I wanted to update my review based upon further great service I received. Also after having read…read moreit a year later, I could see room for improvement. Amazing service! I highly recommend these guys. This locksmith is the only honest one who anyone seems to know about in Winnipeg and was highly recommended to me by others who had used the company. I'd heard about their integrity and skill by word of mouth, which is why I called them first. I hired A-Affordable to install indoor locking doorknobs in the doors of two rooms in my house. I also purchased the locking doorknobs from them. I spoke on the phone to a locksmith there by the name of Jeff. He gave me a quote over the phone for a great price. While the prices were great, what most impressed me was this man's honesty. I had at first asked him about having two fingerprint locks put in. He explained to me that he had no problem selling me the locks and installing them for me, if I wanted them, but advised me against them. He explained that they were not only costly, but often prone to malfunction. He told me that he frequently has to attend to calls to open or repair malfunctioning fingerprint locks that have locked out their owners. I hadn't done my research on fingerprint locks and if he wasn't the honest guy that he obviously is, he very easily could have upsold me two costly locks that I didn't need and would have been disappointed with. He suggested a really practical key lock door knob and I purchased two of them from him along with installation. When the locksmith showed up at my place he introduced himself as Jeff. So I was pleased to get the same locksmith I had spoken to on the phone. Jeff was very punctual arriving at my place right on time to do the installation with my new locks in hand. He even had the courtesy to phone me 30 minutes ahead of the appointment time, to let me know he was on his way. He was extremely polite and came across as a very courteous and likeable fellow. He worked very carefully yet remarkably quickly with an obviously practiced hand. He deftly removed the old doorknobs and installed the new locking ones on the doors of each of the two different rooms; lubricating and meticulously checking all the components as he installed them. I really appreciated how careful he was not to damage or scratch anything. He very patiently answered every question I asked him as he worked. After the locks were installed he double checked each of them to ensure they were working correctly and tested each of the keys. The locking doorknobs he sold me are very high quality and extremely sturdy, whilst also being highly attractive. They were exactly what I was looking for and he chose them based solely upon my verbal description. His quote on the phone was a total price of $150 for everything: 2 locking doorknobs (each one with 2 keys, so 4 keys total), he set up each of the two locking doorknobs to use a different key at my request (each lock needs a different key). The $150 he quoted also included all labour. In the end, the grand total for everything actually came to less than quoted. Somewhere around $140, after tax. If you need a locksmith, don't pass these guys up, as they really are one of, if not the only, honest locksmith company in town, who are also genuine, professional locksmiths. There are many locksmith scams going on right now all over Canada, including Winnipeg. A very large number of locksmiths and locksmith companies are both corrupt and incompetent. Most of them don't even own lock picks. These other, dishonest locksmiths usually charge you a huge callout fee, then, after they show up, tell you the that your lock is either too new or too old to be picked and must be drilled out (destroying the lock); which they do. The reason that the dishonest locksmiths want to drill out your locks is to destroy them so that they can charge you several hundred dollars for new locks and their installation. After my previous positive experience with A-1 Affordable, I am going to be hiring them again to open a couple of lock boxes to which I have lost the keys. When I called them and inquired about the particulars, they told me that these lock boxes wouldn't be any problem to pick and that the process wouldn't cause any damage to the boxes. I'm happy to have found these locksmiths, as opposed to one of the fraudulent ones, who would more than likely drill the locks and destroy my lock boxes. Now that I have found a highly skilled locksmith who possess both genuine credentials as well as honesty and integrity, I know I'll be using A-1 Affordable from now on!

Dakota Lock and Safe Review:…read more Horrible experience: 1) said they would arrive between 11am-12pm--40 minutes late... no one calls to notify 2)did not indicate that i had to show proof of ownership of house before they would do any work...wasting my time as i showed up at my rental property with no proof. 3)asked for 3 locks to be rekeyed out of 4...they assumed and rekeyed the wrong one. 4)asked specifically for 9 keys...they made 4. Those are the facts, what was most disappointing is the the owner decided to recreate his own narrative and and wasnt interested in making his customer happy when i suggested that they go back and do what i asked at no further charge...put the blame on the customer and wanted nothing to do with making things right... Saying sorry means absolutely nothing unless your willing to go above and beyond , whether its giving a discount or canceling a charge etc... oh and what made it even better is that they charged me $178 and when i asked for a discount Lexx replied that she already gave a discount but when i picked up my invoice it showed full charges...so she tried to deceive me as this transaction was done over the phone....I was very angry about this... dustin the service guy thought i should just accept him being late as "it's just part of the industry" ...Lexx dropped the ball in not asking the proper questions in taking the order and then trying to deceive me but Don the owner was the most unprofessional as he had no interest in understanding or acknowledging the bad experience i had, and threatened to take me to the credit bureau if i did a charge back on my credit card...which is exactly what i did.... He clearly pushed the idea upon me that i am just one customer and since he's been doing this for 30 years that he would be fine if walked away ...well that maybe so but i will fill up all the noted review sites with this experience...everything i said is the truth and i will not use these guys again...hopefully they can improve in the future.

The entire experience was a pleasure and I will never look further if I need a locksmith again. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable and polite (even when I asked them a million questions!) I spoke to a 'Don' (I think his name was) and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, was gracious and even did a follow up to ensure I was satisfied with the entire situation. Cannot recommend these guys any higher. If I could give 10 stars I would. Dakota Lock and Safe are Rockstars. Keep up the good work!

Scheduled a date and technician arrived right at the beginning of the window of time they gave me.

It took a couple of hours and I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price charged. Unequivocally recommend this firm.

The serviceman who came to look at the problem opened up the mechanism, walked in and out of the store a couple of times, while on his cell phone with his office and half an hour later I received a call from the office. I was told that the parts would be $300-$400. I told this person(Roland) that my parts were on warrenty. Would I be able to get the part #'s. Oh he didn't know the parts all of a sudden. How did you get the quote then? I now had a service charge of $150-$200 though. After I expressed shock to the high rate of a service call, Roland threatened to take me to court and hung up on me. He called the next day where I agreed to pay a minimum charge $120 for the service call. Thought it would be done there but he continued to try and insult the company who installed it saying that they wereinexperienced, I guess because they have a service call charge of $45!!! Maybe they should be called Illegal Locksmith for their tactics of extorting monies from small business owners. You picked the wrong woman to screw over this time. I had a feeling that the small metal clips weren't worth $400??? That's right, they were $26 a piece for 4 of them which ended up needing to be replaced.

All Canadian Renovations was the one I went with. they were not the cheapest quote I received, in fact they were the highest of all three - but only by a few dollars. I chose to go with them mostly because of the two owners that showed up for our initial meeting. They were professional, respectful, and put my wife at ease with their humour and witty banter. my wife is a white knuckle renovator and is nervous about everything. After less than five minutes, she was totally at ease. Our kitchen looks fabulous and we spend more time in here than ever and we have even rediscovered our love of cooking! The crew that worked on our project (and there were many of them over the job) were professional, polite, and felt like members of the family - we were sad to see them go on the last day! The attention to detail was evident from all crew members. I don't want to single anyone out, because they were all awesome. Way to go All Canadian! highly recommended!!
