I wanted to update my review based upon further great service I received. Also after having read…read moreit a year later, I could see room for improvement. Amazing service! I highly recommend these guys. This locksmith is the only honest one who anyone seems to know about in Winnipeg and was highly recommended to me by others who had used the company. I'd heard about their integrity and skill by word of mouth, which is why I called them first. I hired A-Affordable to install indoor locking doorknobs in the doors of two rooms in my house. I also purchased the locking doorknobs from them. I spoke on the phone to a locksmith there by the name of Jeff. He gave me a quote over the phone for a great price. While the prices were great, what most impressed me was this man's honesty. I had at first asked him about having two fingerprint locks put in. He explained to me that he had no problem selling me the locks and installing them for me, if I wanted them, but advised me against them. He explained that they were not only costly, but often prone to malfunction. He told me that he frequently has to attend to calls to open or repair malfunctioning fingerprint locks that have locked out their owners. I hadn't done my research on fingerprint locks and if he wasn't the honest guy that he obviously is, he very easily could have upsold me two costly locks that I didn't need and would have been disappointed with. He suggested a really practical key lock door knob and I purchased two of them from him along with installation. When the locksmith showed up at my place he introduced himself as Jeff. So I was pleased to get the same locksmith I had spoken to on the phone. Jeff was very punctual arriving at my place right on time to do the installation with my new locks in hand. He even had the courtesy to phone me 30 minutes ahead of the appointment time, to let me know he was on his way. He was extremely polite and came across as a very courteous and likeable fellow. He worked very carefully yet remarkably quickly with an obviously practiced hand. He deftly removed the old doorknobs and installed the new locking ones on the doors of each of the two different rooms; lubricating and meticulously checking all the components as he installed them. I really appreciated how careful he was not to damage or scratch anything. He very patiently answered every question I asked him as he worked. After the locks were installed he double checked each of them to ensure they were working correctly and tested each of the keys. The locking doorknobs he sold me are very high quality and extremely sturdy, whilst also being highly attractive. They were exactly what I was looking for and he chose them based solely upon my verbal description. His quote on the phone was a total price of $150 for everything: 2 locking doorknobs (each one with 2 keys, so 4 keys total), he set up each of the two locking doorknobs to use a different key at my request (each lock needs a different key). The $150 he quoted also included all labour. In the end, the grand total for everything actually came to less than quoted. Somewhere around $140, after tax. If you need a locksmith, don't pass these guys up, as they really are one of, if not the only, honest locksmith company in town, who are also genuine, professional locksmiths. There are many locksmith scams going on right now all over Canada, including Winnipeg. A very large number of locksmiths and locksmith companies are both corrupt and incompetent. Most of them don't even own lock picks. These other, dishonest locksmiths usually charge you a huge callout fee, then, after they show up, tell you the that your lock is either too new or too old to be picked and must be drilled out (destroying the lock); which they do. The reason that the dishonest locksmiths want to drill out your locks is to destroy them so that they can charge you several hundred dollars for new locks and their installation. After my previous positive experience with A-1 Affordable, I am going to be hiring them again to open a couple of lock boxes to which I have lost the keys. When I called them and inquired about the particulars, they told me that these lock boxes wouldn't be any problem to pick and that the process wouldn't cause any damage to the boxes. I'm happy to have found these locksmiths, as opposed to one of the fraudulent ones, who would more than likely drill the locks and destroy my lock boxes. Now that I have found a highly skilled locksmith who possess both genuine credentials as well as honesty and integrity, I know I'll be using A-1 Affordable from now on!

Dakota Lock and Safe Review:…read more Horrible experience: 1) said they would arrive between 11am-12pm--40 minutes late... no one calls to notify 2)did not indicate that i had to show proof of ownership of house before they would do any work...wasting my time as i showed up at my rental property with no proof. 3)asked for 3 locks to be rekeyed out of 4...they assumed and rekeyed the wrong one. 4)asked specifically for 9 keys...they made 4. Those are the facts, what was most disappointing is the the owner decided to recreate his own narrative and and wasnt interested in making his customer happy when i suggested that they go back and do what i asked at no further charge...put the blame on the customer and wanted nothing to do with making things right... Saying sorry means absolutely nothing unless your willing to go above and beyond , whether its giving a discount or canceling a charge etc... oh and what made it even better is that they charged me $178 and when i asked for a discount Lexx replied that she already gave a discount but when i picked up my invoice it showed full charges...so she tried to deceive me as this transaction was done over the phone....I was very angry about this... dustin the service guy thought i should just accept him being late as "it's just part of the industry" ...Lexx dropped the ball in not asking the proper questions in taking the order and then trying to deceive me but Don the owner was the most unprofessional as he had no interest in understanding or acknowledging the bad experience i had, and threatened to take me to the credit bureau if i did a charge back on my credit card...which is exactly what i did.... He clearly pushed the idea upon me that i am just one customer and since he's been doing this for 30 years that he would be fine if walked away ...well that maybe so but i will fill up all the noted review sites with this experience...everything i said is the truth and i will not use these guys again...hopefully they can improve in the future.

The entire experience was a pleasure and I will never look further if I need a locksmith again. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable and polite (even when I asked them a million questions!)

Cannot recommend these guys any higher. If I could give 10 stars I would. Dakota Lock and Safe are Rockstars. Keep up the good work!

The first time, they reprogrammed the system, but the problem returned less than a week later. When I called, I was told the technician had misinformed me about a free follow‑up and that the system wasn't originally installed by them. I was advised to replace the system, which I did. On July 28th, they came again because the new system stopped responding to the devices. The technician said I would be charged because the door was in manual mode. When I called the office for clarification, the operator transferred me to a supervisor who spoke to me in a condescending manner and told me to "shut my mouth" while I was explaining the situation. He ignored my questions and used unrelated examples instead of addressing the issue. This level of service and communication is unprofessional and unacceptable.,

The technician completed the work without first calling to provide a quote or get my authorization, even though I am the property owner and the one responsible for the cost. When I received the invoice, the price was significantly higher than what multiple local Winnipeg garage door companies charge for the same repair. Only after I questioned the invoice did they offer a small discount, but it still remained well above typical market rates. The work itself appears fine, but the lack of transparency, no prior approval, and pricing that felt excessive made this a frustrating experience. I would not use this company again, and I would recommend that other customers insist on a written estimate and approval before any work is done
