My car was stolen and there was a house key in the car. We needed the keys changed THAT DAY. I called and they said they could have someone out there within a couple of hours. He called my husband, who was working at home. My husband said he was there when he said he would be, he was pleasant, efficient and there was no mess when I came home (other than my husband's!). The locks work better than they did before. The price was less than half of what I expected, but I would have paid whatever they asked at that point. I would use this company again and recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Changed all the locks in the house on the outside doors.

Chuck rekeyed the locks on my new home. He also replaced strike plates and installed a bolt for added security. He made suggestions to increase the level of security that I can do on my own. He was pleasant and informative. Will definitely use him for future needs.

Everything went quickly. Ben was punctual, very professional and nice to work with. I would use LockGuard again.
Description of Work: I was house-sitting for my daughter and thought I'd broken a door lock because I couldn't get it to engage. Ben came right over this afternoon. He said it wasn't broken - - just operator error. He instructed me on the correct way to lock the door. He was extremely nice and said things like this happen all the time. I had just felt so stupid for not being able to figure out the locking system. He said the handle/lock system did need some tightening and he performed that service. He only charged me for the service call less the Angie's List coupon. Wow! What a great guy.

ions from him about licks.Ben just came 30 min after I called, and started working, and used his own a small part which is missing from the lock I bought. He finished very fast and I used coupon and saved the money, and also got some valuable suggestions about safety locks. I like him.
Description of Work: I called them for emergency front door lock change, because I unstalled the old ones already and found out the holes are too small and I could not do it myself this time. Ben came 30 min after I called him, he is professional, and did very good job with a very good price.

It was a very good experience. The set up was quick, the worker was on time, and the job was done professionally. They extended the good service by adjusting my bill after the job because my wife forgot to mention the coupon we had. I was very appreciative of that.

They work is very well done and everything looks great. They took the time to explain a variety of options and showed me color samples where relevant. The serviceman was very polite and shared with me his recommendations and even greased some of my squeaky doors. There was one door that has gotten a little warped with time and he came back to adjust some of the settings to help the lock function smoothly. They returned calls promptly and were very professional. I was highly pleased with all aspects of their work.
Description of Work: They re-keyed the entire house and garage, added several deadbolts, replaced some door knobs and door fixtures, installed a secure key-box, and added some security locks to a door that leads to the basement.

Arrived on time and did everything I wanted. So I have no complaints about the service, but the cost seemed like a lot compared to other people here who said what they had done and the cost.. I never got any other quotes and I never even got a quote from Lockguard, I just had them come out and do the work.
Description of Work: I needed a front door lock changed and two other external doors needed new keys, plus a filing cabinet was missing a key. He asked if I wanted an extra secure front door lock package, which was an additional $50 (approx) which I did add.

Hello Member, Sorry if you were surprised by any pricing. We do have set prices, so there are no made up costs. Anytime that locks are sold, the price will add up a bit. Also for future reference, I generally want the customer to ask the prices so that an approximate total is known beforehand. Thanks

Arrived on time, good communication, did an excellent job on the locks themselves. Even fixed a couple of issues with my front door lock for no extra charge. The fee I paid included a service fee for my area (north metro). Did not include hardware, which I purchased separately. Was well worth it to get a company that I didn't have to worry about.
Description of Work: Had new deadbolt installed on garage entry, rekeyed front and rear locks.

Gary answered the phone after 6pm when I called him with an emergency situation and needed a locksmith. He was very nice to work with and was sympathetic to the situation I was in where a renter had destroyed our house while my husband was out of town. He was able to set up a meeting time the next afternoon right when I needed his help. He then worked with my schedule to go back to the property 2 days later. He explained the cost up front and did a good and thorough job. We plan to hire him next week to change all the locks once more for us. We have never needed a locksmith before but Gary has made us loyal customers when we need one again in the future.
Description of Work: He opened up a rental house where the locks had been changed, switched out a doorknob (which he had picked up for me) and then adjusted the door so that it closed properly. He made a new key and is currently working on obtaining a door handle to repair a french door handle that was broken off. We will have him back next week to change out all the locks.

Ben was extremely responsive from answering my email in regards to an estimate to providing service at our new home. He arrived on time and worked quickly. He was professional, knowledgeable and provided great service. One of our locks was broken on our unique front door upon Ben's arrival. Since he didn't have the part in his truck, he ordered it and gave a call back the same day to set up a time to come back out to install it. We will definitely use Lockguard again. Nice work!
Description of Work: We had 6 doors rekeyed at our new home.

Would definitely use again at home and on my commercial projects too! Very knowledgeable, helpful and prompt. Initially left phone message to request info/pricing for two new deadbolts. Received a prompt call back with pertinent questions about what type of work to be done. Ben, the locksmith, suggested that if the old locks were in good shape, that he could simply re-key the locks. A much cheaper alternative. One door never had a deadbolt so that needed to be installed. He cleaned up the existing deadbolt on the other door and installed a stronger striker plate on the doorframe.
Description of Work: Installed deadbolt on inside garage door, cleaned up the existing deadbolt on front door, reinforced the existing striker plate, re-keyed all with same single entry key including door handle lock.

The locksmith was very professional. You could tell that he was very concerned about doing a good job and making sure everything was secured. I had a garage door that need some work to get it aligned. He gave me some good advice on what to do with the door and what locks I could use now. He definitely took his time and made sure he did a good job. I was impressed with his attention to detail. I would definitely use this company again!

I called that morning, and received a call for service that afternoon. Ben was very knowledgeable about the problem. Although he didn't have the part he needed, he was able to make my door function again until it was convenient for me for him to return. He even noticed a latch issue on my front door that needed some attention, so he fixed that, too, before he left. Excellent service! Highly recommend.
