Owner does accurately describe what a and quot;service calland quot; includes. Were going to deduct $22 from overall charge. Before purchasing a big deal from them, I would call first to understand what a service call is and additional charges. I was very upset at the time of the appointment, to find out they were charging more than $150, etc. I could have hired any handyman from Angies list for $50-$65 per hour to do this job. Guy negotiated with me and the owner to bring the charge down to $50 plus the $22 I already paid for the big deal. Make sure this is really as competitive as it sounds. I don't think he understands the big deal at all. The reason I rated so lowly is because the work itself was not professional and certainly not worth $72. The young man, Guy was very nice, professional and truly wanted to please me. However, I don't think this was a professional job because the results look sloppy and damage to the door was done. Not just paint (which I expected) but a gouge that I now need to fill with wood filler, etc. So now I have to repair it or hire a handyman (an additional cost). Part of the reason I called a professional locksmith was so I would not have to do that! Also, the lock itself on the side is uneven and looks like an amateur did it. He said it was due to the thinness of hollow six panel doors--- I don't know. The lock and door work properly which is good news. I would be more upset if this were one of my exterior doors and would have asked for a refund. This work was not worth $72. Big deal lesson learned!

I bought one of the specials offered -- $75 for $100 work of work. First off, I was disappointed because I was unable to locate and view a price list. Secondly, in addition to the $75 I already paid, my daughter was quoted a price of over $200 just to have the lock installed. All we wanted was a simple lock replaced. I never would have guessed the price to be as high as she was quoted. I wanted to cancel the order, however, we were told there would be a cancellation fee and I would loose my money anyway.

Response from Keyed In LLC
Dear Member, We are sorry that our service was not up to your expectations. Unlike most other companies, Keyed In has a free on-site estimate policy. We come to your house, tell you exactly how much your job is going to cost, and you can then decide whether or not you would like to hire us. We do not charge cancellation fees, and neither does Angie's List - any voucher you purchase from them is fully refundable. Our records state that we quoted you a price of $125, which matches the price you listed in your review (with your voucher, $125 worth of services cost you $100). We apologize if there was some kind of miscommunication, and hope that you will consider giving us another chance in the future. Best, The Keyed In Team

They had to drill holes in the doors to install the locks. They did a good job and cleaned up after themselves. But it ended up costing more than I anticipated, but that might have been my lack of having anything to compare it to. One of the keys they left me didn't work and one of the door knob locks is very finicky, it has to be just so or it won't open. I probably should have called them back about these things, but it's hard to schedule repair persons.
Description of Work: They installed two dead bolts and and two regular door knobs and rekeyed all the locks to use the same key.

When I purchased the 2 service calls from Keyed In I mistakenly thought it would cover the cost of whatever work had to be done, minus materials and supplies. It only covered the arrival of the locksmith so the entire bill was still over $200.00. He was very polite, friendly and professional. I was expecting to just have the locks rekeyed but he convinced me it was cost-effective to have them replaced. He said the new locks were Schlage brand but there was nothing to indicate that on either the doorknobs or deadbolts so I'm still not sure they are actually what he said they are.
Description of Work: New deadbolts and doorknobs were installed on 2 doors.

The locksmith was upfront, honest, and gave thorough justification for his recommendations (installing a brand new regular door knob lock instead of changing the lock on the old one). His work was done in a timely fashion with regular updates on how things were going and changing. For example, he estimated the cost of drilling into a metal door (his initial assessment) and then changed his pricing later once he realized the door was filled with foam and not metal all the way through.

They came on time on 2/20/13 and installed 6 new locks. For, one of them, they had to cut the holes necessary. The locks on the front of the house worked for a few days, but they stuck. I called them back and they came to fix them. There were many excuses as to why they didn't work, but they sort of fixed them. The locks were still hard to use, but we learned how to deal with them. One week ago, the top, new lock would not work any longer. On 3/18, we had some workmen in demolishing a bathroom in the basement. They had to use the back door (which is rarely used) that Keyed In put in a new lock. The door was unlocked, but they had to open it frequently to take out the demolition material. The door knob froze and they couldn't open the door any longer. In order to meet the deadline for the truck to pick up the demo material, we had to remove the door from it's hinges - we missed the deadline anyway. I called again today and they fixed the from doors, but refused to do anything about the back door. Again today, the excuse for the front door was that the door was sagging down from the last time they were here. I would not use this company again as: - They are more expensive than most locksmiths in the area - They don't do go work - They do not stand behind their work - 3 of the 6 locks they installed were not installed correctly

Dear Member, We typically place a lot of value on our customer comments and read them carefully in order to improve our practices to benefit our future customers. That is one of the reasons we were able to win the 2012 Super Service Award. However, you and we both know that this post is not genuine. We installed six locks for you, you called us about having a problem with one of them, we arrived to fix the problem within 30 minutes, and when we got there you had thrown away the door with the "problematic" lock. When we told you we could only replace the lock for free if you could give us back the old one (we send faulty locks back to the manufacturer for a refund), you told us that if we didn't give you a lock at no charge you would post a bad review on Angie's List. Congratulations on upholding your end of the deal. We wish that you had been as reliable during our actual transaction. Best, The Keyed In Team
