Had a doorknob lock that was preventing the door from being opened without a lot of jiggling. Lockguard came out and fixed the problem simply by taking the lock apart and cleaning/adjusting the existing mechanism. Turned out there was no need to put in a new lock.

I called and arranged to have Lockguard come out this morning. They showed up promptly at 7 am which was the agreed appointment time. I showed them the new doors and the new door handle for the older door. I asked them to make 15 keys for us. I tested all new keys and they all worked perfectly. They re-keyed one of the new doors to match the other and then installed the new door handle and a new deadbolt on the older door and keyed to match the other doors. All work was very well done and cleanup left things perfect. I am very pleased and would recommend them to anyone. The price for the work was what I expected and was quite fair.
Description of Work: We had two new doors installed and one very old door lock on another older door. Lockguard re-keyed one new door, installed a new door handle and a new deadbolt on the older door so that all three locks used the same key. They also corrected a deadbolt problem on one of the new doors which was not installed properly. They made extra keys for us so we could distribute to other family members.

Ben showed up at the exact appointment time, 7:15am. He was courteous and efficient. Ben was very honest about what I needed and what I did not. He did not try to push any purchases on me. It took about 2 hours for him to complete the job, which was about what his guestimate was. Ben was upfront about the price before he started the work. Ben's work was very good quality. Before Ben came out, our garage-to-house door was a mess. The lock was misaligned and did not lock or close properly. After Ben's work, the door now works perfectly. The door locks smoothly and opens and closes properly. Great job all around.
Description of Work: Ben re-keyed all 4 of our doors and replaced a deadbolt on our gargage-to-house door.

Ben and his brother-in-law (apologies, I forget his name) came out late on a Friday afternoon to rekey my locks. They were very flexible with me on timing even on a summer Friday. Both Ben and his brother-in-law were VERY professional, efficient, and courteous. They asked whether they should remove their shoes before entering my home, which was polite. They quickly and efficiently rekeyed all requested locks (4 deadbolts and 2 passage locks) and also evaluated the security on two sliding glass doors and even referred me to a home security company at my request. They didn't try to sell me on anything unnecessary and the price I paid was exactly what I was quoted (and very competitive with other local locksmiths after doing quite a bit of research). I was fairly impressed with Lockguard and would use them again myself and recommend them to friends/relatives.
Description of Work: Lockguard came out to rekey my locks - 4 deadbolts and 2 passage locks.

He was prompt, professional and helpful. He could have sold me on new locks for all my doors, but he didn't. I was very pleased.
Description of Work: Examined existing door locks for safety, replaced one deadbolt. Lockguard was very honest and helpful. He thoroughly checked my existing locks for functionality and security and advised me that they were all adequate. I wanted a double cylinder lock on a door with a window, and after explaining the potential fire risk, he installed it.

Our steel entry door from the garage to the house was locked and we couldn't get it open even with the keys. My husband took the latch handles off, thinking he could fix it, but when he did he discovered that the locking mechanism was jammed into the door and wouldn't move. LockGuard came out expecting to replace the latches with a new one we had purchased. However when Ben got here all he needed to do was replace the dead latch which meant we could take the new set back to the store for a refund. He also loosened up the hydraulic closer which he thought was the cause of the problem. Ben was very personable and thoughtful. He asked if he should remove his shoes and in no time he had the problem resolved with a minimum of time and money.
Description of Work: A new dead latch was installed into an existing door.

Chuck arrived on time, and did a good job. He also gave me some pointers on how I could improve the security of my garage that didn't involve the locks. I'm very happy to now have 4 locks that operate smoothly with a single key.

Lockguard was very friendly, and great to work with, both on the phone and in person. He was on-time, and called ahead to let me know that he was on his way. Was able to troubleshoot it and fix the problem with parts he had in his truck. Turns out the manufacturer had sent me a part for a double-keyed lock, but I had a single-key lock. The shaft ''wiggled'' out of place, when trying to unlock the deadbolt, causing the deadbolt not to retract fully. There was no way I could've figured that out on my own! Even though it was a Baldwin brand lock, he was able to use Schlage parts, that he had with him to fix the problem. It works very smoothly now, every time. I was very pleased with their service and would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Had replaced a deadbolt lock myself (single key), but the knob (on the inside) was difficult to unlock properly. Called Lockguard (based on Angie's List recommend.) to troubleshoot why the deadbolt would not retract completely when unlocking it.

I spoke to Ben on the phone late afternoon to set up an appointment for the next day. He was polite and friendly. He said he would call me that day when before he would stop by. As promised, I received his call and he was at my door about 15 minutes later. He came in, had the door opened quickly, fixed the lock, and fixed the problem. Ben was great to talk to and had many ideas about how to make the door work in exactly the way we would want it to work (he offered to re-key it to fit other locks or even to disable it if we didn't want it to function as a lock). Overall, he did a great job, was quick, friendly and inexpensive.
Description of Work: Front storm door lock broken in the locked position. Lock was disassembled, door opened and lock reassembled. Ben also discovered what was causing the lock to jam and fixed the door to prevent this from happening again in the future.
