What a RIPOFF! They charged me $415.30 LABOR ONLY to install a front door handleset that I had purchased separately. Chuck was at the house for exactly 47 minutes, including 5 minutes to write up the invoice. That's $530.17 PER HOUR!. Even if I include the 20 minutes travel time from their shop to the house and back, that's still $371.91 PER HOUR. OUTRAGEOUS!!! read more

Quick and efficient! We had same day locks changed at a business and they were great. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable

What could be worse than locking yourself out of your home on a cold Sunday evening? Not having a dependable locksmith you can call. Lucky for me, there's Hunterdon lock & safe. They came within 20 minutes, and were able to create a key for my door right in their truck. Special note: if you have your original keys, take pictures of them with the numbers on them and then it's easy for the locksmith to quickly make a key. Luckily, I could call my husband who had those keys and he could cite the numbers. Highest reviews for getting me in out of the cold quickly. Thank you so much! read more

Gorgeous lock shop. Worth the drive as not too many like this one. And yes they do housecalls. Have had locks installed, job held up for years. Keys cut. Lock cleaning advice. Call to check before you go as they do get emergencies. Great to deal with too. read more

I had a problem with a garage door lock (actually, 2 of them)... of course, on a weekend. I called Hunterdon Lock & Safe, and spoke with Jim, who, besides being knowledgeable about the kind of lock it was, asked "Do you need this done today?" If I'd needed it fixed that day, he was willing to mess up his weekend and help me! When I said, "No," he said, "Good! Then I won't have to charge you out-of-hours prices." We settled on the next business day. He was there a few minutes earlier than he'd said, and was able to figure out and fix both both locks. I was lucky to have found Hunterdon Lock & Safe... they (well, I only talked to Jim) were knowledgeable, competent, and willing to help! read more

There are many places to purchase a lockset. There are even some installation choices, if you are not up to doing it yourself... and it's not easy to do it properly. Jim Green and the entire team at Hunterdon Lock & Safe are total perfectionists. This is very evident just looking at the property of their shop, the cleanliness of their store, and the knowledge and expertise they provide. When they have done work at our home they have been fair in their pricing and generous with their information. This past weekend Jim even loaned me a tool, to help me with a decorative doorknob installation... and he didn't even sell the doorknob to us! Hunterdon Lock & Safe have an excellent selection of locks, wall safes, and other door-related products. We sleep better at night knowing we are protected by their services and products. My family and I highly recommend Hunterdon Lock & Safe. read more

We live in very old home with original skeleton keys, not the safest and finally agreed that we needed do an upgrade. Talked to two other locksmiths first who told us we needed to get new doors and frames. Conversation ended right there. A friend told us to call and ask for Jim. We set up a time to visit their showroom, picked out some new/old looking locks, placed our order and two weeks later had nice new locks and our original period doors and frames. Thanks Hunterdon lock! read more

Brought in a Thule car roof box with a key broken off in the lock. They expected to be able to extract it and immediately sprayed a "lubricant" into the lock and told us they'd call if/when they got it out. After several days I called to see what was up and spoke to a very friendly gentleman who said it was being stubborn but he'd get more info and call back . He did ask if I had tried to glue the broken key back together because, apparently, people do that. I said no (which I truly hadn't...who would ever think that would work!?) and he told me there was some kind of gunk in the lock causing trouble. A few hours later, a got a call back from what sounded like an older gentleman who said they couldn't get the key out and blamed much of the trouble on "whatever the liquid is poured down the side of the case." I told him I absolutely put nothing in the lock, liquid or otherwise. He seemed disbelieving. I then asked if there were any alternative fixes such as drilling the lock but he wasn't interested. When my wife went to pick up the case, she immediately saw the "liquid" the gentleman mentioned...she described it as looking like silver spray paint on the lock. She asked what it was and, again, the gentleman insisted it must have been from us...that their lubricant does not stain. My wife insisted it was not dropped off like that and he just shrugged. I'm only giving them two stars because at least they didn't charge us for the labor. read more

Great fast service. Nice guy. They are the place that you trust your locks to. If you can't find parking in front, you can park behind the store.. if no one is in the store, they are out on service calls read more

I had a semi-urgent need for help with a deadbolt and called Hunterdon Lock & Safe this morning for a quote and to try to make an appointment. I expected that they might have something available in a week or so. However, after hearing about my situation, Jim got on the phone and explained that he wanted to fit me in on his schedule the same afternoon. He arrived right after I got home from work--just a few hours after I called--and immediately started on the job. After about twenty minutes, everything was done and my problem was 100% fixed. Jim was very friendly, efficient and professional. I am extremely pleased with my experience with Hunterdon Lock & Safe! Thank you! read more

Great fast work. Came next day and did above and beyond a great job all future needs with locks an doors these are the guys!!!

My first experience with Hunterdon Lock and Safe is proving a delight - head and shoulders better service and pricing than decades of experience elsewhere from Fort Lauderdale to Fort Lee. Due to COVID, I can view the store from the front window and open door only, but what I see are the finest and most intriguing locksets and hardware. This is where I would go were I looking for fine decorative door hardware. But at my age, all I needed were a few Baldwin cylinders re-keyed. Jim is treating me as if I were his most valued customer. He quickly and perfectly re-keyed 2 cylinders. I've one more to take him. He showed me an interesting nuance I never knew about key-on-key deadbolt systems, how they're made, and an industry trick to install them. I'm a do-it-yourselfer. He didn't have to do that, but he did. I'm pleased with his service, his hardware array, and his pricing. He's a great old-fashioned professional artisan. I took such a liking to him and the way he runs his business, I'll no longer visit a big box store even when I want just a brass screw or "Master Padlock." I feel as I've made a friend and supported my local small business. He offers more than I can find at Lowe's or Home Depot. After all, if I get locked out at midnight, who am I going call: Home Depot or Hunterdon Lock and Safe? I've purchased "locked out" insurance I can't get elsewhere and made a friend in the process. read more

I recently needed to find a new locksmith to use in town. Jim is old-school locksmith who is extremely personable and customer focused. You're not going to get the cheapest price you could find, but the quality of service is worth every penny. read more
