Description of Work: The locksmith re-keyed all of my exterior doors (4) and as an afterthought, I asked him to flip the lever handles on my interior doors (5). The lever handles, originally installed by a friend and not done correctly and just needed to be flipped. He was fast, efficient and I thought very reasonable as I took advantage of Angie's List discount service ads.

Jeff showed up at my house on time and worked on my car. He finished in about an hour. Jeff is professional and very nice guy. He knew exactly how to take my door apart and replace the lock.
Description of Work: Jeff Pugh, the owner, replaced a lock on the passenger door of my 2005 Honda Element. The dealer wanted $300 to do the same thing. I wish I had know about Jeff before as the dealer charged me a ton to replace the ignition switch. Jeff could have done the same job for a 3rd of the cost. At the time I did not know that there were people like Jeff that specialized in automotive locks and ignition switches.

Jeff answered the phone right away. He arrived in about 40 minutes. He expedited my lockout, broken door knob, and made new keys in a very short time. He was very polite and courteous. He offered no sales pitch, just performed the tasks I needed. It was a no pressure situation that was very pleasant and professional. I would recommend Choice Locksmithing & Security and will use him again in the future. Many thanks, Jeff !!

Jeff showed up on time and installed the lock the day I called. He was recommended by his former employer (Angie's list Honor, A member company.) when they were unable to do the job until the next day. My lock needed to be modified to accept a key lock, but he did the work quickly and efficiently. Jeff was very pleasant to work with.
