The technician came out and lock did not malfunction on his first visit. Paid service call and he told us if we had problems within a week we would not have to pay another service call. In a couple days it locked up again and would not open. He ended up coming back and replacing the bolt lock and were not charged another service call.

The locksmith arrived promptly, and was able to repair the lock in minutes by replacing the lock plate (longer screws) and drilling into the door post a little further. The locksmith was professional in his presentation and job performance, and provided an acceptable explanation for the lock failing (house settling). My only dissatisfaction is with the pricing. The truck roll cost $80, which I was fine with. The labor and supplies was an additional $40, for a total of $120. For a plate, 2 screws, and a few minutes of drilling, I didn't feel the extra $40 was fair. The total visit was less than 10 minutes, which would total about $240/hour for labor alone, which is unreasonable. Outside of the pricing, this was a great experience.
Description of Work: Fixed door that wouldn't lock properly.

Tommy arrived right when he said he would and went right to work. It is the first time we've used this company and we were so pleased. We feel like we got the A Team in Tommy. He really knew what he was doing and completed the entire job in no time. He was quick, friendly and really knew what he was doing. If we ever have need of a locksmith again this will be the first company we call. Very fast and efficient. The price was reasonable too! Keep up the good work!
Description of Work: We called in the early afternoon, Tommy gave us a time that he would arrive and do the work we asked.

The service was excellent from beginning to end. When I called to make the reservation, the representative was honest and informed me of a cheaper way to accomplish my goal. The gentlemen called before coming and was prompt. He was outstanding. He completed everything in a professional manner, was very kind, and didn't take a long time.

A Brooks Lock & Key technician answered the phone this morning, Veterans Day, verified that workers were on duty and said someone would call 30 minutes before they arrived. I waited more than 6 hours. Finally, when I called, I was given the excuse that the repairman was stuck in traffic. Then, after I explained that I still needed to confirm how much the service was going to cost since the confirmation phone call never came, I cancelled the job out of frustration. The office assistant on the phone this afternoon explained the original technician earlier that morning should not have answered the phone. This kind of oversight, professional disorganization and lack of service was disappointing since I had used Brooks a few times in the past.
Description of Work: Overlooked my job request. A man at Brooks Lock & Key answered the phone in the morning, verified they were working, promised further contact by phone by the technician assigned my job -- BUT no phone call came and nothing was done even though I waited most of the day.

We have a back door that we didn't use for years and, in fact, had lost the keys to. I found Brook's Lock and Key on Angie's list and called them based on the high ratings. They came out the day I called and in about an hour they re-keyed both the deadbolt and the door knob lock. Very professional and easy to work with! I was impressed!

Called on Monday to have three doors re-keyed after purchasing a townhome. It was recommended that we rekey because you never know if neighbors or previous tenants still have keys. BLK could not come Monday and they said they would be there Tuesday and call before coming out. Technician called Tuesday at 12:00 and said he would be there in 20 minutes. I had left the house open with the key for the locks and the new key I wanted it re-keyed to on the table inside the door. I was also about 20 minutes away and let him know that if he got there before me to go ahead and let himself in and begin the job. It took me about 30 minutes to get there and when I arrived he was already done with the three re-keyed locks and had the old knob style deadbolts out and ready for the keyed deadbolts. I then had him install the two deadbolts. He was super quick, professional and pleasant to deal with. Price was reasonable if you think about what you could lose if someone with a key lets themself in and steals all your junk. I would def use them again.

I discovered Brooks Lock & Key through Angie?s List. The person that received my initial call was very courteous and I was able to schedule an appointment within one day of my call. The service technician that came to my home was a little late to arrive but he called in advance to let me know that he was running behind on another service call. He quickly re-keyed three different locks to work with same key and provided spare keys. He walked me through what he was doing and demonstrated that the re-keying was complete and correct.

The service man called around 9:30 and was here by 9:45 and finished within an hour. He was very friendly and professional, and discussed a few options. He rekeyed the new locks to use the existing key. A roommate just came home, used his key and said, "Nice lock" as he came in. :) I'm sure I'll use them again, if necessary.
Description of Work: The lock on the front door lock would not unlock yesterday. I called my father and he recommended BLK, which I had already looked up on Angie's List since it was close by. I also mentioned that the lock on the back door was also not working. They could not come that day but said they would come today; they could not make an appointment time but would call when available.

Service went great. Tommy was on site in about two hours from the initial call. I purchased the locks. Took about two hours to complete the job. He cleaned up as he went as well.
Description of Work: Changed the locks on six exterior doors. Added dead bolt locks on five exterior doors. Added one dead bolt lock to one interior door. Although it was Saturday Tommy came out and did a superb job. He was polite, honest and responsive. I would definitely use this company again.

Nothing particularly exciting. He came on time the next day, removed all the door handles and deadbolts, re-keyed the locks, and reassembled them. Probably took less than an hour five doors with doorknobs and deadbolts.

They didn't perform any work. They came out and looked at the locks and said they needed to be ordered. After constant follow up on my part and hounding, I just gave up after they said every day for a week that they would call me back the next day with the status. Luckily I never paid for anything. I would look elsewhere in the first place.
