The owner called me back within 15 minutes of leaving a message and was able to accomodate me within the hour. I was prepared to purchase a new front door lock but he saved me money by offering a better solution. He re-keyed all locks to be the same and was very prompt, friendly and courteous. You could tell by the way he tackled the job that he has many years of experience in the business. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs lock repair or re-key!

Overall very smooth. Changed the gates and common area locks for the same key (7 locks in total). He arrived about 10 min. early and was done in about an hour.
Description of Work: I have used Tom for several re-keying of locks for the rental properties that I managed. He is extremely professional and punctual, early in fact. The most recent job I had him do was a complete property rekey for a tri-plex to reduce the number of keys for all the locks. He even carries the "do not duplicate" keys to help minimize turn-over costs down the road. It's safe to say I use him for all my locksmith needs.

I was very please with this company, and Tom even called me to see if I wanted the re-keying service done earlier as he'd finished his morning jobs earlier. He was on time, polite and got the job done in a very timely fashion. I originally asked to re-key 4 locks in a building I recently took possession of, but as I was walking through, I found total of 8 and he said it would be no problem. I've had locksmiths charge me far more for far less locks, so I was extremely pleased with Budget Lock.

Everything went smoothly with using Tom. He answered the phone right away and even took care of contacting my tenants to set up a time to come over since I live out of state. He charged 45.00 to come out and 8.00 per cylinder to be rekeyed. I also received a discount for using angieslist and i forgot to remind him but he remembered so it was 93.00 before discount. My tenants said he was ontime, professional and did a good job. I was also able to pay via phone with CC and he emailed me my receipt. A++, i will def use him again in the future. Thank you Tom.
Tom was right on time and completed the job in about 30 minutes. Very professional.

Everything went as planned and the service provided was great.
Description of Work: Closed on the house on last day of May and called Budget based on numerous AL ratings. Tom called me back, made an appointment for the same day and showed up exactly on time ready to go. He was asked to re-key all the locks and check everything that might be needed to be done. He was also very aware of cost and provided real-life information about what was needed and not needed. He completed the work, did a few tweeks to additional doors and was very professional, great prices and I would most definitely go with them again.

Couldn't be happier with the work that was done. They came on time, were very professional and did what I requested. The whole project took about 1 hour. Should I need a locksmith again, I will definitely call Budget.
Description of Work: Recently bought a foreclosure home. The key situation was a mess. One exterior door had no key at all and it had keyed locks on both sides of the door so we simply could not open the door. Another exterior door had a functioning deadbolt, but no knob (open space). Two other doors needed key change on both knob and deadbolt and two other doors needed new keys for the knobs only. Budget completely replaced 2 deadbolts and 2 knobs and updated all the other knob and deadbolts so that we could have one key for all of our doors. He also made copies of the key for me.

I had another locksmith look at the door and they said it needed to be replaced because it could not be fixed. Obviously they were wrong and Budget Lock saved me some money and scheduled the work so it exceeded my expectation. They will be our first choice next time we need a lock smith.
Description of Work: Called and left a message and he responded the same day. I had a handle on the main entrance door that was sticky and sometime hard to open. I requested that he replace it and he advised that I pick-up the handle and lock at home depot as they were less expensive than what he could purchase it for wholesale. I picked up the new lock for $145.00 on sale. He came out to the house looked at the lock and advised that it did not need to be replaced. He could fix it and I could return the new on for a refund. I advised him to proceed.

They were wonderful. Their price was reasonable. I change all the locks when I move into a new house. The guy was out here in no time at all. I think he’s in Scottsdale and my house is in Phoenix. I was very happy. He was very timely and very professional. I think he came the very next day. I would use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Budget Lock & Key in May 2009. He changed the locks out and he made 6 keys. I asked him to make extra keys as well.

My mother-in-law was in hospital and when he brought her back we noticed that my nephew had left the front and the security door wide open from the day before. There was a key in the security door and we couldn't find that. The configuration of the door is such that there is a special key that goes in there and if you drop that key you cannot use it to unlock any other door. It's like a little price holder key. We needed to get it and so we called them. I called charm who is truly my go to person when it comes to locksmiths and I can't think of anybody else. He has been our go to guy whenever we needed anything. He is fantastic. His price, punctuality, responsiveness and everything is just great. I hate to tell people how good he is because he would get too busy but he's just so good. It's hard to find a locksmith who is reasonable and trust worthy is a real find.

He was really good. I was really happy with him. He was very punctual and went out of his way to get here. He came right out the day that I called him. He did an excellent job. The price was reasonable for all the locks he rekeyed. He put some security tumblers on the front door. He was really nice and I had no problems. It was well worth the money. I would absolutely use him again.
Description of Work: I used Budget Lock & Key to put in a new lock on a new door I had installed. He also rekeyed all the locks in the house and adjusted the lock on a shed that was really hard to lock and now it is very smooth.

Tom was fantastic! He arrived within 20 minutes of my phone call and finished the work within a half hour. His charge was $55 which he discounted because of Angie's List! I have shared his name and phone number with several people because Tom has proved he is a professional who exceeds expectations of quality work and integrity. Even though there are locksmiths closer to my home, Tom will always be my first call when I need a locksmith!
Description of Work: My neighbor needed his garage door rekeyed the same as the other doors at his home. There was an urgency because important documents were locked in his car and he was in the hospital. He had no idea where the key was for the door but his boss needed the documents. To complicate this further, my neighbor was in the hospital because he had fallen and broken his leg in 3 places. Having had an extremely positive experience with Budget previously, I called and asked if he would come up to Cave Creek to do the work. He said he could and it would be no more than $75. Not only did he rekey the door, he also made 2 additional keys so this would not happen again!

First I searched Angie?s List of course, and then I gave my wife a couple possibilities. She called Budget Lock at 8:40am on Friday 23 July and got an estimate to re-key 8 locks in our just vacated rental home. It sounded like a very good price and so she made an appointment for me with Tom early the next day at 8:30am. On Saturday at 7:55am Tom called to let us know he was on his way. I arrived at 8:23 and Tom was waiting on me. To my embarrassment, we did not correctly remember how many locks we had and it turned out to be 12 plus a sliding glass door that we never even thought of, but which Tom pointed out to me thankfully. So 8 turned into at least 13 and I wondered if he would be able to do them within his allotted time. Tom said no problem at all. Obviously with his experience it was less of a surprise to him than it was to me. Then when he thought he was finished and gave me 6 new keys & the bill, I requested 10 ?Do Not Duplicate? keys which I thought he would have had made at the office and then send to me or I pick up later. But ?No problem? he did them right then and there. So, at least 13 locks (bill says 13, but I think he actually did more) re-keyed including at least 7 double-cylinder locks and a sliding glass door, all in a very short time including 6 new keys. $104. Plus $45 service call ? minus $5 Angie?s List coupon. Plus $29.96 for 10 ?Do not Duplicate? Keys @ $2.75 each plus tax. Plus excellent and friendly service. Total: $173.96. A better deal than we got last time when we had them re-keyed several years back, and that was a good deal at the time too. I can't think of anything that could be improved. Simply Awesome!
Description of Work: Re-keyed at least 13 locks in our rental home and made keys.
