I immediately called to see if they could come and help me with a door that wouldn't open, even though I had a key for it. They scheduled me for that afternoon. I got a call back from them and was that they would be there at 3 pm. They were right on time and Jeff fixed my problem in about 5 minutes. The handle on the door wasn't installed correctly. Now I can get into the storage closet with no problem. I HIGHTY RECOMMEND Ability Lock & key. If you need a locksmith, they are the company to call. On time, friendly and competent.

So I needed a locksmith - Normally I ask a couple trusted friends who they use but no one had a…read moretrusted lock guy. I had a large project with 11 doors and needed new mechanisms and 8 dead bolts placed. I looked around online and all of these sites pop up that look like lead generation sites or some companies had sites that didn't load fully. I decided to check out Yelp and even that failed me with minimal reviews. But I came across an ad for a guy standing in front of his work van - local number on the side - so I called. Brad quoted me a price over the phone based on my description. He actually even made some suggestions on mechanisms he could swap out versus buying all new lock sets. He did all of this without knowing my name. I called him back a day later and He had me send him pictures of my doors and code on side of key. He texted back in forth with me on my options - cost difference for different quality and what he suggested. He does not up-charge the locks and simply charges a $50 service fee and an hourly based on his time. He rushed to complete my job in a day after we had a break in. Brad is the guy in the pic and the guy that will show up to do your work. He didn't leave a trace of dirt and was able to fix a couple other lock issues by moving plates and cleaning mechanisms- a great guy and company to work with. Through his suggestions and hourly rate I actually saved about $300 in what I might have spent if I replaced all of my door handles versus just the mechanisms. Brad was polite and well mannered but most importantly he was honest and has spent his life as a locksmith. He took over his dad's company and stands behind his work. Since I had trouble finding a referral to a good locksmith in the area I wanted to make sure I left a review of my experience to help others. I would recommend this company to my family, friends and coworkers. I was happy to support a local company with minimal overhead costs knowing he uses his earnings to support his family. My wife was home with him all day while he did the work and she was comfortable having him in the house. When you have a guy installing locks to protect your stuff you want to trust him and feel secure afterwards - Brad accomplished just that.

Fun fact: this is not the first time I've locked myself out of my place! And I'd had trouble finding locksmiths in the past, so I was nervous that I'd be sleeping in my hammock overnight.

So I initially called the local lexus dealership who said about an hour wait & then a ridiculous $$$ for the key and labor (I'm a single mom w/2 small children-not going to pay half my mortgage for a dang key and wait an hour w/them there!). I ended up on yelp and came across discount locksmith & key. I gave Nick a call and the key was not only very affordable, but it's also a mobile unit that comes to your house (sooo convenient!). Long story short, I got a car key and a house key made in my driveway in less than 20 mins. If I would have known that this type of service was available I would have done this a year ago!
