We called early in the morning and Gerry came out in about an hour and gave us an estimate of the work that had to be done. He told us that he'd to back in the afternoon to do the work. In the afternoon, he called to let us know he was running late and would be there in an about an hour. He arrived along with another locksmith and they completed all the work in about one and a half to two hours. They were very professional and the final bill matched the estimate. We were very satisfied with their work and would use them again.
Description of Work: A-Best Locksmith replaced our front door locks and added new locks for our sliding glass doors in the living room and den and a sliding glass window in the kitchen. They also re-keyed a door lock from the den to the garage and another from the garage to the side yard.

The overall story is the guy stole our bathroom key which auto locks and just left. Just had someone else come and change the locks and rekey them all for $100 and he was going to change me $165 for the lock! Watch out for this company, they are sneaky and steal!!
Description of Work: WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! The “OWNER”, Gerry stole our key and didn’t even give us a quote before going and picking up a lock and doing any of the work. I have NEVER had a company not give a quote before starting a job. Never gave the discount for using Angies List and then told me I can pick the key up at his location. Very disrespectful and not professional dressed; was not ready for a day of work. I would never tell anyone to use him or “his company” again. We have a quote from his for another job but I have decided I am not going to use him or the company and has completely lost my business along with our company and the association.

After calling several locksmiths for quotes, I decided to go with A Best Locksmith (Gerry). Not only was his quote competitive, he provided/honored a 10% discount coupon per Angie's List. I also found his responses over the phone to be professional. He called when he was on his way to give me advance notice which was helpful. Upon arriving, Gerry listened and understood my request.......and then completed the job in less than an hour. Also, I asked him about a loose door handle which he adjusted in no time. While Gerry was very professional, he was also conversant especially when we discussed golfing. Will definitely call upon them again when the need arises as well as recommend him to all my friends.
Description of Work: Re-keyed 7 cylinders at my home.

I called Gerry Sunday morning because our front door handle broke. He said he would be there within the hour and he was. He showed me a catalog with replacement door handles that he would order. I showed him several other small projects. When he arrived to do the repairs, he had the nice, sturdy new door handle. He promptly replaced it. Then he quickly repaired the other problems. He even repaired an unstable door, a problem we have had for years, quickly and competently. Thank you, Gerry!
Description of Work: Gerry was professional, competent and performed the job well. He repaired a prior workman's work and a failed attempt of mine. I wish more workmen had these qualities. Don't hesitate to call Gerry.

Gerry showed up within 15 minutes of when he said he would and performed all the work we agreed to.
Description of Work: We needed to have all the locks changed in our home and wanted to get a combo lock for the front door so we no longer give out keys to cleaning people. Gerry installed a new front door lock, taught me how to assign codes to it and changed out several other locks in my home. He also installed new deadbolts. I appreciate that he tried to save me as much money as possible by re-using some existing locks I already owned on different doors and recoding them work with new keys. He was very courteous and polite and I would recommend him to others.

He did a great job. He was able to utilize most of the lock and only had to change the bolt. He did exactly what he promised at the estimated price. I would highly recommend this service. By the way they came on Sunday morning without any extra haslle or charge.

I got recommendations from Angies List. I chose this contractor because of his location, and because he promised to to come to my home and inspected the problem very soon after I contacted him. Diagnosed the problem. Told me that lock was still good, but a replaceable part had broken. Fixed it right there on the spot. Lock has been working fine since,
Description of Work: Main door lock was broken. Thought it had to be replaced. Contractor diagnosed problem, and fixed lock. Saved me the cost of installing a new lock.

Gary came out to my house an hour after I called. He was prompt and efficient. Completed the job of rekeying two locks, matching the keys to two other locks that I had in other parts of the house, so that I actually benefitted by having to keep track of two less keys in my life! I would definitely recommend his services.
Description of Work: After having my purse stolen, I needed to have the locks rekeyed. He was very pleasant and assessed with me the situation while we determined which locks should be rekeyed and duplicated. He was prompt and efficient.

I called Gary at 10:00 and he was ready to meet me at my property in an hour. I had other commitments and scheduled him for 3:00. Gary called 1/2 an hour before the appointment to confirm it and arrived timely. He quoted the price before he started working and rekeyed the four locks within a few minutes. He was prompt, efficient and courteous. I was very pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Gerry extracted the broken key from the lock and he picked it open without any damage. I was very please with his punctuality and professionalism. To my surprise for being a holiday late in the evening he was quite reasonable.
Description of Work: Thursday of Thanksgiving around midnight I came home from having dinner at my Mom's house, I went to unlock my front door and the key broke off inside the lock. My whole family was in the car including my newborn, so I said to myself what do I do now? I decided to knock on my neighbors door to ask for a phone book to call a locksmith. He said "no" I have someone I've used before, his name is Gerry of A-best Locksmith and he is reliable. I said to Phil do you really think he'll come out on Thanksgiving night this late? He said give it a shot. It was pretty cool he got to my house in less than half an hour.
