Darrell is amazing! I was in the middle of a mess with my short-term Airbnb rental I manage…read moreremotely. My 4 month old expensive Schlage Encode Lock broke when my renters were in the unit. Even the backup keys would not work in the lock. I called a 24-hour lock service off Google. They solved the immediate problem, but refused to put on a keyless lock, so I paid dearly for a temporary situation. The renters left and I had 48 hours to fix the situation correctly before the next renters came in. I needed to find a locksmith expert, my go to person to fix this situation. I found him!! I went to Yelp and, thank goodness, I found Darrell. I called him after normal hours and he picked up live and said, "Don't worry, we got this covered." He told me he loved Schlage Encode Locks and broken one is a real fluke. He wanted to see the original damaged one. Bottom line he was out there with a brand new Schlage Encode lock installed, ready to go within 48 hours and he knew exactly what was wrong with the old lock. He took a couple if pictures of the broken lock so I could return it to Schlage for a free replacement. I might add that he also repairs locks and he could have repaired it for a reasonable fee, but given the situation I'd already ordered a new one. He even noted that our kitchen window screen had been removed, left on the ground outside and bent where the renters had to crawl out a window to get out. Yeah this lock situation was bad! Darrell took a picture of the screen, bent it back into shape and put it back in the window for me. I might add that I am also so impressed with Schlage the manufacturer. They wanted the old lock back after Darrell's assessment due to the seriousness of the failure of the lock. They did send a brand new one out free of charge, too late for me, but it is now my backup. Bottom line Darrell is awesome! His follow-up, his expertise, timeliness and accessibility is 5 star. In addition, his prices are so reasonable; reasonable to the point that I told him to add more money to the bill! Thanks Darrell!

Son called them to get keys out of locked trunk of an old BMW. This company must have subbed out…read morethe job to Florida Lock and Key - for some reason, probably because they couldn't do it. The other company couldn't either, but they came out and charged $200. They wouldn't have if I was there - or at least they wouldn't have been paid. Both these companies give this business a very shady reputation. This "skill" isn't worth $200 a day much less the 5 minutes it took the jerk to get in the car, only to then tell my son he can't get in the trunk. By the way, I came out after leaving work and figured out the way to get in from YouTube. $200 lesson that should have never been learned. Charge me a fee for coming out - or better yet, find out what the situation is ahead of time and if you know you don't have the tools, knowledge or skill to complete the job, then let the customer know.

I ended having a new lock installed for an other $60 the next day by some else. I spoke to the manager on 11/3/23 Ray, I think it was his name. He said: "my door couldn't get opened because it had an antilock braking system." I had installed exactly the same lock which has not an antilock system (see photo attached). This was not a mission impossible task. In fact it is the cheapest lock you can find at any local hardware store and easy to maneuver to opened. LESSON: do not call a locksmith, just brake it, drill the lock and install a new one, way cheaper!
