I needed a locksmith to change the lock on our kitchen door because I lost our only key! I found A-A Lock on Angie's List and was very impressed by the great reviews. When I called to make the appointment, I explained that it was very important for me to have an early appointment and that the person assigned to my job would have to be on time; I wanted the locksmith to be finished with his work before my husband woke up; he has Alzheimer's Disease and becomes very agitated when strangers are in the house. The receptionist assured me that the technician would be on time, and yes, he was on time, exactly at 8:00 AM!! I was so happy and impressed! Abe, the technician, was gracious, considerate, competent and most certainly punctual. I highly recommend A-A Lock!

I have used them on and off for years now. They are very professional and they know what they are doing. They are a little expensive, but they are very reliable. If you need to get something done well and in a timely fashion, you can really rely on them. They are qualified. The last time they came out, it was during a weekend and it was night time. I have been using them for 20 years now. I’ll use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used A-A Lock for locksmiths. The last time they came out, they did a lock out in one of my rental units. One of my tenants was locked out. They made new keys for the tenant.

He was very punctual, very polite and efficient. He explained what was wrong and what he needed to do. He also gave me options to think about. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Door would not lock. It would bounce open when we closed it. He adjusted the strike. It took quite a bit of adjusting. We have had problems with this door for many years and have had several people try to fix it.

I was pleased with the professionalism of the worker and definitely appreciative that I could get the help and so quickly.
Description of Work: I was locked out of my bedroom on New Year's Eve. This company is nearby, and I called them to discover that they were one of the few on call that holiday evening. The locksmith kept in touch with me until he could come about an hour or so later. He opened the door, made a key for it and also a key for an outside door to the room.

The young man was totally unfamiliar with this sort of lock, but quickly studied the installation guides, looked the locks over, and was able to figure out how to do the installations. He was very cautious at every step of the way...the first one took the longest as he figured out how to make it work right-hand or left-hand (the instructions were incomplete about that). He was upfront about the extra charge for the security plate installs, and was careful when installing those. He tested each lock thoroughly at every step of the way, and made sure all things fit properly. The work was clean and beautifully done.
Description of Work: Installed two digital push button locking doorknobs on interior doors, plus security strike plates, plus installed digital push button double sided locking deadbolt on interior garage door, also with security strike plate.

This place offers a range of lock services, but I've only used them to get duplicate keys made. I tried two or three other local places before I found them, and for some reason many of the keys made at other places didn't work in our locks. I used to have to get three keys made to get one that worked. At this place, every key has worked.
