They were mostly over price and they didn’t show up on time. It was not good service. They got right back to me, they just weren't good at what they did. It was probably the tech. They were a little late but they called. They weren't horrible.

Response from Blue Dolphin Locksmith
Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry, I'm not finding you in my system as a past client. I see that your address is in Naples and that is way out of my service area. Can you provide me any information on the job that was done for you?

Blue Dolphin is an old school ideological business. They are dedicated to the customer. Our experience began with a phone call appointment that met our needs exactly. Brent arrived punctually, proceeded to introduce himself, and get acquainted with us. We discussed the project, and Brent provided cost savings recommendations. The work was performed expertly. Brent certainly takes his craft seriously and ethically. It was refreshing to work with Brent as clearly was his goal was to provide "Customer Service"! This was actually an enjoyable experience and a "breath of fresh air". We have very high standards when it comes to home services, and have to say this was of the highest quality. We recommend them with our highest regard. If you are in their service area and you do not choose Blue Dolphin you are doing yourself a disservice.

I was closing on our home and needed all the key locks changed out in a limited window of time. I called blue dolphin locksmith. Brent answered right away I explained my situation he replied without second thought he could make the appointment and be done at the time needed. Being over a thousand miles away it was a piece of mind knowing the job was done right and efficient.

Everything went wonderful. I called and was given an appointment about one hour later. Brent arrived on time.. Repairs were done at contracted price without additional cost for the cleaning inside of lock. He spent at least 20-25 minutes extra making it work freely. I highly recommend him. And everything was done without Brent knowing until he left that I was going to rate him on Angie's List.
Description of Work: I had locked my keys to my shop inside the building and could not find my spares. Brent came out and picked the lock, cleaned inside the mechanism so it operated freely (I did not realize I had a problem until I discovered how freely it operated with rust removed) and rekeyed the lock so it operates on the same key as my garage.

I called Brent at about 9:45am to inquire about an appointment. He said he could be at my home at 11:00am. He arrived early, I showed him the doors that needed to be rekeyed (he even suggested rekeying the interior door of my garage) and then he went to work. He was pleasant, performed his duties quickly and efficiently, and even offered to remove the locks from my lanai doors that the listing agent for my new home neglected to do after closing. He offered me my new master keys on the spot and even included an additional key for free. I will certainly contact him on future occasions for which I need a locksmith's services. I cannot express how pain-free he made the process. I recommend Brent wholeheartedly and encourage everyone to take advantage of the deal ($105 for the rekeying of seven locks). It is particularly helpful for new homeowners like myself.
Description of Work: The provider rekeyed seven locks in my newly-purchased home and created a master key that would open all of the newlocks.

What an outstanding, responsive business man. I called him inquiring about getting a matching lockset for one of our exterior doors. He responded immediately, asked for a picture sent via IPhone of the type and color handle we wanted to match, and texted me immediately back that he would be at our home within 2 hours. He arrived promptly, was very courteous, neat, and careful and our lock was done about 20 minutes later!
Description of Work: He replaced a regular door handle with a locking one.

Very genuine, sincere, friendly, polite, and very respectful. Asked me questions, valued my opinions, and never talked down to me, or over my head. I have used Blue Dolphin services three times now. Extremely trustworthy, and worth your vote of confidence. The gentleman who came to my home did the job right (the first time!) And did the job exceedingly well! He cut all the extra keys I wanted from his work bench within his van!!! Thank you Blue Dolphin. I pray you prosper in all you do!
Description of Work: Graciously went above and beyond the call of service to assist me in feeling safe and secure. I am a handicap woman, and the service man extended me his hand when walking outdoors to inspect exterior locks.

He did not have the lock for the garage so he had to return after it was ordered in a few days later. He only charged $50 for one trip to our house instead of two.

He suggested a much cheaper way of changing just the interior of the locks rather than the whole lock. This was for safety reasons following a divorce. It saved a great deal of money and gave peace of mind.
