level of unprofessionalism this technician displayed by dismissing your issue over the phone. Finally, I want to make it perfectly clear that our company has absolutely no control whatsoever over what our customers post on Angie’s List, or on any other review forum. We cannot “take down” reviews, and this technician insulted the credibility of both our company and Angie’s List by saying otherwise. Again, I am truly sorry that you had such a negative experience with Keyed In. This review provided me with valuable information about one of our employees and about our internal communications, so I am glad to have received it. If you are willing to continue working with us, I hope that our future interactions will demonstrate that this technician’s actions do not represent a typical experience with Keyed In. Sincerely, Shay Knaani, Owner

It was a great overall experience! I had never used this company before... found them on Angie's list and they were outstanding! The guy (Mark) showed up on time and was very responsive and performed the work flawlessly. I used an Angie's List coupon ($75.00 for $35.00) and payed only the balance of $74.00 after the work was completed. Everything he installed works great and looks great. Mark even helped me with another small issue with one of our bathroom doors not closing correctly. He was knowledgeable and completed the work in a timely manner. Thanks Mark!!!!
Description of Work: Had them change 2 door locking systems and re-key them to match.

xt See above - I don't have the time to repeat what I said above!!1
Description of Work: The locksmith or person acting as one showed up as scheduled. The only problem I had was a loose tumbler on one lock coming in from the garage. The repairman represented that it could not be fixed, tightened or repaired and proceeded to sell me a new lock for my door. I was in a hurry that day and was somewhat distracted so I didn't watch closely what he was doing. When he finished the job and I paid him, looking at the new lock and the door fitting later that day, it was a cheap lock, and did not fit the opening in the door very well. The lock is very hard to open with the key, requiring quite a bit of leverage and cannot be opened using your left hand (not enough clearance between door jam and lock). In essence, it was a very lousy job and I think I was taken advantage of....I was robbed!!!

Had several doors with different keys, they rekeyed some of the doors to use the same key. Did not do all the doors because of the cost of the service. We were initially told that it would be more efficient to replace all of the locks, however the price was more than we were will to pay, so the technician rekeyed some of the locks instead.
