The locksmith arrived on time, worked quickly and did an excellent job. He was even able to fix a problem lock that I hadn't been able to operate. I would definitely use them again.

The locksmith came to the school even though I found out after purchasing that we were not in their area of covergage. They worked it out to send one of their guys over because he lived in my area. So he came on his way home and worked to get my vehicle unlocked after hours!
Description of Work: Unlocked a vehicle.

Call on emergency basis. Arrived about 60 minutes later. Solved the problem promptly and professionally Price unknown to me--paid by the realtor I also had them make some duplicate keys a few days later (they are the physically closest locksmith). All of the keys worked--and they were cheaper per key than the hardware stores, where I have found many copy failures. I will use them again.
Description of Work: Solved lock out problem at new property. Opened the install Kaba Lock Made new keys

Called on Friday 9/25 requesting that locks in my home be rekeyed. I was not there and friends agreed to wait for the technician to arrive for appointment scheduled for Monday 9/28 between 2-4 pm. The technician (name was Chris) arrived just before 4 and indicated that he could not do the job because it would take at least two hours. He said that he would be back the next day. I knew that I would not be there the next day and reluctantly allowed him to keep a key for when he came back. Heard nothing the following day (9/28) and when I called Chris on Wednesday he indicated that he operates according to the home office schedule. He then indicated that I would need to call the main number to check the status of my appointment. When I called the main office, I spoke with Bill (I think). He indicated that Chris hadn't worked the day before and that he didn't know why Chris had indicated to me that he would be coming the following day. He then proceeded to tell me that they had needed to order parts and that these parts had not yet come in. He then said that it was going to be substantially more expensive than they originally thought. After I realized that he nothing more to say, I asked what the plan was and he indicated that they would give me a call when parts came in . I then had to ask when this might be and he indicated that he didn't know. Cancelled the order and back to square one. And now I have to figure a way to get my key back
Description of Work: Nothing. Technician indicated that he would need to Return the next day because the job would take longer than originally expected.

Response from DESTIN LOCKSMITHING INC
[member name removed], I wanted to apologize for the inconvenience that happened! I wanted to start out by stating that we do wish you were on site to have the full story vs it going through friends. I'm not sure if they told you or you were aware but this was one of the days it was storming and and down poor rain all day which was causing flooding in the area. Yes we arrived "just before 4pm" but we did quote you between 2-4pm and we did arrive within that window. After your friends showed my technician all the doors that needed to be rekeyed, including the carriage house, our technician, Chris, started the rekey job and after removing the first three locks and realizing your hardware was snapping on the bottom bolts due to the corrosion he felt that it was best to have proper repair parts or replacement locks if we were to continue rekeying your home vs leaving your house unsecured and your friends asked how long this would take and they were the ones that were not willing to wait around for another two hours. Chris has always worked late and never complains about working late. I have seen pictures of these locks myself and between my locksmith Chris and myself with 18 years eperience we have not seen these type of locks and are not impressed with how they are made. They were made by a door company called ORMH which we have never heard of and we searched online for a long time and I believe they have gone out of business. The one mistake my technician did make was telling your friends he "should" be back the next day and for that we truly apologize as he forgot to inform our office and he forgot that he was off the next day as we had just changed his off days from Thursday to Tuesdays starting that week. We have talked to our technician about the procedure we have for scheduling jobs the next day so this does not happen. In order for your house to be properly secured someone would need to replace the through bolts on the hardware otherwise if someone else does it half way it will not be properly secured. Do to this being a corrosion and lock problem, Chris while on site did inform you that there would be additional charges and the next day our service Manager Jimmy did state the charges would turn from a flat rate charge do to an hourly rate charge due to not knowing how long it would take per lock. Either way we didn't do the work and surprise you with a bill afterwords. We wanted to make sure you were fully aware that there would be additional charges before moving forward. Unfortunately we cannot do additional labor at the same quoted price that was given over the phone if the locks need to be repaired/replaced plus re-keyed. Your issue is rare but it does happen. In regards to the "copy" of your key your friends still have the original key. My locksmith did bring your copy of your key to management assuming we were going back. Again we made a copy of your key and we are locksmiths so I'm not sure what the big issue about not getting the "copy" of the key we made back to you as your friend had the original. I hope this gives you a better outlook on the job and we pride ourselfs in being very professional. Questions or concerns please let us know. Thank you!

He seemed to know what I was talking about. He came out and did it and they ordered the stuff and they got it when they said they would and they came out and finished the job.
Description of Work: I used Panama City Locksmith doing business as Destin Locksmithing. I had them install a deadbolt and knob in existing holes. One deadbolt and 2 lock sets.

The trunk key lock on our 2009 Hyundai didn't work. I tried the dealer, a recycle center and another locksmith with no solution. Driving by we saw Destin Locksmith and stopped in. I explained the problem and he said let me look. He came out, lubricated the key lock and it started working. I thanked him and offered to pay, he smiled and sent me on my way. For any lock work we know to call them.
Description of Work: Fixed the trunk lock on our Hyundai trunk.

Great work done in a timely fashion! Mike gave us a call before his arrival--he was on time--went over what we wanted done, and installed the locks we had already purchased at Lowe's. I couldn't be happier with the work that was done for us! I don't know if others have had problems with other locksmiths in the area, but I have. One company in particular--stars with A and ends with Z--has failed to deliver in the past. Destin Locksmithing will do the work they promise, show up when they are scheduled to show up, and charge a reasonable price for the labor they perform!
Description of Work: Mike Bacon came out this morning to replace two locks and rekey everything to one key. He was punctual, helpful, polite, and hard working! He did a great job and gave me great advice. I truly appreciate the work he performed and the service the company provided. From the person who answered the phone to the work Mike did for us this morning, this company stands out as an exceptional company! I will call no one else to perform this kind of work in the future, and I encourage all who read this post to choose this company.
