Contacted this company to have 2 doors (3 locks total) re-keyed - meaning adjusting the locks to…read morehave 1 key work all three locks instead of 3 separate keys. I called them around noon on Feb 5, 2026. He responded and stated he could do the job for $225.00 and would arrive in 20 mins. One hour later, I sent a text to make sure he received my previous text. He confirmed and again, said I will arrive in 20 minutes. He arrived at 2:07 pm. I showed him the two doors with the locks and went about my daily activities. About 30 minutes into his visit, I hear drilling on my front door. When I went to see what he was doing, he had REMOVED both the deadbolt and the doorknob and was DRILLING into my door. At that point, he had drilled a larger hole in my front door and stated that his "foot slipped" in the sawdust and his drill bit dropped carving a significant gap that he said he could cover with a digital locking mechanism. . . At this point, he called someone to come help him with this disaster of a mistake to my front door. This man assisted him with installing a digital lock that was SUPPOSED TO BE BLUETOOTH but was not. He told me that since the major gash in my door was his mistake that he would not charge me for the digital lock since it will cover the gash made in the door. So now I have a much larger button code door lock (see pictures) that still did not cover the mistake in the door. THEN he charges me $280.00 instead of the $225 he initially quoted. The new lock requires batteries - which he did not have, so I had to make a trip to Lowe's for that... just a major cluster. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Keep in mind, all I wanted was the current door locks re-keyed... now I have to buy new double doors from my front entry.

He started drilling out the whole and made it too big. He tried to put his new locket in and it didn't fit (it wasn't even the right kind of lockset - he after the fact told us that he didn't have the correct one). He then sloppily put together the old lock and said that was all he could do and charged us $110. Left us totally hanging and now won't answer or return calls. Had to pay a "real" locksmith $150 to fix the problems this guy created. Run away from this service. Horrible experience.

So I used Yelp to find a locksmith in the area and Bryan responded in a few minutes with a price range. I then had him call me so I could explain the situation and he did and was very polite and said he could handle the situation; and he did!! He saved me a long trip and peace of mind and it wasn't too hard on the wallet either.

Rodrick is a MAGIC man! He solved my every life problem within a matter of 15 minutes of his…read morearrival! Honestly y'all, I called every automotive locksmith that services Livingston Parish and was at a stand-still due to the financial burden of losing my key fob. Case scenario: I set my only car key (on a bright orange lanyard) on the back of a pick-up truck and drove off unknowingly. So we can safely consider the thing LOST without hope for return because BELIEVE ME, I patiently prayed that it could be found somehow which was why I walked for miles up and down along Joe May Road, trying to catch a glimpse of the orange lanyard. Unfortunately, this situation was futile and I was unable to afford the most immediate options. I find it to be perplexing and upsetting that every independent locksmith is in a very similar price range as the actual Toyota dealership, an inevitable brick wall with only so much money to dedicate to my negligence. I spoke with Rod the day I called around and he informed me that if I obtained a new key fob of that particular kind over the internet, then he could do the service for almost half price of what all others were trying to charge me. So that's what we did. Together he worked with me by providing necessary information so I could manage to afford such a service. He is fair and reasonable, not to mention, a cool-cat most friendly character. Once the fob arrived in the mail, the ball was rolling with him. The service could not be more convenient and I am well-satisfied with the quality of work performed. THANK YOU RODRICK! May God bless all the angels here on earth !

I quickly realized that she did not hear me because I was more than six feet away from her. She demonstrated courtesy and professionalism throughout my time there. My uncle and I were seeking a copy of a desk key and at first she discovered that she had no blanks. She mentioned that another company may have it, but I stated to her that we were referred to Rolland. She took the extraordinary step and called the manufacturer of the key. She then was able to arrange it where the manufacturer would send my uncle two (2) copies of his desk key to his home for absolutely FREE. It doesn't get any better than that.

The thieves at Premium Parking illegally booted my car at one of their lots in the French Quarter…read more I simply changed my tire and put the tire with the boot in the trunk. The next day I took the rim with the boot still attached to Rolland Safe. My family has been using Rolland Safe to service our safes for many years and they have always done a tremendous job. If you need to purchase a safe or have a safe serviced in the New Orleans area, this is your first stop. However, I digress. I took my rim with the boot from the Premium Parking lot to Rolland. They removed that boot from my rim in under three minutes and only charged me $6. *Note to EVERYONE. A private lot immobilizing (booting) your private property is illegal. Yes, they can have your car towed off of their property if you are parked illegally or have not paid for parking but they CANNOT immobilize your vehicle. Simply remove the wheel and put it in your trunk, replace with your spare and bring the wheel to Rolland Safe to be removed for $6. If you have a drill you can remove it yourself for free however I like supporting the local economy.
