He was referred by our realtor and he is mobile. When he arrived initially the locks he got we changed our minds. He was patient and made sure we got what we wanted. He gave us options and explained the differences in the locks and we chose a brand he recommend. We also wanted them all to match and he was able to get them the day we moved all our items in. It was after 5:00 P.M. and he made sure he came and finished all our locks and doors so that we could feel safe in our new home. He was friendly, honest and is the owner, which we wanted to support local business. He is very knowledgeable in what he does, and we would definitely use him again not only for our house but cars as well. The price was fair for what we got. Support locally owned business.

Once upon a time this was a great locksmith. I had all my residential and industrial lock work…read moredone by them (in the store,) Then about 2008 things seemed to go downhill. There were new people running it who looked like a couple of Samoan guys and they couldn't get anything right. Even a simple dirt-common Schlage door key had to be brought back twice before it would work at all, and even then it was stiff. They told me a Chicago double-side key I needed a copy of was a "special" key which would cost $ 11 to copy. No it isn't. When I protested, they dropped the price to $ 6. Which is still a bit high. Several other Chicago keys I had copied, did not work. How can you screw up a key copy? I had to bring the entire locks back in and wait, while they fiddled with the locksets until the keys worked. But surprise...they didn't work the other locks which use the same key, when I got home! The guys running the shop joked "You should have taken it to a real locksmith!" No kidding. In their defense, since I had to come back multiple times to get a key that finally worked, they gave me a free copy. Which didn't work.
