We contacted him prior to the closing at our new home and he said just call him when all the paperwork was done. He came over that afternoon and changed most of the locks and rekeyed others. Excellent work - work very timely and professional. Would definitely recommend and use again. Price reasonable.

Steve with Preferred Locksmith showed up on time with a smile and a great attitude. He is a real and quot;lockand quot; guy and encountered locks of different types, including one pre-WWII lock! He changed all cylinders or locks as needed, and gave me new keys. One lock was unique and he did not have the part, so his associate delivered the part to him to complete the job. I was very pleased with his service, and would definitely recommend Preferred Locksmith to anyone.
Description of Work: Changed all lock chambers or locks on newly purchased home.

I originally called Gary for some information and he was very informative about the products to get and the ones to stay away from. After purchasing the locks, Gary installed a front door handle and lock on the main door as well as 5 other house entry doors which all needed to be changed due to a recent move out. He was very polite and informative.
Description of Work: Gary changed the locks to the front door and 5 other house entry points after a recent move out.

They arrived on time, quoted me a price, and installed a new dead bolt lock. Also rekeyed my other locks. The only sticking point was a question I had on the previous work done by another technican, which we came to an understanding after a conversation with their office.
Description of Work: Installed a new dead bolt lock & rekeyed my existing locks to accecpt just one key. Very neat install of the new lock & I would use this company again.

I would recommend Preferred. My wife and I occasionally purchase properties with the intent of fixing them up, and we frequently use a locksmith. Preferred is fairly priced for the area and they are punctual and professional. Preferred is the only locksmith we use.
Description of Work: We use Preferred Locksmith for locksmith services. We used them this past January.

He performed the services requested on time, as described, for an agreed-upon price, and was a pleasure to deal with, too! He really seemed to enjoy his job and explained everything thoroughly.
Description of Work: The service man needed to come out and rekey the lock for a home I was selling. He was easy to contact, made an appointment for the near future, arrived as planned and on time and was very professional. He did an excellent job and I would be happy to refer him to any friends or clients.
