It's possible that I just got this provider on a bad few days. I think they thought they had done a proposal, ordered the item, and taken my payment info. I called two times to check on price, availability, and install. On the third call, the proprietor indicated that we'd talked twice and he would call me when the item arrived (a week had already passed with no indication of an install time).The provider seemed very irritated that I was calling. I think he may have realized that they had not communicated well. I used a different provider.
Description of Work: I asked the provider to propose a keyless entry solution. My first call was FANTASTIC. But, there was no follow up. I called to get information about availability and service date and the provider made me feel like I was bothering them. I also had no idea the cost or estimated install date. Ultimately, the price for the item from the provider was 30% above other advertised prices.

The person who came out was nice. When he came out to do the project, there was more work then originally planned. He asked us if it was okay to do the work before he did it, which I thought was considerate. The glass door lock was very tricky to do. I did think that they were expensive, and one of the door locks was not completely perfect.
Description of Work: Buffalo Lock and Key Inc rekeyed all the locks in the house. They installed dead bolts to our doors as well. Along with that they put in a new handle on our garage door and fixed the latch on the sliding glass door.

They did a good job. They responded timely. The locksmith was in and out. It wasn’t the best; he has worked for a long time. He is tired and old. Not that it mattered, but he is just not the happiest person in the world. That is just him personally; other than that, he did the job. The price was fair. I didn’t have any problems with the quality of the work.

We have had them out a couple of times. They are very good and very easy to deal with onsite. They were slow in responding to our original written request for a quote, I think they get overloaded at times.

Good.
Description of Work: We just bought a house, and needed the locks changed. This ended up being a somewhat more expensive proposition that I first supposed, though that wasn't entirely the fault of Buffalo L&K. Instead of just re-keying, we had two locks changed out entirely in order to have one key fit multiple doors. This increased the price, but I wasn't expecting it to increase it quite so much - what I envisioned as a $100 job increased to a $300 one. The woman who did our installation was very professional, and I enjoyed working with her.

I liked that the cost was reasonable. They did a critical alarm but there wasn't an emergency. He had to order a part and it took a little bit of time but he did end up fixing it. It's good as we could expect and it’s working fine.
Description of Work: We used Buffalo Lock & Key Inc about eight months ago to change the lock for us.

The process went well. However, I like to shop and compare items and charges. Once a service call is initiated, the opportunity to compare is not possible. I have encountered the same situation with plumbing. I think $243.50 for the unit plus tax is unrealistic, but I didn't look elsewhere. The service and installation fees seem reasonable.
Description of Work: The front entry door knob was replaced after it came apart when I turned it. The knob is in the center of a 36-inch-wide door. The brand is Schlage. The service man tried a $66 unit, which didn't fit the other part. He special-ordered the replacement. Schlage told him that the residential unit was discontinued and this is commercial. However, it looks the same as the original, which may have been installed when the house was built 50 years ago.

The service technician appeared promptly and performed his service quickly and efficiently. Also, before the job, my boly lock would not engage smoothly and I coldn't figure out how to correct it. The Buffalo service technician fixed the bolt lock so that it worked very smoothly. I was very pleased with the service.
