My front door is from 1978 and had the original hardware on it. The bolt was in bad shape. Instead of trying to sell me a replacement right away, the gentleman worked on it and really tried to get it to work. When he could not get it perfect, he offered me a new at a reasonable price and installed it for no additional cost. Was on time and professional.

I called the company this morning and my locks were changed this afternoon. Very professional service man, who even put shoe covers on before when entering my house! Work was done quickly and without any difficulty. I would highly recommend National Lock & Key.

We were pleased. They were timely and efficient. Everything was very good. I will definitely call them again.
Description of Work: I've used the big deal of National Lock & Key. We were having trouble with the lock on our front door so they replaced that for us. He was also kind enough to change the lock of the side doors so the keys would match. He did couple of extra services to come out of that price.

Service was professional and work done in a timely fashion. The contact on the phone had me purchase a 4-lock special plan, however the plan only covered changing out the lock chambers, not the entire locks and knobs so we had to pay more upon installation, but overall fine.

The work was excellent, the arrival of Manuel punctual, the fees reasonable. The company provided a bolt (although I had one, it couldn't be re-keyed so I bought theirs), installed it in short order, and the technician was cheerful, knowledgeable, courteous and informative as to what needed to be done. This was fist-rate service and I recommend them. Bill P.

The entire process with National Lock & Key made the experience very pleasant and got exactly what I wanted. National Lock's representative, Amber, was very responsive and understood my requirements. We were able to work out all of the requirements with a couple of phone discussions and emails. The result was a fair quotation of the work and hardware required. We were able to schedule the work at my convenience and National arrived at their scheduled time. The service technician, Andre, was an expert and he performed the work exactly and we discussed. He showed me the hardware that was selected and it was again exactly what Amber and I discussed and agreed on. Andre was extremely professional with his craftsmanship in all aspects of his work. He prepped everything to insure my floors and walls were protected while he performed the work necessary to prep the doors for the new locks. Andre cleaned up and let no trace of debris or damage. He performed the work within the time that he estimated and I am extremely pleased with the overall job and experience. Excellent Job National Lock & Key! Thank you, Ken Petrocelli

I had a great experience with this company. The woman who scheduled my service was very helpful. I wanted a price quote for the hardware which she provided quickly. I decided to buy the lock myself in the end but she gave me good advice on which one to get. The technician arrived when he was scheduled, was very professional, and gave me good instructions and tips on using the touchscreen deadbolt. He even sent me a link for a video tutorial. I would definitely use this company again.

Everything went perfectly. I called to schedule an appointment but realized I called before they opened, and left no message, planning to call back. They saw that I had called anyway and called me back as soon as they opened, and scheduled me for same-day service. The technician was punctual and called first. He re-keyed the lock with no problems, and left 4 key copies for us.

Made appointment for them to repair and rekey a garage door knob. Person who came said the coupon I purchased didn't apply because it was only for labor. I showed him the coupon which did not specify that it was only for labor. He called the office who said the best they could do was take $15 off the $35 rekey fee. The gentleman said that the lock was broken and to rekey it would have to be replaced. My issue with them is that the estimate had three parts, the service fee, the new lock and the rekey fee. They didn't offer anything off the $79 service fee, only offering to take $15 off the $35 rekey fee, essentially meaning I paid them $40 for a $15 discount. If I could get a refund for my $40 I would. Unfortunately it looks like it was the cost for learning not to do business with them ever again.

We are so sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. It truly seems to be a miscommunication, you bought a re-key deal back in June to be used to re-key a property but you said you will call us later. After 4 months your wife called to replace and re-key a lock without mentioning the deal. We overlooked to clarify with you if you were using this deal for this property or another property since this deal wasn't the best for replacing a broken lock. We understand you not being happy, but we do not agree to have an F for a misunderstanding considering we didn't charge you anything and you can get your refund from Angie's List. Also we have provided service for you in the past and you had a great experience with us, we will appreciate it if you change your rating, thank you again.

Hi, we took a look at your invoice and it seems that may be a misunderstood. You paid $79 for the discounted service call which is listed in the deal. The deal cost $40, so your total out of pocket was $119. You had 3 lock cylinders re-keyed and got an extra set of keys as well. Please give us a call if you need to discuss further, thank you again for your business.
