The service when the gentleman arrived was outstanding. I called to set the appointment and received one quickly which was great. I went in to pick out my lock and that went great, however the person at the service counter didn't see my name anywhere so he took it again and wrote it all down to confirm. This morning I called and spoke with a woman on the phone who didn't find my name again because I said if they wanted to come early they could. She said okay and confirmed my appointment . I came home from work to be here at 10 and at 10:40 they weren't here. I called again and she said she wished they took my number because apparently they never scheduled the person to do it I guess. She then told me they found the lock set she picked out and she would send someone right out. It was well after 11 when he arrived and didn't finish until noon. But, as I was saying he did an incredible job, very professional, clean etc. I would use them again, next time though I'll need to find a way to triple confirm or more my appointment and time I guess. I would definitely recommend them based on the service I received once they arrived :)

I contacted the company on Monday, made an appointment for Wednesday morning. Marty called ahead of time to confirm the appointment, showed up exactly when he said he would. He was very professional and friendly. He asked for me to confirm what I needed to be done. I did not have keys for the locks that I needed re-keying, only for one of four doors in the home. He went right to work and was completed in less than an hour. I was very pleased with the promptness, professionalism, the time it took to complete the job and was pleasantly surprised with the cost of the service. I expected more. I definitely recommend this locksmith and would definitely use again.

Description of Work: Called to replace front door lock which broke unexpectedly. Prompt and courteous on the phone, promised to arrive during that afternoon, indicating that someone would call within an hour to inform of their impending arrival time. After inspecting lock, took upon myself to try repair. It looked easy so called to cancel appointment. The people at Rays understood the problem, suggesting that I buy a new lock at Lowe's where I could get additional keys done on premises or could come to them for it. Even though I didn't use their services, I feel that this level of professionalism goes well beyond what is considered to be normal.

He was excellent. He helped me save a lot of money. Now I can use the same key for all of them. They were rated highly on Angies List, as I recall. I called them on the phone and they were very responsive. I was looking for someone closer and I really could not find anyone closer to where I live. I fitted them in an afternoon and we just waited. They told us it would take about 15 minutes and they did it while we waited. It was perfect.
Description of Work: We used Ray the Locksmith. He basically repeated my locks. He actually told me how to take them out of the lock section. He did 2 locks for me.

Called in the morning on short notice and he set up a time in the afternoon. Arrived early and we showing him how many changes we wanted and he went right to work. Had some trouble with a couple of the locks and kept at it until he solved the problem and still only took a little over an hour. Very friendly and professional and would recommend him to anyone.

I have used them twice. I had a 1984 car, that was a classic. They managed to open it up for me. They have access to all the keys, except the ones with the chips in them. I was pleased with them. I would use them again.
