The locksmith attempted to program the key twice before informing me that it is not compatible. Luckily, he had a key made for my car with him. However, the price was similar to car dealerships. I would still choose this locksmith because of convenience and pricing (much cheaper if I had the right key bought on my own).

On February 21, 2025 at 11:03 a.m., I contacted A1 Affordable Locksmith and was informed by the…read moredispatcher that a technician would contact me shortly. At 11:19 a.m., the technician, Israel (443-218-2637), called me. He provided a price quote and an estimated arrival window. He arrived within that stated time. When he arrived, I was unable to locate the key. He advised that he could still complete the job. He removed the lock from my door and stated that he would return within 30 minutes. By 3:00 p.m., he had not returned. At 3:41 p.m., I contacted Israel. He stated that he was in traffic and had to go to two other locations but would return in 30 minutes. After that call, he did not return and did not answer additional calls. I then contacted A1 Affordable Locksmith and was told that a manager would return my call. I called again at 6:39 p.m. and was given the same response. At 7:12 p.m., I contacted Israel and informed him that I no longer wanted his services and requested that he return my lock. He stated that he had taken another job and was 13 miles away. After additional unsuccessful attempts to resolve the matter, I informed Israel that I would contact the police. He responded that this would not be necessary. I then contacted Anne Arundel Police, who documented the incident and contacted Israel directly. Israel returned to my residence at 9:09 p.m. He stated that traffic and other jobs caused the delay and offered a partial apology. As a result of this situation, my home was left unsecured for several hours. I was without my lock for most of the day, and I had to involve law enforcement to resolve the matter. This experience was unprofessional and unacceptable.!!!! I am requesting that this matter be reviewed and addressed appropriately. No customer should be left without a secured door for this length of time.

I just wanted to get 'er done and didn't compare prices so I'll leave that to you! He did say that some locks cost more and take longer but mine was just a plain lock from Home Depot. I declined the offer to replace the lock (did that myself). Mainly docking 1 star for saying 20 minutes on my initial call, but taking an hour, and I feel like the price was high but I didn't compare (if $230/hr is normal, I'm switching careers).

He spent one hour and we were charged almost $900. However, he did meet our basic requirement: to defeat any one who had made an copy of our door keys and tried subsequently to enter the house.

Also, they're replacing the two rugs affected by debris (normally a drop cloth is used). As a result, I'm updating the rating to 4 stars. CONS - Sticker shock for labor $1135; no clean-up of metal or wood shards, chunks; late arrival. $95 service call fee in addition to flat rate fees for work: $350 install bedroom deadbolt + another $195 to replace its knob ($545); $195 each to replace deadbolt/handle sets on front & patio doors; $100 each to replace knobs on 1 closet & mudroom door. Labor $1135+ $95 fee. Arrived 9:50 for 9am appointment. He was unable to rekey mudroom lock without a key so I had to buy a lock on the spot $50. The bedroom deadbolt I'd bought had a problem so I needed to buy a set $100 + the extra $195 labor. I felt a great deal of confusion regarding several problems with fit that he had to overcome. The replacement lock/handle sets I provided were new Schlages to replace old Schlages but the doors are old ?? One of the fit problems required a 45 minute trip back to his shop. 3 hours of labor became 4.5 hours - 9am-1:40pm vs. 9:50-10:40; 11:30-1:40pm. I was dismayed when I discovered the mess of metal shards by the patio door - we have a dog & I run around barefoot. Ditto the wood chunks. I can't think of the last time I had a repairman in who didn't clean up his work area. PROS - Most of the labor was verbally defined once he arrived & before the work began. I should have asked about pricing when making the appointment or taken advantage of the free estimate advertised. I based my trust on Yelp reviews that mentioned fair/competitive prices. (I'm not usually so trusting.) I could have stopped right then - gotten the free written estimate & followed up with quotes from other locksmiths to determine if these labor rates were competitive. The finished work looks good & performs well. The locksmith was professional, polite and tried to explain what issues he was facing.
