I cannot say enough positive things about Lockman Security. Over the course of 6 months, I have had…read more3 different interactions with them...all good. The unusual part about them is the quality of this company involves everyone who works there. And I mean every single person I encountered and dealt with was wonderful. How rare is that?! I am going to start with my most recent experience which was by far, the most involved and complex. I am taking care of my Dad and he has 5 different caregivers. Recently the key to his double sided lock disappeared and I immediately knew nothing good was going to come from it. After contacting the police, I got in touch with Lockman Security whose owner my Dad introduced me to previously. I spoke with their dispatcher and made arrangements for changing the tumblers on the lock. After hearing my story, she suggested that when I had more funds available that I change the type of lock. I thanked her for her suggestion. A little later the same day, I called back and decided her suggestion was the way to go. Had I done what I wanted them to do, it would have been less effective and likely cost me more money in the long run, because I would have to do it again when they took the new key! Long story short, Lockman Security helped me secure my Dad's apartment and promptly end several issues I had with his caregiver situation. For example, I used to have to be there whenever a new caregiver was going to covering for his regular caregiver as he could not hear his doorbell . Now I can unlock the door for the covering caregiver remotely without needing to rush to get there before them. I still prefer to be there to meet them but it is wonderful to have the option of handling the situation differently in case I need to do so. He has caregivers that start at 9 AM and others who come 11 hours later. I used to need to be there for both time slots. It is not easy but it is necessary. The lock they installed, a smart lock has given me back control over my Dad's apartment and his safety, something in light of the Nancy Guthrie case, I do not take lightly. Since I sleep there during the weekends, I also now finally feel safe while there. Something I have not felt while there for a very long time. Security is more than just locks. It involves peace of mind and Lockman security knows how to deliver it and they do it damn well. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Lockman Security!

PBC responded fastest. They were also available immediately, which was great. The job was completed with no issues. The locksmith was very professional and easy to work with. I have to say, I can certainly see why they have an overwhelmingly positive reputation. Overall, five stars. I would absolutely use them again, no question.

I called Joe at PBC Locksmith, and he said he could be there in a half hour! He showed up just on time, was super friendly and really knowledgeable! The deadbolt was completely broken so he took that out and replaced it, and was able to just rekey the bottom lock. From start to finish he was probably done in a half hour, and simple payment through credit card. I will definitely be keeping his number in case any other lock emergencies should arise! If you need a locksmith, Joe is the guy for you!

UPDATE: Owner had called me after seeing review. Told me that on weekends the service charge is…read moreusually $120 but he charged me $80 because I was outside with my baby and he understands and can empathize with a single mother. Even offered to help me find a job after I told him how the cost was something I wouldn't have been able to afford had I known ahead of time. I let him know the website mentions nothing of service fees for weekend nor was it mentioned over the phone before anyone was dispatched. Hopefully they update that. Had I known I would've called somewhere else or found a hook to do it. 11-18-23 I called at 8:33 am due to having my keys locked inside of my house. They arrived by 9:0The only lock that needed to be unlocked was the door knob which is a fairly simple lock mechanism regardless. I had seen online that it was $35 and he told me that was the service charge, so I'm trying to understand how I was charged $80 altogether, all the guy had to do was stick a hook in the crack in the space that I had made and pop it open. Semms like a very easy job. So why was I charged extra $45?!? For a 3 second no labor job? Maybe because I'm a single mother stuck outside with a child they charged for my urgency?

A True Blessing in a Stressful Time…read more I am writing this with a heart full of gratitude. Recently, I dealt with the immense stress of having my car keys stolen while I was out shopping. When I called the dealership, I was quoted a staggering $700 for a replacement for my car--a price that felt truly overwhelming. By the grace of a friend's recommendation, I found my way to Smiley Fort Lauderdale Locksmith & Key Center, and I am so glad I did! They were able to provide a brand-new key and clicker for a fraction of the cost. They even offer a spare key (without the clicker) for just $50. I want to give a special thank you to Max. He treated me with such kindness and professional respect. It wasn't just about the keys; it was about the wonderful, honest way he conducts business. I left feeling empowered, relieved, and so very happy. If you ever need a key made, please don't let the dealerships discourage you! Go see Max. He is a master of his craft and a truly good soul. With love and appreciation, Rajee Narinesingh

Managing a project of this size is not easy, but Pro Locksmith delivered exactly as promised. We highly recommend them for any commercial access control, surveillance, or security integration project.

Avi reached out shortly after and was able to provide a quote with just a few details and photos. He showed up the next day on time and ready to work. He pointed out a few possible issues and worked to correct them. He was thorough and accurate in his service delivery. We accrued an additional cost when he advised that our back door locked should also be changed (so we wouldn't need different keys). This cost was justifiable and it didn't feel like an upsell at all. I think the value paid for his time and effort was very well worth it. I plan to use him again.

Second appt was rescheduled bc of an "emergency" the morning of the appt. which they only informed me about, after I called to get an ETA on their arrival time. Third appt, they sent just ONE person to install a 900+ lbs safe (which I disclosed to them during first discussion), who showed up and, big shock, had to reschedule again for another day. I wasted two days off of work waiting for an installation that never happened. I do not recommend this company. Find another company who is reliable and actual wants your business.
