Tom was punctual and professional and did a great job on all the locks.  I would absolutely hire him again.  Most of the cost was the price of the new deadbolt ($60) that was the same brand as the one already in my door, which he told me about beforehand. He said that I could go with another cheaper lock if I wanted, but I elected to stick with the same brand that was there originally.

The locksmith was awesome. We called him the night before and scheduled a next day appointment for us for our new house. He arrived on time, had all of the tools to do all of the work we required on site in his van. Re-keyed all of the locks in the house (including the storm doors!) to one key for us. We had also purchased a reproduction knob with backplate which he installed for us, as well as swapped out a Jimmy lock and bored new holes for the new deadbolt's backset. He was really professional, did a great job, cleaned up after himself, and for the ton of work he did he was really reasonably priced!! Can't recommend him enough. As a matter of fact I've already recommended him to friends whom are in the process of buying. Great job.

I called Tom Monday morning with this problem. Recognizing it as a small problem, he squeezed in a visit to our house less than an hour later, opened the locked door, removed the offending cylinder so the lock wouldn't get accidentally locked again, and was done in less than 30 minutes.

It was great, he arrived about 15 minutes early and called to let me know he was there.  Looked at all the locks to be replaced, asked me how many different keys we wanted and then went to work.  He comes with all of his tools and worked expeditiously.   Very professional and courteous.

We had Tom's re-key the locks on all the exterior doors when we moved in. They showed up on time and did the job quickly and efficiently. They re-keyed several kind of locks for us (on regular doors, sliding doors and fence gates) and were able to make different locks work with the same key to make things simpler. The price was very reasonable.

I called and left voicemail, which was promptly responded to within a couple hours. Set appointment for two days away.
Tom was about 15 minutes early and called to see if he could come in. Took apart antique-style lock and doorknobs, concluded it was better to replace cylinder than try to evaluate/fix problem of keys sticking. Went back to his truck, got cylinder and cut keys. He came back and I asked him to look at doorknobs which have given us trouble over the years. He pulled them out, evaluated them in close detail, and concluded (after showing me) that they were worn down and should be replaced. In both cases, I expected the parts to be replaced so nothing was a surprise.
He was at my house for 45 minutes and was very efficient, total cost was $92. He's not the most talkative person in the world and gets right to the point. If you just want your locks taken care of, this is the guy. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.
