I was a little surprised by the price which is why I dropped a star. It was quoted a tiny bit high but still around the competition (most quotes came out to $180-280), but was completed higher than competitors in the end. That being said, I don't know if the actual price from competitors would have been higher than their quotes. For transparency here, I paid a $65 service fee plus $55 per house lock. The mailbox was a higher charge at $125. I was quoted $200-300 (probably assuming 3 locks rather than the 4 I ended up needing); it came out to about $410 plus tax. The result is the same. I have a fully rekeyed home and mailbox. Service was excellent. The vehicle was well marked and the Johnny was very professional and easy to work with.

Great Locksmith! had the guy at barneys come out and re-key my place after my roommate moved out without notice. He was fast and seemed to know everything about locks and keys. He was fairly priced I guess I have never done a re key before but it seemed reasonable, cheaper than buying new locks and stuff thats for sure. read more
