Princeton Locksmith

When the Princeton Locksmith technician arrived over an hour later, he just looked at the doorknob and said that it would cost $170 to open the door as "he was a professional and that was the weekend rate". I smiled because I know that I can replace the entire door for $200 dollars. I am a military wife and my husband has taught me the value of what it costs to fix things so people won't take advantage of us when he was away on active duty. Therefore, I told the technician from Princeton Locksmith that he can go home because there was a discrepancy in price. The technician from Princeton Locksmith then wanted to strike up a deal to see what I was willing to pay. It appears that Princeton Locksmith subcontracts their services and the prices are not aligned with the field technician Sub-Contractor who shows up at your door. I don't know how other customers feel but I value transparent business practice with up-front pricing. I told the technician from Princeton Locksmith to go home and I will call another company. I contacted Accurate Locksmith Service located on Nassau Street, Princeton (609-924-3736 or 1-800-426-6736) and was told that it would cost $75 dollars to open the door and a technician would arrive in 45 minutes. A technician, Henry, arrived at my apartment in 30 minutes and opened my door in less than 10 minutes. Henry did not do any damage to my door but in fact noticed that my deadbolt was not aligned properly and also fixed this problem. Henry from Accurate Locksmith Service charged me $75 and I chose to tip him an additional $25 dollars for being an honest man who has integrity. Therefore, if you live in the Princeton area and get locked out of your car or home, call Accurate Locksmith Service directly (609-924-3736 or 1-800-426-6736). Oh when I asked Henry how he learned to be a locksmith...he said the US Army. Now it makes sense why Accurate Locksmith Service, who has technicians located in Princeton, has been servicing the Princeton area with honor for more than 25 years.
