Greg and Cora are the best. I tried every place to see if someone could fix my door, but everyone said it required special hardware and my best bet was to get a new door for $5000! The door was not locking properly and someone told me about Greg and Leading Locksmith. It was like a miracle and he fixed it in an hour. He had the hardware no one else did. I decided while he was here to see if he could change out the hardware on a couple of other doors and he just installed my new hardware, which makes the front of my house look beautiful. He is really good and everyone in my neighborhood is using him. read more

Greg came so quickly to help me when I got locked out of my apartment. He replaced the door knob very fast and made it so that the new doorknob fit my current keys. So I don't have to go get all new keys. 10/10 recommend. Thanks so much!! read more

Greg was friendly and very quick with the work, with a fair price and easy to communicate with prior to the work being done. Would highly recommend for locksmithing! read more

I can't say enough positives about Greg and his daughter. They came to our house twice to inspect the cheap door hardware our builder used and some issues we were having, and then to help us order better quality hardware from Emtek. Greg never asked for a service fee for those visits. Greg and his daughter were extremely professional and polite during the install, and made sure our house was as clean as it was before they arrived (even during the crazy rain we had that day). I highly recommend Leading Locksmith for your next job! read more

Craig and his daughter were great! They were very professional, responsive and friendly. We were able to get an appointment immediately.Once an appointment was established, Craig communicated when he was slightly delayed and continued to communicate when he would arrive. When he was onsite, he and his daughter were quick, efficient and completed the work in a relaxed but professional manner! I'd highly recommend him for any locksmith work you may have! read more

Greg was great- he really knows what he's doing! Our contractor did a poor job of installing door handles and deadbolts on our front door and garage entry door. We had to push or pull the door with one hand while turning the deadbolt with the other hand. Greg came out and replaced one deadbolt and did a lot of tweaking and adjusting to get both door locks lined up properly. He was very thorough and pleasant and insisted on vacuuming any debris that was left from drilling. Price was fair for the amount of time he spent. Highly recommend! read more

I called Greg yesterday. He came today with his daughter. Our gate control boxes had rusty keys and werent sitting propoerly. Not only did he make me new keys and clean up the locks, but he fixed a broken door to the gate box at the same time. Just honest and ethical, professional and pleasant. I recommend them to anyone! read more

I used this guy to change all the locks to one key in my entire home. He was on time to his appointment very flexible scheduling and thorough! So I hired him back to do the same to my business.

I called the guy in what I expected to be off hours, he came right over to help me 20 minutes later. He also gave me a special key so I wouldn't get locked out of that room.

What a mess I was in returning home after I few days away - my house keys were returned to me in the mail by a friend. Envelope opened keys gone. Based on a recommendation from someone who has used this service I called. Had a call back in a relatively short time. When he arrived, inspected every lock - was very efficient. Made a recommendation for my security - different lock on garage door. I was totally impressed with his ability, kindness and efficiency. He is A#1 in my book and very few earn that rating from me . read more

I've been remodeling, repairing and rehabbing my old wooden house for 5 or 6 years now. I've dealt with just about every type of contractor and handyman over the years. Some of the experiences have been great and some have been...well..."learning experiences". Dealing with Greg has been one of the best experiences I've had in hiring a home improvement repair professional. I had around 20 locks that needed attention. Some lockable areas needed to be accessed by workers in my house, some only by me and my family, We discussed the idea of using lock boxes but Greg figured out a method of re-keying the locks in different configurations so the house became secured but with portions still accessible to workers. I was very happy with the result. Before Greg started working on my house there were also a number of locks that didn't function well for various reasons. Most of them had been installed by handymen and weren't working well. Some doors had sagged and the deadbolts weren't working or weren't working without a fight. Some locks had worn out. Greg went around the whole house and yard and fixed everything. All the locks work perfectly now. We feel much more secure in the house. The price was fine...reasonable. One thing I've learned...it's obvious but I had to learn it from experience...is to hire people that know what their doing. Don't let your handyman do electrical work, tiling, or lock installation. For matters dealing with locks hire a licensed locksmith. And next time I need a locksmith, it'll be Greg again. read more

Greg helped me install some new doorknobs and keypad deadbolts. He did a great job and cleaned up the area really well. Prior to that, I he took the time to discuss what I needed done - and the best way to go about it. He made recommendation on the locks that I should probably purchase - based on my goals, and also the use cases. As a locksmith, he really thinks about how to keep your home safe, but also makes recommendations to ensure that you don't accidentally lock yourself out. I really appreciated that. What stood out the most to me was that when it was time to review the invoice - I actually counted higher number of line items. He then explained to me that it was one less, because he re-keyed off the first one, etc. I appreciated the transparency, and his integrity. Because that is probably the most important trait that you should look for in a locksmith - Integrity. read more
