When I called, Cathy promptly gave me quotes for replacing or repairing the lock, and told me the technician would repair if possible. Made an appointment for the next day, and the technician arrived on time and was able to repair the lock by replacing the bolt. Fast, friendly, efficient service.

Before entering my home, the locksmith kindly introduced himself and courteously asked me to describe and/or tell him what problem I was having. I immediately told him that I needed to have my backdoor locks keyed the same as the rest of my home. I showed him to the backdoor to let him see what was going on. He asked for the existing key that I wanted the lock to be keyed to and began to unscrew the existing locks while explaining what he was doing, I was thrilled to see just how quickly he was able to take the key with the locks to his truck do whatever had to be done to them (keying) and within what seem to have been less than 30mins. return them , clean and oil them and reset. The pricing was exactly what I had been by his company. Once again, I would definitely call Hillsborough Lock and Key company again.
Description of Work: Locksmith was sent to my home at my request. He was very courteous and professional. He explained what had to be done in order to change the locks and made sure that I tried the locks to see that they were in working order before leaving. He also encouraged me not to hesitate in giving his company a call if there were any further problems with either of the locks. As a customer, that really may me feel great! I will definitely tell other family members and friends about this locksmith company.

When i called they lady was very friendly and informed about their products. She gave me an estimate over the phone and i told them i needed it done asap and she had no problem with it. The locksmith was at my house in less then an hour with all my locks i inquired and he was very friendly. He got right to work and was done in no time. When it came time to pay i inspected his work and there was no evidence that he was even their, I loved it. I would diffently use their services again and highly recommand them.

I left my house keys in a rental car when we turned it in. They were not turned into lost and found. I fear that someone had access to our address and has possession of our keys. Hillsborough Locksmith was prompt, courteous, and professional. They re-keyed our the locks in our house. I would use them again.

Response from Hillsborough Lock and Key
Dear Member, Thank you for your report. I am very sorry you feel that the keys you were given were of cheap quility. All keys are made of brass and we can only use keys that fit your manufacture of locks. I also apologize that you felt the price was a little expensive. We try our best to be fair and competitive in our industry and most of the time offer the best price compared to other companies. We also do quote the cost of the job over the phone so that customers can compare our service price to others. Again I apologize about our fee for our service but we feel it was a fair fee for the service performed. We hope this does not effect our opportunity to do business with you in the future. If there is anything else we can help you with please give us a call. Sincerely, Cathy Van Orden

Service was great. I was real concerned that some locksmith would try to sell me a complete set of new deadbolts or perhaps even a whole new front door to fix this problem. I knew it was something that could be fixed with a Dremel tool and grinding attachment, but given that this is a rental home that is located far from my residence, I was unable to handle this one myself. I appreciate the honesty and integrity Hillsborough Lock and Key showed me.
Description of Work: My front door had a deadbolt which was misaligned with the strike plate and needed adjustment. Rick headed out and ground the strike plate opening to allow unobstructed movement of the deadbolt.

It was a very satisfactory experience dealing with this company. Richard, who came to give the estimate, was prompt, knowledgeable, and very pleasant to deal with. When he returned to install the locks, he arrived at the appointed time and had everything he needed to complete the job in a very thorough and professional manner. The price was exactly as we agreed upon at the time of the estimate.

The locksmith arrived on time, changed the lock, and was able to give me 5 keys. As he didn't know if I needed a silver or gold lock, he had both with him so that he would not have to wait while he went back to the store. I received a card with the code necessary to get additional keys. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with his level of service.

An appointment was set for me as soon as I called and the technician arrived not only on time but a couple minutes early. He was very knowledgeable and explained exactly what he would be doing and also gave me some insight about my existing lock and the potential lock I'm planning for an outside fence. The tech was polite, helpful and quick to complete his work. My only complaint would be that when I called the office, I was told that there was a per lock charge of $15 - so I'm thinking, 4 doors = $60. Obviously I don't know much about "locks" because apparently, there can be more than one tumbler in each apparatus and in my case, there were 2-3 in each door. It could be this is why their Angie's List page instructs the caller to contact Cathy Vanorden. I can only assume that she realizes the uninitiated like me would need this clearly explained. The price, while perhaps not out of line with other locksmiths, was a bit of a shock when I received it.
Description of Work: I discovered that my house keys to both inside and outside doors had fallen off my key chain. Not knowing where they might be or if someone might find them, I opted to have my locks changed and called Hillsborough Lock and Key.

I was extremely pleased that the company honored the free estimate promise. I would definitely call this company first if I needed a locksmith in the future.
Description of Work: Because we have had some break-ins in our neighbrohood recently, I called to request an estimate on having our old deadbolt locks on the front door and garage door replaced. I was told that the estimate would be free. A technician came out the next day. He examined our locks and explained we had good locks that did not need to be replaced. However, he recommended that the screws be replaced with longer screws to prevent the doors from being kicked in. He said he could replace the screws but assumed we would want to do that ourselves, since it was easy to do. He was going to charge us $40.00 for the service call. Even though we appreciated the advice about the screws, $40.00 seemed a bit excessive. I told him I had been promised a free estimate. As a result, he called the office. The individual he spoke with agreed that a free esimate had been promised, so there should be no service charge.
