He showed up exactly when he said he would (which is rare these days) and knocked out multiple keypad lock installs without any issues. Everything works perfectly.

* This post is updated on day two with pictures. A dispatcher called me today to ask about my…read moreservice. I explained it was terrible. She stated she was sorry to hear that but that's as far as the call went. She asked me how much I paid. No idea where she was calling from and no attempt to resolve the issue. I have now spent a couple additional hours on this second day attempting to resolve the terrible installation. Most important is that the locksmith stated that the deadbolt didn't require the strike plate on the door frame because "it locked just fine without it". The strike plate is one of the most important pieces of the deadbolt system. It's secured by 4 screws, 2 of which are extra long to make it more difficult to forcibly break through the door. When I checked the second door I observed that the wrong strike plate was installed on that door. ---------Original post below------------ I just had the worst experience. I purchased 3 sets of Kwik Key lock sets with deadbolts including an electronic deadbolt from Home Depot and informed the contractor when he called me after receiving my contact info from the 911 or 24/7 locksmith main number. When the installer arrived, I showed him the lock sets and the 3 doors. he promptly began working on the first door. He didn't explain or comment about any door or door frame conditions or possible lock set compatibility issues. He began to attempt to cut the hole for the deadbolt. After about 10 minutes of using a hole saw on the first door, he stopped and said you have a metal door it will be $250 for this door. no price given prior starting work so I was now stuck with having him continue the work. He really struggled cutting the hole into the door. Metal capped doors are very common so this shouldn't have been a surprise or be difficult. He finally "completed" the electronic deadbolt install and then moved to the second door. I checked the first install door was getting stuck on the newly installed deadbolt and wouldn't open. I called him over to check it out and he wiggled the door and it finally opened. He then stated the door strikes were the wrong type and that he didn't have the tools to recess the door strikes which is a common step with changing lock sets. He also didn't secure the door strike on the door with screws so it was loose and it rattled when the door was closed. I ended up having to get my own tools out (Dremel) and recess the strike plate myself from the door frame on this first door and will have to remove the deadbolt to fix the strike plate on the edge of the door. i then checked the second door and he again comments after starting the door that they were the wrong types of locks. He also appeared to have taken metal cutters or a saw to trim the metal ring that goes around the latch and into the door. these are standard doors and frames. the lock sets were fine. Again, sawdust and metal chips and screws everywhere and he threw away the original lockset without asking. At this point with the first door partially completed (lockset hadnt been installed yet) and the second door that requires additional rework, I said stop. I didnt want him touching anything else and to pack up and go. He repeatedly stated I must pay him $500 for what he stated was two complete doors and he wouldn't leave. I offered $300 with the rationale, not the right tools, no review of the conditions prior to starting the work, sawdust and debris everywhere. Voices were raised and shouting back and forth continued and I finally relented and said I would pay $400 out of duress because he was refusing to leave and wanted to start uninstalling what he partially installed. He still wouldn't accept $400 until I told him I was going to call the business. He then said ok but only if I paid with cash app. Not all banks allow the use of cash app and I had never used it before so after trying 4 of my different bank cards, all of which are not acceptable with cash app, and therefore not being able to pay him via cash app I said there had to be another way to pay. He immediately pulled out the "square" for Apple Pay and said it would be a $50 surcharge to use Apple Pay. I finally got him to leave after paying $400 plus the $50 apply pay surcharge under duress. No receipt. I can't locate the business anywhere, the address linked to payment is a residential address and the name of the payee didn't match the name on the address. All info for 911 locksmith or 24/7 locksmith (it appears both names are used by the locksmith) there is no local company website and the parent website is very vague and there is no way to track it get company info other than using this yelp review. it appears that 911 locksmith and 24/7 locksmith is a nationwide shell of a company with a dispatch service that connects callers to local independent contractors. My specific experience was in northeast Ohio with a "locksmith" aligned with the address on this review.

I called around to some other locksmiths who quoted me fairly reasonable prices however, one locksmith recommended Ottinger and sons and said to ask for Jason. I called Jason and got an initial quote, which was very reasonable and called him back the following week to schedule an appointment. as I was talking with him, I realized he was at dinner with friends, but he was still taking time to make sure he got me on his schedule. I was more than willing to call back, but he insisted on making sure we got the appointment on his calendar. Jason called me the morning of our appointment to confirm and called me again that afternoon to tell me he was at one job, wrapping up across town and would be to my location quickly. He called as he was pulling up to tell me that he was there. I don't know how often locksmiths are that good at communication, but Jason was outstanding. Jason made small talk and got to know me as he was cutting the new key for my 2014 Chevy Malibu. The key needed a transponder and also required specialized equipment which Jason had in his truck. I don't even think he was at my house more than 15 minutes, but he felt like a lifelong friend by the time we were done. you can tell Jason is a motivated businessman. I highly recommend Ottinger and sons for mobile locksmith needs. Don't make assumptions about cost for a locksmith who comes to you. Call Jason and you won't be sorry.

I messaged Igor on Yelp a few days before we closed on our house to see if he would be able to come out to our house the day we got our keys so he could rekey our doors. He was super accommodating and told me to let him know when we were finally allowed in our house and he would come over. Fast forward to the day we closed, he stopped by at 4:30 pm and was extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. He had to rekey 5 doors in total in an almost 100-year old house. Not an easy thing to do! He was at our home for about 3 hours working away and we were grateful for his service and for allowing us to feel safe in our new home right away. As new homeowners who just dropped a lot of money during closing, we were a little sticker shocked at the total cost, but he was well worth it and he put in a LOT of time and effort re-keying our doors...so we expected to pay a little over $300 anyways. If you are a new homeowner and need to get your doors re-keyed OR if you just are looking for a friendly, reliable locksmith in the area, look no further than Igor. We will definitely hire him again should we need to! Thanks Igor!
