In Spanish, there's an expression that says "que te cayó como anillo al dedo." This literally translates to "[it] fell like a ring to the finger," and idiomatically it means that "it came at the perfect time." That right there is how I feel about Jim. I'll explain. I had bought a property in December, and in January, I found myself repairing the house. As I was reviewing what needed repairs, I found out that I did not have a mailbox key. I called my realtor and she had no luck contacting the seller's realtor, so she suggested I go to the post office. I did just that and they told me to hire a locksmith. At any rate, in all this, my realtor recommended a locksmith to me, but they happened to be closed that day. If you know me, then you know I have no patience and that I want things done ASAP. Also, I hate leaving for tomorrow what can be done today. And well, the issue in all this is this happened on a day that some people have off as a holiday: Martin Luther King Jr. Day. So, here I was on a day I had off, hoping and praying to find someone open, so I could cross this off my to-do list and feel productive and I Googled and Yelped and found Jim. Jim was extremely responsive, reasonably priced, and he changed the lock on that mailbox so quickly that it left me speechless. His professionalism is unparalleled and I'm not the only one that noticed. Neighbors were already getting his card as they also have mailbox key issues, and here we are, months later, and I'm hoping they hired him. As for me, if I had not had someone else do my house keys, I'd have hired him. Apparently aside from those, and mailbox keys, he does car keys, and I had hoped to hire him to make a copy of my car key, as I only had one, but alas... I wound up getting a new car instead. Still, anything key-related, Jim is your go-to. Also, he speaks a bit of español, so that's a win in my book. This isn't Miami where I was born and raised, so finding someone who appreciates my background always brightens up my day. read more

I reached out to a few local locksmiths one Sunday night due to the bottom lock on our garage freezing up on us and locking us in. Jim responded quickly and let me know when he could arrive first thing the next morning, noting he could arrive sooner if needed. Due to traffic, Jim was delayed a few minutes but kept me posted prior to his arrival. The latch was deemed the issue, and a discount was given because Jim originally thought it was a more expensive issue than it ended up being. I appreciate honest folks, and let Jim know I would be reviewing him for all to see. I hope I will not need one, but if I need a locksmith in the future, HQ Locksmith will be the company I call first. read more

Have used them a few times and could not be happier. Super responsive, quick service and very reasonable. Highly recommend!!!

Had the unfortunate experience of getting locked out. Another company was unable to get the door to unlock after 2 hours of trying. JH showed up- on time- professional attitude, all the right tools and a solid trained demeanor. He really knows his professional and there is no point in having another company train their employees when you are needing to get into your home. Seriously he is the guy to hire! Polite, professional experienced! I would call him again and recommend him without reservation! read more

My mother locked herself out of the house at 11:25 pm. He was at her house by 11:40 pm. I live in Tacoma WA and could do nothing to help. Before he arrived, she fell and couldn't get up! He was so sweet to her! He helped her up and got her back in the house, safe and sound! I can't tell you what that meant to me! The price was excellent as well!!! read more

I couldn't recommend Jim enough. He's professional, trustworthy, and provides exceptional service. He helped me when I was locked out of my old apartment late at night and was really in a bind. He showed up very fast and fixed the problem super quick. His kindness and helpfulness still stick with me two years later. Sadly, I've since moved away from Tallahassee, but if I were still in the area, Jim would've had my business for life! read more

Can't say enough about Jim! Very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable! He went above and beyond what we hired him for and not only replaced our lock (upgraded to code and key lock), but made sure it was working fluidly, including making an adjustment to the dead bolt entry point, which I am certain, other vendors would not do in this case. I absolutely recommend him for all your lock needs!!!! (no, he did not pay me to write this ad, and I have never met or used him before today, but will for all future related needs). :) read more
