Fradon Lock sent a repairman within the hour! He was very professional, diagnosed the problem, made recommendations and disassembled, cleaned and reassembled the lock so it will work while I decide what to do.
Description of Work
My key had stuck in the front door lock. Although I finally removed it, I called to have the lock checked.

Work went well. We were offered a reasonable choice of inexpensive and higher-quality locks. Technicians were punctual, competent, and quick. Only problem was they didn't have the equipment to clean up their sawdust. A cordless vacuum cleaner would be a great addition to their toolkit.

Fradon Lock sent a locksmith the same day. He managed to get the safe open, then took apart the mechanism and lubricated everything. They were very quick, knowledgeable and professional and everything is back in working order. Price was very reasonable considering he had to come to the house and spent about 45 minutes working on the safe.
Description of Work
We have a 30 year old safe that we hadn't accessed in a year or two and the dial had become frozen (could barely turn it to enter the combination, and could not get the safe open). Needed to have the safe opened and repaired.

He programmed the fobs fine. I opened them up and saw the keys. He cut these keys for me and charged me, that was fine. When I got home to check the door keys that's when I found out he cut one of the keys with the wrong blank. I drove home and tried using the keys and noticed it was cut wrong. Then I returned back to the store. When I returned the man who waited on me originally said what are you doing back, said you cut the key wrong! After waiting around another guy points at me and said you're next. Told the guy he cut the key wrong. He barks at me and says give them to me. Trying to keep them separate and show the key and it fumbled as I have bad hands, amputated fingers, dropped the key on the counter and called me an a****** and told me to drop the attitude. Then he belittled me once I was able to grab the key and he said "See! I knew you could do it!" I was turning red. I was furious. I said look I don't like you swearing at me. He said "Well, sometimes you gotta talk to a dick that way." All I was trying to do was explain that I didn't throw the key and show him my hands and that's when he called me a dick.

They were immediately responsive, arranged to come quickly, came early (which was awesome as I'd told them I had a tight schedule and had to be able to leave for work by 9:15 that morning) and completed the work quickly. The keys worked great and the men who came were friendly and pleasant.

Rick arrived promptly - job was complete within 15 minutes. Felt the price was a little steep for the service and length of time spent on the job and the cylinder wasn't as tight as I would like but Rick assured me that it was fine.

. Talked with 2 Hondla dealers first. Was told by one that for their service man to even look at it, there was a minimum charge of $96 - which is one hour of labor. And then there would be the added cost of fixing, replacing, whatever was needed, and whatever labor would be needed. Called a second Honda dealer who was willing to look at it for free. He studied it and said that they couldn't fix it. They'd have to break the glove compartment and then replace it, and it would be at least $200 - $300. Asked him if taking it to a locksmith might work. He told me it would be worth a try. Started calling locksmiths. Most do not do automobile glove compartments. Called Fradon. They told me to bring it in so that their automobile specialist, Christine, could check it out. She worked with it awhile and then came back holding the lock, and showing us how the latch was broken. She ended up ordering a new lock through a Honda dealer, and it arrived the next day. She installed it and that was that. Wonderful service by a caring professional!

My dad had purchased a safe at an auction years ago and has never been able to open it. We contacted Fradon . They would come to his house or we could bring it in to work on. |We took it in to save money They had to drill it to get it opened as the dial was broken. . We would definitely do business with them again.

Working with Fradon Locks was a fantastic experience. The gentleman was great - he was personable, professional and very helpful. He showed up right on time, helped me figure out the many different locks in my new house and did a wonderful job changing everything out and fixing an issue we found with the front door knob and dead bolt. I highly recommend and will definitely use them again if I ever need a locksmith.

I called Fradon Lock Co. on a Friday to get an estimate and schedule an appointment. They were able to schedule an appointment the next Monday morning between 9am and 12pm for services. They called at 9:15am and arrived at approximately 9:30 (since I had requested they come early if possible since I had a lunch meeting). After showing them the locks, they finished the job in ~10mins with the three copies of the keys I requested. The two gentlemen were professional and efficient. I would call Fradon Lock Co. again as well as recommend them others.
Description of Work
I recently purchased a new house and wanted to get three locks rekeyed. Fradon Lock Co. rekeyed the locks and provided me with the requested number of keys that matched the new locks.
