Was able to do everything in one afternoon. After he had packed up, we realized we forgot one door on the balcony on the second floor. With no hesitation he took care of that door also. Charged us exactly what he said per lock, was on time, and we were very happy.
Description of Work: Needed to change all locks for the home we purchased. We did not have all the current keys, which made it harder. We also needed a combination lock changed.

The service was fantastic; he was fast, efficient, courteous, professional, clean, nice, and very helpful
Description of Work: Daniel came out last minute on a Saturday, and I'm very thankful. Eureka my front door and glass sliding door to match the master key of the house. I lost our pinball machine key, so I opened up the pinball machine and made a new key for us. He was fast, efficient, professional, very nice and helpful, I would highly recommend him for any of your locksmith needs. I originally called a locksmith who has a storefront in Norwalk, they were so incredibly rude I would never use that locksmith in Norwalk again. If you're looking for a reliable locksmith who cares, call Jake the locksmith

Jake was punctual and precise in explaining the proposed solution to use the existing functioning equipment rather than buy a new lock mechanism. The repair was completed in a short time, and the location was left clean and tidy.

It's a very old front door lock system. He had to get the parts from the original lock maker. The size on the first try was slightly off, but he dealt with the mfg and we had the replacement piece as soon as practical. Very helpful through the entire process.

Called the day before to set up appointment for next day. Dan arrived on time. Showed him what we required. Made the recommendations (our locks were ancient so we needed to replace, not just re-key). He had the required equipment in his truck. Did the job very efficiently and very quickly. Explained the locking systems to us. Gave us set of 4 keys. Excellent professional service. Highly recommend his services. Hired him based on Angie List reviews --- so I wish to add my A as well!!

My husband and I just purchased a new home, so we hired Jake the Locksmith to replace all the locks on the house (the originals of which were all different). We also could not access the garage because we were not provided a key for it by the sellers, so he was able to access the garage and replace that lock, too. We were able to get a Saturday appointment (a huge plus) and our locksmith showed up on time, was professional, and did a great job.
Description of Work: Replaced 6 locks (originals were all different), including one which was locked and for which we did not have the key. Also replaced two key locks with thumbturns.

I called Dan the day before I was hoping for service and he was able to fit me in to his schedule. On the day of service, Dan showed up on time - even beating me to the house - As I am a first time homeowner, I had some questions about changing locks, fire safety, and options. Dan took the time to answer my questions and educate me. While giving me the chance to make all final decisions. He then went right to work and was done very quickly (even after running back to his shop for parts or tools). I recommend his services and will use him again.

It went perfectly! I had read past reviews, and someone had commented on how he called to say what time to expect him, and I had the same very positive experience. I told him that I had read his reviews on Angie's List, and that he was and quot;as promisedand quot;!! He came early, as a matter of fact, and called first to be sure I was home. He completed the work exactly as needed, and charged a very appropriate rate. He was also very nice.

Dan was running a little late but was courteous enough to call and let me know. Once he arrived, I described what I wanted, and asked his advice on a couple of situations around my new home. He gave me his expert opinion and then the work began. He worked quickly, and the job was done in about an hour, maybe a little more. All of the locks work perfectly with the keys provided, and the new dead bolt looks great and is also working properly. He cleaned up after himself as well. Everything went very smoothly. It's not like the price is a steal, but I didn't think it was unfair either. All in all a good job and I'd definitely use him again, and recommend to others needing a quality locksmith.

We just moved into an old house and did not receive a key for the front door. I wanted to either replace the lock entirely or get a new key made. The technician from Jake's responded to my inquiry within 24 hours and was out for a look about two days later. He arrived just when he said he would, inspected the lock and informed me that the old lock cannot simply be replaced by a new one on my old door. My only option for a new lock is to buy a new door. So he made me a key for the old lock until I can decide what I want to do. The cost to make the new key and reset the lock was ~$30. The charge for the trip out to my house was $55, which I wasn't expecting and I'm not sure if that's average. I wish he had told me on the phone first about the charge so I could at least be prepared for it. Otherwise I was very happy with the experience and would hire them again.

I chose Jake based on just a couple of reviews on Angie's List and because he was local. He told me his rates over the phone and he came right away to give me an estimate on other things. He seemed incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. His estimate was very reasonable and he worked with me on several things. He performed the work almost immediately. I had ordered some locks and he came right back and installed them. He seemed very honest and I had complete faith in him. He even fixed issues that had nothing to do with his work, but that had been done by the original locksmith. His prices were more than fair. I definitely would recommend him to others.

I spoke to Dan on the phone, explained what I needed and he responded with clear ct costs and what he would perform for those charges. He then showed up on time and proceeded to explain what he would do after reviewing the various locks. He was even able to re-key a lock that he thought he would initially have to completely replace. It was a very hectic day for me, as the movers were also there moving in all our possessions. Dan went about his business quietly, unobtrusively and professionally. He did a great job, saved me some money and suplied extra sets of keys. I highly recommend Dan and would use him again in a second!

Jake the Locksmith was the closest locksmith recommended on Angie's List, but the price of the call was a bit higher as Dan had to come from Westport to Stamfordand mdash;he explained that he doesn't usually travel that far. He asked me to send photos of the lock we needed to have repaired and that was very helpful as he was able to obtain a replacement from Baldwin free of charge. Unfortunately Baldwin was quite slow in sending the part,, But Dan kept us posted of progress. Once he received it he called and was able to do the work that day. He is very pleasant and professional, and despite the higher service call charge I would call him again.
Description of Work: Dan installed a new turnpiece and mortised two strike plates deeper.
