I locked my new electric bike with a kryptonite lock and could not unlock it last week at Walgreens in Anacortes. I called several locksmiths. Most did not answer nor did they return my call when I left a voicemail. One referred me to Bill. He returned my call almost immediately. He could not come that evening but met me the following morning. When we met he told me he had stopped by Walgreens to check out the situation with my bike. It took him about 15 minutes to cut the lock and he only charged $20.00! I HIGHLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend Bill if you need a locksmith or locks. He is extremely professional, works well within the COVID-19 guidelines, i.e. wears a mask, and is very reasonable regarding his rates. I have already recommended him to several friends.

I kept his name because he was good. He just helped us out by encouraging us to put both the front door and the back door on the same key, both deadbolt and lower. So, you just need one key for that house instead of for the backdoor, the deadbolt. It is a rental.

EXCELLENT! From the time I contacted Bill with my detailed research and questions about locks and other security measures, Bill was extremely patient and kind. He took my concerns seriously, did follow up and got back to me quickly, and answered my questions in detail (even before he came to do the job). He arrived on time for the job. He takes pride in his work and did an awesome job. He also helped me with another issue on another door and fixed it free of charge. I can't recommend him highly enough!

There really wasn't much fixing required. What happened before we contacted Bill for his expertise and services? Without giving away any information, the previous locksmith had quoted us a high price to fix the lock. What happened after we contacted Bill? Bill spent 5 mins and realized that the issue was not with the lock or the locking mechanism and that the lock was jammed because of a loose rosette. At every step he explained what he did so that we could figure out the issue the next time it happened. It was a learning experience and we got the issue resolved quickly. I would definitely recommend Bill and his team.

I recommend Bill’s Lock and Key highly and would certainly use his services again.
Description of Work
I had tried to obtain a keyless front door lock from another locksmith and was unsuccessful. I called Bill’s Lock and Key mid-afternoon on a Friday. Bill ordered the lock parts and installed them Saturday afternoon. He was prompt, professional, and efficient. During the installation, he found problems with the previous lock installation, which he fixed at no extra charge. The total charge was less than the previous locksmith’s quote for the parts only.

Everything went great! Bill showed up on time (even called to say he could come a little early!). He finished the work within about an hour and did an excellent job. He provided me with three sets of keys at no extra charge.

My experience with Bill was excellent from start to finish. My initial call was to inquire about having the deadbolt set changed on our front door. I planned to purchase the set and have someone else install it. Bill said he was happy to do the work to replace it and offered to reviewed photos of my current set to give me guidance on what I should be looking for as a replacement. I texted him two pictures and he responded immediately letting me know my options for an easy replacement. We then made an appointment for 2 days later to have the new lock installed. Bill arrived just before our scheduled appointment and was totally professional. He got right to work and carefully installed the new set. The new set is amazing and works a thousand times better than the old set. We should have done this years ago! Anyhow - Bill was amazing and I highly recommend him.

Bill was extremely responsive to communication ahead of the appointment, easy to schedule with, and quoted a very reasonable price. On the day of, showed up punctually and did a wonderful job. He installed new deadbolts and box strikes (I had already purchased the parts myself in advance), took the time to do a careful, neat and clean install, answered our questions, and made extra keys. The final cost was actually slightly LESS than the initial estimate. Couldn't possibly be happier with his work. Strongly recommended!

Bill was punctual, professional, knowledgable and personable. After rekeying the locks that I had initally called him about, he took time to also look at and fix the interior door knobs of many doors that had been a nuisance for years. I would absolutely recommend his services.

Bill rekeyed 7 locks on exterior doors and fixed 7 malfunctioning interior door knobs.

Bill was very friendly and helpful in answering my questions about rekeying our new house. He gave such good advise and suggestions to my issues with our door locks! Even though I ended up buying new ones from a retailer (per his suggestion talking himself out of a job but helping to save us money - very honest!) and installing them, I would definitely recommend him to others.

Bill answered an email request I sent out 3 days ago ( on a Thursday) and offered to come on a Saturday in the early evening. I had ordered three knobs on Amazon and wasn't sure if they would be here in time. He offered to call a half hour previous to arriving to check and see if they had come. They did arrive, and the whole job was done within an hour and a half. He also was very gentle and patient with my very large and protective dog, who is still learning to deal with strangers; even brought treats to charm him with.
Description of Work
Removed three old doorknobs and installed three new ones. One of the knobs and its mechanism were actually preventing its door from closing at all. Two of the doors required re-boring.

Bill is excellent! I would hire him again for any lock and key needs. Highly recommended. Extremely professional, courteous, and personable. Showed up a couple minutes early for the appointment to change a couple locks on two doors and noticed that the original installation was not installed correctly for the highest security. Very reasonable in explanation. Luckily, I had saved the parts needed to fix once he asked. The work was a bit more labor than originally estimated. Blew me away how great the service was. At the very end of the job, he asked if there was anything else, and I out of curiosity asked about another door that had a different lock and I wasn?t expecting to change, but to my surprise he was able to make keys for this door no extra charge. Cannot recommend him enough.

Bill did an excellent job! He was courteous, professional and cleaned up the shavings from the drilling that he had to do. He was early for our appointment, but called ahead to make sure that it would be ok for him to come early. I would hire Bill in the future, should we need any more work done.

I didn't end up needing Bill's assistance, after all. However, he will be the first person I call if I need this type of work done in the future.
Description of Work
Bill was great and very professional. I needed to replace a couple of deadbolts and rekey my other locks. He suggested that although he would be happy to bring a selection of deadbolts with him, if I wanted to go to Home Depot and purchase the new deadbolts, I could save some money over buying it through him. His price was also very reasonable as compared to other businesses I called.

Bill is wonderful! His professionalism is top notch. He was very kind to all of our residents and the quality of his work was impecable. He even finished ahead of schedule and as a result refunded us $1000.00 off our original bid. No job is too big or too small. We would never consider using anyone else after the excellent job that he did for us. We wish all vendors that we hire could be more like Bill!

Bill was very quick in returning my Angie's List message and provided multiple times to meet my scheduling needs and even an alternate vendor recommendation if his times didn't work. He was prompt and courteous, did an excellent job and even fixed a lock that was out of alignment without additional charge. Excellent experience overall.

It would have been a shame and a pain to replace with a modern item, and fortunately Bill knows his stuff and was able to fix it on his first visit. A true craftsman and engineer, Bill is the man.
