I expected to have the lock replaced for the advertised price, but was told that the price was for a different service. I was not happy about that, but the service man worked with me and we came to an agreement.

Someone damaged my lower door knob on my front door. The deadbolt still worked so it was not an emergency, but I wanted it fixed promptly. I called and made an appointment. The locksmith showed up right on time. I had to purchase my own locks since I live in a townhouse association and they have to match the other doors closely. The locksmith told me that the replacements were of better quality than the old ones and he did an excellent job installing them. He was professional and courteous. The old deadbolt was smaller than new one so he had to drill a larger hole in the door. He made sure that I knew how much everything would would cost ahead of his doing the work. I appreciated his honesty. I will call them again if I ever need work done.

overall, experience was good, prices were reasonable, though the dispatcher did not state that their would be a service call fee of $39.00, ouch.
Description of Work: reconfigured pre-drilled holes on garage steel to fit my new Schlage dead bolt and installed bedroom door lock per my request. i appreciate that he improvised to fix fitting on garage door to save me money. he could've scammed me by pushing new parts i didn't need, but he didn't. i asked him if he could install another lock for my bedroom door which wasn't on his dispatch order. he took the time to look into my request, called his boss to confirm to perform this work, and he did. upon completion, door locksmith did honor Angieslist coupon and cleaned up after himself. this guy is good, really good.

I had originally given this company a "C" for professionalism and overall experience because we had called ET Locksmith to do the work on the front doorknob but, after the work had been completed, discovered it had been done by Non-Stop Locksmith. I felt that I had researched and hired one company but the job had been performed by a different company. About a week later I was checking ET Locksmith on the Better Business Bureau website and found that they and Non-Stop Locksmith are actually the same company. I notified Angie's List, and a few hours later got a call from Simon, the owner of ET Locksmith. He also explained that ET and Non-Stop are now one company (with ET specializing in security systems and Non-Stop in working with locks, if I understood correctly). He was super nice and extremely professional, apologized for the confusion, and Invited me to come have keys made at the Non-Stop location at his expense if I ever needed them. He also answered my question about requiring the customer to sign a disclaimer on the invoice--now I understand the purpose of that disclaimer. I really appreciated his making a personal call to explain everything. To briefly review the actual work (which I reviewed under Non-Stop Locksmith), Jake spent a lot of time investigating the problem with the doorknob and tried to fix it with materials he had with him. He determined that a longer shaft was needed and had to go back to the office to get one of the proper length. He returned with the shaft, had to find screws that fit, and was finally successful. He only charged us for one hour labor, although he had spent longer than an hour (not including his trip back to the office) and didn't charge for the part. The service call fee of $45 and the labor charge was entirely reasonable. And the doorknob works! So I am now competely satisfied that ET Locksmith is an excellent company and, even better, cares about its customers.
Description of Work: The doorknobs on our front door kept falling off; we kept screwing them back on. Finally it got to a point where we could screw them back on but the outside doorknob wouldn't work so we couldn't get in the front door from outside.

Well after all - they stand by their work.
Description of Work: After the 1st visit there I experienced problems with 2 of the locks. The technician came out and fixed them but had to charge me. He did offer a discount and said to follow up with the manager. The manager actually called me and refunded my account for some of the charges.

I was unable to get into my detached garage this morning, so I called for lockout service. The technician, Shai, was there within 30min. He examined the lock, and determined it was completely broken. Based on that, he cored the old lock and replaced it with a new cylinder. He took the time to make sure that the new cylinder fit my slightly older deadbolt lock. Given what he had to work with (an older garage entry door in at best passable condition), he was able to get the work done quickly and without any issue. I was very happy with the service and would recommend ET Locksmith without question.

We lost our key to our rooftop deck. I called ET Locksmith and they came within 2 hours. They provided an original quote over the phone and explained additional pricing if they had to drill the lock (which they did). They gave me an estimated time of arrival for the locksmith. He was right on time! While the locksmith, Joseph, was here, I added additional work to the scope by having my front door lock rekeyed and matching both locks to the same key. Joseph was very willing to do the work and was extremely professional. I'm glad I called ET Security.

It went very quickly, only about 1/2 an hour.
Description of Work: ET Locksmiths and their locksmith Chuck are simply amazing. We have a six-unit condo building. One of the owners skipped town, beginning a long process of foreclosure. In the meantime, as winter approached, we had no contact from the owner's bank and had no way to know if there was heat to prevent the pipes from freezing and leaking. So at the advice of our lawyers, we decided to enter the unit to investigate. Chuck, the locksmith, arrived right on time and was extremely personable and professional. He had the lock opened quickly and created a key for the abandoned unit so we can continue to monitor the situation. In fact, Chuck is used by agencies such as the FBI to open the residences of suspected criminals. If the FBI trusts him, what more can you say? I would HIGHLY recommend ET Locksmiths to anyone who needs there services. They are, hands down, a remarkably and distinguished company. After he finished the job, he handed me a bill for $144. I thought is was a tremendous bargain.

There were some problems that appeared with the lock's operation a few weeks after initilal installation. I'm fair in my dealings with others and understood that machinery doesn't always work exactly the way we expect. Well, Joseph and ET came through for me. They were very responsive and scheduled a return visit based on my availability. Joseph was very professional, made the necessary repairs/adjustments to the new lock and advised me on maintenance routine going forward. Of course there was no charge. It was a pleasant experience dealing with him and his company. The lock works smoothly, better than it had before. I would highly recomment ET Locksmith to others.

ET responded very quickly, as my husband had locked us out of our bedroom. We asked that ET change 3 locks because they all had different keys and we lost the key for all of them. Istvan came out quickly, one hour after I called (this was a Saturday night at 5 pm). He worked quickly and re-keyed all of the locks and put together the one that was picked apart. They were fast, efficient and a reasonable price.
