"I left a voicemail for Paul explaining that the vault door was jammed and that my staff and I were stuck at our Army Reserve Unit until we could get someone to come fix it so we could close and arm it. Even though it was 1800 hrs when we called, he had not only responded, but started travel to our location by the time he did. It was no more than 20 minutes between the end of my voicemail and the minute Paul pulled into our parking lot. Paul is a true pro. Polite and professional through and through, he didn't even complain when we told him that we weren't able to let him see the vault combination (obviously unorthodox, but hey, we are still the Army.) Instead of being insulted, he found a very creative way to put our combination holder's mind at ease without a word of complaint or protest, and even took some extra time at the end to provide us some maintenance tips to avoid requiring his late night services again."

Customers say: Quality work

"My husband has done business with them in the past and he's always had good things to say about their work but their customer service sucks. They are very rude and don't care anything about someone making a report against them. One of the old men driving a maroon truck from their store tried to hit my vehicle because he blew through a stop sing. Before blowing through the stop sing he was driving like he was drunk, swerving all over the place. When I called to report him I was told they would handle it. When I asked for the old mans name Kathy got on the phone and said, "Mind my own F***ing business. We don't have to tell you sh**", and then she hung up on me. Sounds like to me the whole lot of them need to give up the drinking and close their doors."

Cost factors vary but may include your location, the urgency of the request (emergencies typically cost more), and the complexity and size of the job. With many homes moving from standard mechanical locks to smart and electronic security and locking systems, locksmiths may charge more for the expertise and equipment needed to do the work required by these systems. 

Yes, many locksmiths can usually program a key fob for your car. The cost for car dealerships to replace lost or stolen key fobs can get expensive. Alternatively, check with a local professional locksmith to review your options and prices. 

Typically, it’s cheaper to rekey your existing locks than to install new ones. The cost to rekey ranges from $80 to $160, while the cost to change locks ranges from $50 to $200, depending on the type of locks.
