To the Reviewer from 2/17/2016, that was my dad who was on television "cracking" the safe. He opened J&J Locksmiths in 1956 with a friend of his "Jim," a year before I was born. When he sold "the shop" as we called it, he opened his own security system company that included safes. Their current website states they're family owned and operated for decades, but the current owners are not part of our family. They're a family on their own so I guess what they're advertising is true, but it is not OUR family who created and established J&J Locksmiths. Thought you might enjoy seeing the attached newspaper ad from 1956...

The reason I selected J & J Locksmith was because years ago I was aware of them unlocking an old safe - maybe 1800's - that took a few days to determine the combination. They were able to unlock the safe safely which was not an easy task. Television crews were there to report on the unlocking of the safe. Regarding the work the company did for me, the locksmith gave me an option to save money by not making so many combination changes and keys but did the work the way I wanted on four doors. He was very knowledgeable and went to work immediately. When I telephoned the office, I was told the cost for each part of the work so I knew what to expect to pay. I was told an approximate time he would arrive at my home and he was even a few minutes early. It was obvious he enjoys his work and offered excellent customer service. I would definitely use J & J Locksmith again.
Description of Work: Made combination changes on seven locks (not all the same combination changes but four different ones), made four original keys and 24 duplicate keys.

The locksmith came on the same day I called. He was fast and efficient and clearly knew what he was doing. Very professional. He also premade multiple keys for me at the shop before he came out. I would definitely use this company again for my lock and key needs.
Description of Work: The locksmith rekeyed locks for my front door and interior garage door. He also made a repair to the front door to make the lock work better.

The entire experience was first rate. When I called they answered the phone promptly and made an appointment for the next day. They showed up at the designated time and completed all the work quickly and efficiently. I never got the feeling they were rushing even though the job took longer than expected. They left no mess, and answered all my questions. This was a totally positive experience.
Description of Work: They changed 8 locks (front and back doors and security screen - knob and deadbolts on both) on a rental cottage and repaired the locks on two doors in my house plus provided us with new keys for the new locks.
