Description of Work: It may be that the locksmith was sincerely interested in informing me of a higher security style lock for my front door but I felt maybe this was just a way to make more money on a service call.

Response from Lion Security & Locksmith
I'm still trying to understand what is wrong with informing our client with products that will provide them with better security or with a company that is trying to make more money ? Isn't it a big part of doing business?

Description of Work: The locksmith did come a distance to my house to do the service, but then told me he didn't have the right finish (brushed brass) for the lock to match the other hardware around my door and house. He said he could go buy it, but would charge me extra to go buy it. I told him to install what he had. My husband complained because what we needed was pretty standard. So, I had him re-install the properly finished lock and paid an extra $50. So, I'm not sure whether this is considered standard or not. The locks now look fine and work well.

Description of Work: I found the cost to replace one small lock on an outside door to be outrageously expensive. Yes, the key had been lost and he had to drill the lock to remove it but considering that I thought I was getting something of a deal, I would have preferred to use my handyman who would have shopped for the lock and installed it for probably a quarter of the price. Will never use them again.

Description of Work: I was not there when the lock was changed. My mother in law was, and was charged an additional substantial amount above the deal. It may have been a standard price, but not a great deal as far as I can tell. They did a good job, however.

I recently inherited a safe that belonged to my dad and could not figure out the code to open it. I called Lion Security and made an appointment for same day service. Few hours later, a gentleman named Leo came over and opened our safe. I was very impressed by this guy, that at the moment the safe was opened, he did not open the door. He asked me to open it myself, so I could keep the privacy of what's inside. More so, during the time he was working on the safe he was answering many questions I had (not every day you get to watch someone crack a safe). By the end of the work, Leo was able to save the safe so it will continue working. I decided to replace/upgrade the lock on the safe to a newer model digital keypad and now it's much easier for me to open it. Thank you very much Leo the "Lion" - Great Job!
Description of Work: Leo opened our old safe and replaced the dial to electronic keypad.

When We finished remodeling the driveway at our home we decided to add a an iron gate to make the property more secure. The company that install the gate did not do any low voltage work so we needed to find someone that can add an intercom system so we could control the access into the property from our phone. We found out about lion security locksmith online and decided to get an estimate for the work. Leo , the owner ,came over himself and offered us few options to get the work done. We compered his pricing with few other companies in the area and found out that not only that he offered us a great price he is giving us a better quality product than the other companies. Work was professional and very clean! We are very happy with the service and the outcome!

I recently purchased a new house and wanted to change my locks. I called Leo from lion security and set up an appointment . The technician was right on time and very professional. He suggested to do a walk throughout the house and offered a free security survey , something that seemed very professional. After we talked about his suggestions I decided to upgrade my current lock to high security locks he offered , he gave me a great deal ( i even called other companies to verify pricing). The locks are very high tech and even come with lifetime warranty. My experience with lion security was very good and I recommend using them for all of your security needs !!!

We were very happy with the service and the quality of the work they provided. All work was done according to the schedule and the result was very pleasing. We Decided to hire Lion Security after getting a few other bids from different companies in the area. Their prices were very reasonable for the kind of project we had. We were able to get them over for the estimate on the same day with no problem and decided to do the work after a few days. The owner of the company who came himself for the estimate was very knowlagable in his field and provided us with a full security survey after walking around our warehouse. He gave us a few suggestions to choose from and together we found the best way to securt the place.
Description of Work: Lion Security preformed a complite security upgrade at our ware house which included: High security locks That were installed on all of our exterior doors. Survelilance camera system with 14 cameras and dvr with internet viewing. Access control system with code locks.

Description of Work: I was in need of a security lock for my business and Lion was able to have it installed and working within the same day. They were professional and cleaned up after the install.

The owner quoted me a price of $65. to install a dead bolt in a new front door and an additional $65.00 to install the matching lever/handle. I was very clear on the materials, type of door, name of the lock manufacturer, etc... so there would be "no surprises." We set up an appointment. He arrived on time and did the work. However, he was not going to install the little "cup" (that came with the set) that goes into the doorframe under the deadbolt faceplate which gives it clean finished look. Leaving this off would have left the new lock and door appearing as though it was not professionally installed. I had to push the issue to get him to do it. When he finished I was presented with a bill of $250.00. When I asked why it was almost double, he gave some reasons that did make sense. Then upon leaving he informed that the screws that came with the set were not the proper ones and he could not guarantee how long they would hold the handle in place. I couldn't help but wonder why he didn't tell me that BEFORE he did the work???? However, he did tell me which ones to get and he would come back and install the correct ones. He did so for additional fee! The lock is working fine, but I am not happy with the over billing AFTER he gave me a quote and did not discuss any up-charges while he was working. He was at my home for less than hour for the initial installation and 10 minutes to install the screws.
