Called on Tuesday with limited time frame that I could be home, Thanks a lock came the next day promptly during my 1 hour lunch break. Service was quick and professional. Would use again.

They did a great job installing the Medco locks for us. They replaced two locks for us, and I would recommend them to anyone.

They could not have been more helpful, and was so honest with me. They were very prompt and came out very quickly. He wouldn't sell me a more expensive lock when it would not actually be something I need.The honesty was refreshing. The gentlmen that came out was very polite, clean and professional, which says a lot about the company. I could not think more highly of a company.

All went well. I thought it was expensive, but I haven't had this type of service performed in the past.

The installation went well. He seemed like a nice guy. Then, the next day, we noticed the door shifted a bit so we called to ask them to come back to adjust it. The guy went nuts screaming and yelling. After spending all that money on locks, I would think its a no-brainer to come take a look?
Response from THANKS A LOCK
"Unfortunately when you called you did not contact our company. You are a victim of a scam artist down here in South Fl that uses other locksmiths names with his phone numbers. He charges inflated rates for very bad service. He has been arrested and convicted of this and is not even supposed to be doing business. So this review does not reflect work done by our company. Here is a link to the TV station report on this: [hyperlink removed] Please feel free to call us at 561-852-0433 and we would be more than happy to come out to your home and assist you anyway we can. Thank You!"

I purchased an electric (battery) front door lock on line from Home Depot. It's a Schlage and my friend has the exact same one. She had hers installed a number of years ago and has had no problems with it. I kept locking myself out of my house and decided it was time for me to get that lock. I called Thanks A Lock this morning at about 10:30 and spoke with Josh. I told him what I needed and he said he could be here "within the hour" and told me the price for the service call and the per hour rate. 45 minutes later he was here ready to go. This was a little more complicated than a normal lock but Josh went right at it. The hole in the door had to be enlarged (it's a metal clad door) so that took a while. He finished just within the hour, cleaned up and made sure I understood how the lock worked even though I was very familiar with my friends. The price was quite reasonable and he was very pleasant to do business with. I would definitely recommend them.

Mike from this company came out and was upfront as to what he was going to do.  He popped the lock out, made keys and that was that.  It did take some time, but he was patient with it and got the job done.

They were great.  The fellows I spoke to on the phone were very nice, and the fellow that came to do the work was as well.  He knew what he was doing, and he was very pleasant.  He was prompt, and he also called me as he was on his way over here to tell me that he was on his way.  I felt that the price was reasonable, and the work was very good.  I would definitely use them again.

They were very helpful, kind and efficient.  I called them after someone entered my home without permission while I was out.  They came over immediately and changed the keys to the front door.   By re-keying the lock instead of changing the entire thing, they saved me money and time.  They also helped me pick out locks for my sliding glass doors and installed them. 
They were terrific.  I recommend them without reservation.

I purchased a set of locks and door handles as replacements with the intention of installing them myself. Ultimately I decided that it would be better to have a locksmith do the installation. After consulting with Angie's List ( for the first time) I called "Thanks-A Lock" locksmiths. They did everything they said they would with professionalism and courtesy. I do highly recommend them!

Called Thanks a Lock, had a need to replace all our locks asap (due to security risk). Locksmith came within 15 minutes to our house, locks well changed in another 30 minutes. Locks work smoothly. Professional and polite. Highly recommend.
