They were good. He was a guy and concerned about my safety. He gave me a few tips on things that I should pay attention to and that was good. He did what he was supposed to do. I had him check all the doors and make sure that my key worked. He made sure that everything was okay before he left. He didn't leave until I was satisfied. The price was more than I expected but I did not do a price check and don't know how to compare it. I will do some price checking if I need such a service again.
Description of Work: I used Action Lock & Safe for getting the locks changed before I moved in.

Our experience with them was fine and I would use them again in the future. Their price was reasonable. They were very good. They were very clean, professional and well informed. They even adjusted a door for me on their own initiative because they did not like icky doors.

We moved into a new home so I wanted to have the locks re-keyed and add some new hardware. including a keyless entry system. When I called Action, they were able to give me an appointment for the very next day. Phil arrived at the appointed time and set right to work. Not only was all the new hardware installed perfectly, Phil even fixed a french door that was very difficult to open and close. He also rekeyed some existing locks so I only have to carry one key. He brought his own vacuum and cleaned up the work areas. Given the time spent (3+ hours), I feel the service charge was very reasonable. I would not hesitate to call Action Lock again.

Excellent service. I called on a Monday and they scheduled the service for the following morning. Joe arrived right on time and did a great job. The only dilemna was that I was quoted one price when I scheduled the appointment and then another higher price after the job was completed. After a quick call to the office they honored their original quote. They provided two free keys and a 10% discount for being an Angie's List customer. Overall I was very pleased with their services and I will definitly use them again.
Description of Work: We had 4 locks to our new home rekeyed and 6 new keys made.

Pleasantly surprised. When the lock broke on our front door, I called the locksmith after checking Angie's List . I was worried because not only couldn't I lock the door, I couldn't close the door. Phil was able to come out the same day that I called. The new knob and lock that he installed work so much better than our old one. We will definitely call Action Lock and Safe any time we need a locksmith in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced door handle and lock on our main door. Rekeyed the new lock to match our existing system. Made extra keys.

Contacted Action Lock and safe in the morning, and was able to schedule to have the work done the next day. Had one lock replaced to match the rest, had 7 other door locks rekeyed and 3 new keys for the locks produced. Work was completed in about 3 hours. Priority was to get home secured by new owner. Next time would do a more thorough price comparison with local competitors.

We first hired this company last summer, after we purchased our home. We wanted to re-key all the locks, and had called several places to get information. Action Lock and Safe offered the most competitive prices, and seemed the most intelligent and knowledgeable. They were also able to come out within a day of our phone call. During the course of remodeling, we had given a house key to a contractor who later just up and quit the job, leaving our front door unlocked and wide open. We had also discovered that the contractor had given our key to several of his "subs", rather than keeping it only in his possession. Action Lock and Safe to the rescue! They came the same day we called, and again re-keyed the locks. And knowing that we would also be changing the lock sets during remodeling, they worked to figure out the least expensive way to re-key the existing, and try to work with the upcoming changes. Our new contractor (This Home Handyman--an Angie's List Superstar!!), has now installed new lock sets, and we once again called Action Lock and Safe. And once again, as we've come to expect, they came out immediately and performed an excellent job! Hopefully, we'll never again need to change or re-key locks, but if we do, we'll certainly call them for the job. They are trustworthy, reliable, and reasonably priced.

They did a good job and charged a reasonable fee. The finished the job in less than an hour. We though that they would have to replace the entire lock mechanism, but they just found out the part that was bent and fixed it very cheaply. They could have replaced the whole thing and charged us a lot more. They are punctual and professional too.

The installer professionally installed the lock and made sure the door was aligned correctly. This was difficult to do since the builder did not do it correctly.
Description of Work: Installed a Kwikset fashion handle set and replaced the deadbolt with a MultiLock cylinder. This included extra keys (these keys are more expensive because they are non-copy MultiLock).

Phil called ahead and arrived as scheduled. He recognized a worn part and although it was no longer made, he was able to replace it with an old part that he keeps from previous jobs. He adjusted and lubed the mechanism and all worked fine. I happened to mention that we were having a problem opening one of our sliding glass doors and he even fixed that for us. He was a very nice guy.

I believe the unfortunate thing for the customer is that the company does not phone you when it appears they ''might'' not get to your house as you will then obviously call someone else.
Description of Work: Called this company at 8:15 a.m. on Tues the 5th as my front door would not open. The person who answered the phone told me to call back at 9:00 and book with the dispatcher. I called back at 9:05 and told the dispatcher I would probably need a new handle/lock assembly as I could not get my door open. He told me someone would call first and be out that day. I canceled two appointments and stayed home as he could not give me a time frame. At 3:30 I called the company and was told ''we are way behind and very busy as there were several break-ins today''. He asked if we could reschedule for the next day. I said no. After reading other posts it appears ''luck'' is what you need for good service. If they are not busy they come right away. A courtesy call to me would have been appreciated when they realized they were not going to be able to come to my house that day.
